The bucks were in a classic pre-rut mode and we had seen some very good deer during a 7 day hunt on our leased property. I passed on a couple bucks early in the week. On the final day of my hunt, I spotted this buck cruising along a fresh-cut cornfield behind my stand. I… Continue Reading →

Taken on Nov. 11th at 4:18 18yards with a Matthews Outback. 161 3/8 gross. What a great hunt.

November 11th was my Dads birthday. He passed away 23 years ago at the age of 62. He taught me all I know when it comes to hunting. For some reason this day he was on my mind more than usual and rather than not going out hunting on a terribly windy day I decided… Continue Reading →

I had been bowhunting about 8 years (started late at 39) and taken a few does and some basket bucks, nothing close to P&Y. I had found some private land about 4 miles from my work in Page County Virginia that was approx 30 acres but bordered big mountain land that was off limits to… Continue Reading →

This is a buck I took in 2004. The buck followed a doe and passed below me about a yard from my tree. This buck and doe were bedded down about 40 yards from my stand. I waited nearly 1 1/2 hours for the buck to come in and passed on a 150 class buck… Continue Reading →

I stopped him at 5 yards and with my Mathews LX I made a perfect shot. Hes a main-frame 9 and field-dressed at… Continue Reading →

I purchased my Mathews Feather Light back in 1996 and have loved it ever since. Over the years I havent had to do anything to the bow other than replace the string and cable once. I have taken 3 Pope and Young deer with it. This last one being the biggest. I rattled this buck… Continue Reading →

This was the end of October and the pre-rut in Kansas was in full swing. I arrowed this 140" gross whitetail which was following a doe in a river bottom on a real windy Kansas day. This buck dressed out at 225 pounds. What can I say but my Mathews Outback did its Job. Thank… Continue Reading →

As the 2004 archery season approached once again I headed out in search of the elusive whitetail buck. With dads trusty Mathews MQ-32 in hand I made a most efficient 25 yd shot on a respectable 8 pointer, recovering yet another trophy within 35 yds. I have no doubt Dads spirit was guiding me all… Continue Reading →
