Snowmobiles: The New Rage?

Snowmobiles: The New Rage? By Rod Woten I am amazed how far snowmobiles and the sport of snowmobiling have come in the 40-ish years since I first threw a leg over one. I remember our old Ski-Doo and Rupp sleds fondly. At the time they seemed powerful, comfortable and agile. Fast forward 40 years and […]

A Joe Learning from Pros

A Joe Learning from Pros We may call ourselves avid hunters, but we all have arenas within the sport that receive less attention than others.

Time to set your Tree Stand!

Time to set your Tree Stand! By Dan Johnson August is hot. August is humid. But if you’re like me, you’ve procrastinated too long and it’s the last chance to get some work done before the season starts.
