Regulatory Requirements How to Recognize and Deter Straw...Game Slayer Hunting Introduces the Release Catcher
When hunting or stalking, nothing is more important than becoming as invisible as possible to the game that you are hunting. By preparing for the hunt, we enter the woods or fields feeling confident that we have the “edge”. Then you climb into your treestand and as you begin your ascent up the tree, the clanging of your bow release clangs against the tree and the treestand. Busted!
Game Slayer Hunting introduces the Release Catcher, the first wristband bow release catcher that captures your release and keeps it immobile and silent until you are ready to use it. Lightweight and...

Digh Delivers in Eufaula Dominance
– It was do or die and Rob Digh did it. (Three times fast – anyone?)
The North Carolina standout entered the last day of the B.A.S.S. Nation Southern Divisional atop the field on Lake Eufaula. Trailing in second, Florida stick Chad Prough caught his biggest bag of the event – a 20-pound, 2-ounce limit – and put some serious heat on the winner.

Patience is the Virtue
Yesterday he gobbled until the very last second of his life. Spitting and drumming the whole way in, I would not have witnessed this spectacle had I not sat still, patiently waiting for an unknown outcome. Just this morning he never made a sound. I’d roosted him yesterday evening, and he came to defend his territory and his honor against my plastic jake. He too might have escaped had I not stayed just a little bit longer.
We’ve all blown hunts by leaving too soon---had we lingered just five minutes longer the outcome would have not involved heartbreak and frustration. It’s inevitable...
