Perfect Practice

Are you one of those bowhunters who waits until the week before the season begins to start shooting? Bad idea! An archer owes it to the game they’re pursuing as well as every other bowhunter in the world to be as lethal as possible BEFORE stepping foot afield. Plus, set aside bowhunting, archery is a fun sport in its own right. Practice until shooting becomes second nature. Practice enough so that when the moment of

Bill Custer Relives His Five Bull Elk Circus

This section of Colorado where I hunt homes a lot of range cattle too, besides wild animals. When I arrived at one of my favorite spots to hunt elk, a small herd of cattle was there. I just stood still, not wanting to spook the cattle that potentially could spook any elk in the vicinity, if the cattle stampeded. I decided to let the cattle feed on through that area.

Elk Hunting with Bill Custer

Bill Custer of Clovis, California, is a member of the Mossy Oak and PSE ProStaffs and has bowhunted most of his life. He’s hunted elk in Oregon, New Mexico and Utah, but 90-percent of his hunting is in Colorado on public lands where he can buy a tag over the counter. The 2013-2014 season will be his 33rd hunting elk on public lands, and he’s taken 27 elk with his bow.

To Be a Better Bowhunter and Take More Game, Shoot Target Archery

Tournament archery also simulates the pressure that hunters have when there is a trophy animal in front of them. I have learned to focus and concentrate so much on my shot that I don’t get buck fever when I have a nice animal within bow range. Also tournament archery has allowed me to develop my shooting and accuracy far out past 40 yards. I feel extremely confident taking a shot at 60 yards or more.

Hunting with ProStaffer Mark Jackson

I believe one of the biggest differences between hunting whitetail and blacktail deer is that the whitetails seem to be more leery, which isn’t surprising. Whitetails have been hunted much harder by more people and for much longer than blacktails. Most whitetails by the time they are 3-years old have had several hunter encounters, and they are tuned-up on how to avoid the hunter danger.
