My first deer- I was 16 years old, taken after two years of hunting hard, misses and mistakes made. Back then I hunted off the ground as I still do today almost exclusively. I would find a spot to sit and stay still for hours. Nothing fancy just find a good spot and sit with my recurve and wait. Share your first deer! 🦌 tell us a bit about the process and experience. Below is an excerpt from the end of Chapter 4 “Connecting to the Hunter” from my first book - The Code Of Traditional Archery talking about the end of that very evening. - It dawned on me that I should get my father to share this experience. It was close to dark when we returned together to the fallen buck. We sat for several minutes in silence. After saying a word of thanks and dressing the deer, we began the drag out of the woods. My father and I spoke few words that night on the drag out. I insisted on doing all the work while my father accompanied me through the tangled fortress of brush and trees surrounding the opening where I had killed the buck. After a three-kilometre slog, which seemed to take hours, we finally arrived at the fence line and loaded the buck into the back of his pickup. Catching my breath, I looked up at the shining stars. The wind had picked up a bit, and in the ambient light, I could see lines on my father's face that I hadn't noticed before. It was a moment of reflection that I will never forget. Something changed in me that day. After following him for years in the woods and waterways of my youth, something new had broken through; I was now walking beside, not behind, him. I had reached a new connection with my father to our ancestors. I now realize that in this connection of living and pursuing to hunt to live, I felt the resilience and self-reliance that has guided our species' survival over the time we have walked this earth.

Hey Folks! So as some of you are aware we recently had a hiccup with our distributer that impacted some of our t-shirts, a couple of folks got the same shirt multiple times, or the sizing was a little small. We recently sat down with our distributor and resolved the issue, funny enough it was a small technical issue with a SKU lol.... Grant and I out of our own pocket issued several refunds and still paid for these shirts BECAUSE it matters to us!...You guys matter to us! We are trying to create a brand, one that is built by a community of like minded people, who walk the path as traditional bowhunters. I am proud to say that we have ironed out what the issues were with our distributer and will be now operating at a more efficient level. With any new business there will be an evolution of operations, I can confidently say that we are good to go!!! We will be advertising these shirts to a larger audience in the near future, so it has been important for us to have all aspects of the business working smoothly. Soooo......for all those that sent me or Grant a DM or an email and provided feedback on our shirts, thank you!🙏 WE ARE NOW READY TO LAUNCH!!!.... *Please feel free to send me a message at @Jenn Richardson if you have any follow up questions or concerns! PS...I had to use a Blue Jays meme!!! lol...Just saying 🇨🇦

Would you shoot at this deer? 🦌 Yes or No? 🚫 Why or Why not? 🤔 You see there is no right or wrong answer. 👍 It is entirely up to the individual and their abilities, their comfort zone, and their effectiveness within their own lethal range. Yes there is a tree and yes his foreleg is back a bit.. The photo of this deer was taken about a week before I took him on the ground about 25 yards from where this image was taken off a camera my dad had up. He was taken in very heavy brush and I had a very small shooting lane. And - a Very quick shot exposure. My point being I’ve had three attempts at him and another deer that very week until I got a shot. The reason I made the shot is very simple. I had practised not only shooting in those tight quarters on the ground with very little cover around me, but it also practised drawing repeatedly through the small shooting lane I had that the deer were coming through from a very heavy tight covered bedding area. Practice the way you will hunt! And success will come! leave a comment below! Good luck folks! ✅

3 cameras have been up for almost a week,have 3 bucks so far this one is the best looking so far .

Nothing will ever completely mask your scent from the nose of a whitetail deer, here's is a DIY way of saving money and using natural available coverup to reduce your odour while hunting. Anyone use scent coverups while deer hunting? Cheers! -Grant
