With the disappearance of hunters would come the disappearance of a community of people that provide thoughtful care for and participation in nature, people who understand the natural world as no other group can. When I see a picture of a hunter with an animal, I know the context. I hope this gives them a better understanding of what I do. For example, if Under Armour did not sell a single piece of hunting apparel for the next month or if every hunter called and emailed in response to dropping Sarah Bowmar, I’m sure that Under Armour would think twice before kowtowing to pressure from social media.

” Over the past few years I’ve become increasingly convinced of the importance of understanding and identifying buck bedding areas, especially when hunting in heavily pressured areas. Given the popularity of decoys in the turkey world, a lot of thought has gone into the placement and details of a proper set-up, and I think this same attention to detail should be employed when using a decoy for deer hunting. That said, a set-up that I’ve been using lately, based on advice from John Dudley, is to use a single buck decoy (missing an antler) angled in towards you, with the wind blowing from the decoy to you. This set-up will encourage a buck to circle around the decoy (and towards you), while angled towards the fake buck – allowing for an easy shot, without a chance of the buck winding you.
