In 1986, Bill called and told me, “I have a friend named Toxey Haas, and I'm going to help him with his camouflage company.” At that time, I was dying my own camo, because the only camo you could buy back then was military camo. Bill brought some Mossy Oak Bottomland camo with him. We took the camo and hung it on a pine tree and a water oak tree. When I looked at the

Wendy Lacoss-Drake Takes Her First Bow Elk

I’d been hunting elk for 4 years with my bow. I had decided that I wanted to take an elk with my bow. Taking an elk with a gun never crossed my mind.
