Who Is Spook? and Why Would Stickem Archery Select Spook as Their Spookesman?

So Who Is Going To Get A Crossbow?
With the recent legalization of crossbows as archery equipment in North Carolina I suspect there are a few folks besides me looking at them. Cabela’s has a basic buyers guide that is a good starting point to at least get your thinking about some of the options. Now even though the crossbow is a legal [...]

They Adjourned… Left Town… and Hunters Cheer
At least many of us did as the North Carolina lawmakers failed to pass laws to overturn the addition of crossbows as archery equipment, the addition of a second week of muzzle loader season, opening up Sunday’s to hunting on private land and a number of other rules that were delayed. I think it was [...]

Beer Wings & Global Warming Makes For A Fun Evening
Global warming and American Energy is not a topic I regularly dive into out here but the fact is climate changes and energy use affects us and the world around us. One only has to turn the news on and see how devastating the BP accident in the gulf is on the area. I’ll admit [...]

SmartShield Lives Up To Its Promises

Senate Bill 460 an Anti Hunting Bill?
The NRA and many of the dog hunting organizations are out in force to fight against bill 460 I think mainly because HSUS is for it. Seems to me current laws if were enforced would take care of the problem of puppy mills without the need of adding on additional laws. The anti-hunting extremists at [...]

I’m not sure which I like better Raspberries or Blackberries but they are surely some of the best stuff on earth.
