Hunting hogs in the Florida “Hammocks”

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Jason and I have talked about hog hunting for several years. Hunting hogs with a bow has been something I’ve wanted to try since I first picked up a bow. When Jason called and offered me a chance to go on a 3 day hog hunt with him and friend, Mike Switzer, I jumped at the chance.

Lansky Deluxe 5 Hone Sharpening System

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Until coming across the Lansky Sharpening System, I was never able to put a sharp durable edge on my knives. I’ve tried whetstones and though I could put a serviceable edge on my knife, it was never truly sharp.

Springtime On The Water

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

May is one of my favorite times to be outdoors. I love to welcome in spring on the lake chasing the local crappies with friends old and new. As I’m writing this, I realize most of the month was spent fishing, and obviously, I didn’t give turkey hunting the attention it needed to be successful.

Product Review By Mike Bell, Sportsmen Portal Field Staff
Spring turkey hunting is one of my favorite outdoor pursuits. Through many years turkey hunting, I’ve tried several different calls. Even though I own several different kinds/brands of calls, I consistently find myself grabbing my Bear Hollow Slate, Walnut Box, and 2 favorite mouth calls (The Batwing and Ghost Cut) before heading into the woods.
