Peak Whitetail Rut Dates Hunting whitetail during the rut is quite different than hunting during the PEAK RUT period of the season. While the rut is on, most bucks are roaming the woods at all times of the day searching for does in estrus. Since this window of opportunity is so brief (generally 5-10 days), bucks will spare little energy and time to seize these opportunities and will do so with surprising carelessness often times. However, as this window closes, bucks revert back to regular patterns which dramatically reduce their movements during daylight hours. The prudent hunter will compensate for this by changing his/her basic strategy. The following strategy is proven effective when the common...

The grooms cake is an interesting tradition originating in the south where it was used as an additional dessert at the wedding, meant to be a gift from the bride to her other half. This tradition has made a big revival in the past few years and one can see this cake in many weddings nowadays. The question of course comes up: what kind of cake should you have? As the tradition might indicate, the grooms cake was centered around the bridegroom. Thus, it usually incorporated elements of things that he might like. It was centered around 'masculine' themes, such as hunting, sports, etc. A quick look on Google for groom's cake will reveal dozens of pictures. As you can figure out from these pictures, the...

peratures at night start to graze the bottom of the mercury barrel. The amount of available sunlight decreases on a daily basis, and whitetail bucks slowly go mad with wanton desire. Rubs and scrapes appear on the edges of fields and along trails in high-interaction areas. Deer activity intensifies during daylight hours as a sudden influx of animals crossing highways and country roads at night increases. This stage of the whitetail breeding season is commonly referred to as the pre-rut. Selecting the right stand location at this time of year can result in a close encounter of the monster buck kind. It’s an extremely exciting time to be in the deer woods. There simply is no better time to...

Whether a log cabin tucked back into the mountains or a rustic cabin at the seashore, a getaway cabin is a dream come true. Cabins often have limited space, so families struggle to select the right cabin furniture. They usually need to maximize sleeping arrangements so kids can bring friends, and relatives' families can come for a stay. Cabin owners end up using twin beds as sofas where they would really prefer to have sofas and beds. Why not use versatile, multi-functional furniture that provides both comfortable and attractive sitting and comfortable sleeping? Futon couches have serious advantages as cabin furniture! Consider some of the great things they can do for a cabin. Futons serve both...

1982 Bowhunter of the Year: Deuaine Lake In 1983 my mom, Beulah, wrote an article for the Michigan Bow Hunters (MBH) archery newspaper that featured my dad, Deuaine Lake. Technology by the bow and arrow manufacturers in the early 80's was just starting to kick into high gear. In 1982 Dad was given a bow by a company known as Proline, just so he could field test it. He also was using Bear Super Razorheads, which were given to him personally by Fred Bear. In that same year, dad received the honor of Bowhunter of the Year award with the MBH. The following article was listed in the December, 1983 MBH newspaper: Deuaine Lake, 1982 Bowhunter of the Year has been with MBH since 1955. He started as an...

In many parts of the country, Thanksgiving Day is early enough in the winter season that the weather is still relatively nice. Why not take advantage of the outdoors and escape the heat of a house that has been warmed with a hot oven all morning? In addition to enjoying each other's company, it is a good idea to have some games to play (especially if you have already eaten your Thanksgiving meal and are regretting that extra drumstick or dinner roll that you ate). Playing outdoor games is also a good way to give the kids in your group a chance to let out some of the energy that they may have had stored up from being cooped up inside all day. There are almost limitless options when it comes to...

Year after year, they come back empty handed and disappointed. Although there are a variety of reasons that can lead to an unsuccessful turkey hunt, one often overlooked, or at least played down, reason is how the hunter is actually dressed for an expedition.

If you read many of my articles, you will know that I do not advocate spending mega bucks to get into this wonderful hobby of treasure finding with metal detectors. As a hobbyist with almost 40 years of using metal detectors, I am convinced that the most expensive equipment is not the best way to start. What delights me today is the fact that the big name metal detector manufacturers are producing some great machines at price levels that permit people at every age and income level to find out that this is the best hobby in the world. The Garrett Ace 250 is one of the very best of these new detectors. Priced at just over $200, this is a powerful detector with numerous features. Here are some of the...

According to some scientists, religions are a form of superstition. But then again, some scientists believe that consciousness itself is an illusion and everything can be explained by interactions between chemicals and particles. On one level, religion may have developed in the same way superstitions developed. Once you make the assumption that there is an invisible connection between one thing and another, it opens a whole new world of possibilities. After making enough such assumptions, primitive mankind could easily have surmised that there was a spiritual being controlling life on Earth. With no idea of what such a spiritual being might have been like, it was natural to imagine God to be some...

While dogs tend to get lots of exercise, cats are often left to their own devices, having to find their own ways of exercising if they are kept indoors. Cats have gone from working animals to creatures of leisure. In the past, a cat spent most of its day hunting, keeping the homestead free of rodents. Today, most cats are pure companions who spend the day waiting for their beloved human to return home. Even if you work from home, it is important to set aside some time to play with your cat. Interacting with you stimulates her physically and mentally, keeping her healthy in body and mind. The time of day you play depends on your schedule and your cat's natural rhythms. Some cats like a leisurely...

Over the years, I've written down just about every organizing tip I've ever found. I even studied to become a professional organizer in my spare time. And it's paid out 10 times over, though I mainly use it for my own personal needs. 'Where's the keys honey', I know the answer to that. 'Mum, I can't find my sticker'. I know the answer to that too. You ask me for something, anything at home and chances are, I'll know where it is. And that carries over to my desk too. If I don't find the time to file my invoices or put away cheque stubs, I will still know where they are and when they've been moved. You don't have to be so overly conscious of everything in your home and desk, but as a freelancer, it's...

Do you often go hunting only to return home frustrated because you weren't able to kill any game? Do you believe this is not your fault, but the fault of your crappy hunting rifle scope? I have felt the same way in the past. I have used scopes that fogged up because of the morning mist or even broke because it got wet. I have used scopes that weren't accurate in the first place. According to my scope, the deer was a sure hit. But when I pulled the trigger I only ended up missing the target. I decided to do some research online before buying a new rifle scope, so that I wouldn't end up buying the wrong one time and again. After reading various articles and good reviews, I decided on purchasing the...

While many hunters realize that first aid is important to carry in the field, many neglect the fact that their four-legged hunting companion also may need some medical attention. Dogs are tough and often with their adrenaline pumping can get into bad situations. When running at full speed through trees they can get cut and bruised easily, and a hunter has to be prepared for the different types of injuries their hunting dog can sustain. A dog's first aid kit will be a bit different from the human variety; dogs won't often need emergency aspirin or adhesive bandages. While dogs are tough animals and a lot of the injuries they sustain will be minor enough to not need veterinary attention until the end...

Almost every long-time World of Warcraft player will tell you that the game has no secrets. Well, don't believe it. They may think that everything automatically unfolded for them, but just like the guy who whispered in his ear about that "secret" affair-slash-scandal in high school, somebody told him - he wasn't born knowing all things. If he's insistent that there are no WoW secrets, you better believe that player's played a lot of game or Googled a lot of "secrets." The fact of the matter is that World of Warcraft is absolutely enormous. And not only is it huge, it changes constantly, so just when you get the hang of it, they'll throw something new at you. To the everyday player who spends 80...

A travel GPS system is good to have if you like to go on hiking trips, for example into the woods or to the mountains. We often hear about hikers that never came back or mountain climbers that just disappeared. This could probably have been avoided if these people had hiking GPS units with them.

Before you purchase a GPS unit you should figure out what kind of GPS you need for your outback activities. The first thing to find out is whether the GPS unit's map covers your travel area. If it doesn't, it's useless. Some of the travel or hiking GPS systems have different maps as a downloadable feature. Among...

Turkeys can be hunted with many different arms, including guns and bows. Turkeys are very wary and fast and therefore, hunting with knives or similar is just not possible. Whenever a hunter goes hunting for turkey, he has to make sure that he checks the local hunting laws and regulations in regards to arms.

The options for bows, arrows and the associated gear for bow hunting deer today has progressed by leaps and bounds from the time archery was first discovered. The history of wooden bows and arrows covers more than 15,000 years of recorded history. Our ancestors discovered how to make these weapons, and over the millennia changed and modified them for use in both acquiring game and battling their fellow man. In the last 100 years more changes and improvements have been made to archery equipment than in all the centuries preceding. A hundred years ago, the state of the art was still limited to wooden longbows or wooden and bone recurve bows. Today we have the modern compound bows. Originally invented...

Domestic cats are the only variety of the cat family that can have their tails vertical when walking. Wild cats, like lions and tigers, walk with their tails horizontal or between legs. When a domestic cat walks with its tail vertical, it indicates that he recognizes whoever or whatever is near. Another interesting fact about cats is that cats never employ meowing to communicate with each other. Domestic cats descended from solitary creatures. Being solitary and hunting alone by nature, they have a limited set of communication skills for confrontation. Especially lacking is body language. Some misconceptions that a lot of people have about cats are that they always land on their feet. This idea is...

This is due to various reasons, for some, the owner wants their dog to learn to hunt or engage in a particular sport or activity. Other dog owners appreciate a dog that will perform specific activities such as heeling. But the majority of dog owners simply want to provide basic behavior training. Many dogs are bred and/or raised to perform particular activities. This can include hunting, drug sniffing, Search & Rescue, Frisbee, and a slew of other things. These activities showcase the abilities of the dog and those of the dog owner/trainer. Obedience...

Many students spend some part of their gap year abroad and if that's you then I have a challenge for you. Instead of spending your time getting sunburned and bored, why not have the adventure of your life volunteering in Africa! People say it's a small world, and these days traveling to Africa is much easier than when Livingstone got himself lost up the Zambezi! Flights are frequent from most parts of the world and getting around inside Africa might be a constant adventure but mostly now it's in comfortable four wheel drive vehicles. Trekking is, of course, open to those who want it, but it's entirely up to you. But why volunteering in Africa for your gap year abroad? For many it's the huge range of...

Have you ever heard the expression, "Nip the problem in the bud?" Simply put, it means; "Stop the problem before it starts". The same can be said for raising a problem free cat. Bad behaviors are usually learned as kittens and develop into larger problems as they grow up. When aggressive behavior such as biting and scratching is nipped in the bud, training kittens to become well-behaved cats is much easier. Playful kittens can be so cute; it's hard to see their biting and clawing as much of a threat. It hurts a little, but not that bad so why not let them bite, scratch, and play with your hands? The reason is simple, you do not want this behavior to continue when they develop sharp claws and teeth...

Cats usually revert to instinctive behaviors when they are put in situations that trigger uneasiness. Biting and scratching is often a cat's natural reaction to anxiety. How to stop your cat from biting begins by understanding your cat's tendency toward their natural behaviors. Biting and scratching behavior toward humans usually starts with kittens as "play" behavior. Kittens learn to hunt and defend themselves through their innate sense of play. When you use your hands for this type of play, kittens learn that your hands are objects in which they can practice their defensive and hunting skills. Although cats develop many behaviors as kittens, there are times when their actions seem unexplainable...

Cats have been around for a long, long time. Unfortunately, in today's society, the cat population has exploded, with the result that many new kittens are turned out to become homeless, or placed indiscriminately in homes where they are neglected and often cruelly mistreated. In spite of that fact, many millions of households have one or more beloved pet cats and would never think of mistreating them. I recently learned some things I didn't know before about cats. If you think cats can't learn to do tricks, that all cats are instinctive hunters, and that all cats love sweets, think again. A lot of what we think we know about cats is not true at all. 1. You CAN teach a cat to do tricks. Even an older...
