Bowhunting: What to do during the "off" season, Part 4

Posted by Todd Koenig on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, In : Bow Hunting 
So far, in my Bowhunting: What To Do During the "Off" Season articles, I have discussed alternative hunt opportunities, shooting in your house, and joining a league. Each of these activities allows the archer to work on different skill sets yet all maintain or increase muscle memory and generally increase the comfort with your equipment. It is now time to find some hunting options again and what better way to do this than add a hunt to a vacation you are all ready planning. If you are no...

Bowhunting: What To Do During the "Off" Season - Part 2

Posted by Todd Koenig on Monday, December 17, 2012, In : Bow Hunting 
In Part I of my previous article, I shared ideas for extending your hunting opportunity beyond the deer season.  Extending your hunting season is great, but it may not be for everyone. You may have no interest in pursuing small game, don't have the time to travel, or don't what to spend additional money by heading out of state.  While extending your hunting season on small game, varmints, and predators will improve your hunting skills and increase your practice time, your skills can be...

Bowhunting - What to do with the "offseason," Part I

Posted by Todd Koenig on Thursday, November 29, 2012, In : Bow Hunting 
As deer season draws to an end, many bowhunters are left with an empty feeling and dreams of the following year's hunt.  I wish next year would be here as well and while it would be nice to fast-forward the off season, it is not an option in the foreseeable future.  Now is the time to make those adjustments and perfect your performance.  The worst thing you can do is put your bow away.  What you do right now, will build the foundation for next year's hunting success.

My tips from the field - naturally attract deer

Posted by Todd Koenig on Wednesday, October 31, 2012, In : Deer Hunting 
Naturally attract deer? How, you ask?  Disturbed Dirt!

Disturbance made at ~4:00 pm, no scent.  10/13/09
This idea came to fruition after working at many different construction sites.  The morning after any earth related disturbance I observed a high amount of deer tracks in the soil.  They would show up overnight after we had gone home from the job site.  From the appearance and direction of the tracks, they were there for no other purpose than to check out the newly excavated so...

Extra deer? Donate them to the Food Shelf

Posted by Todd Koenig on Thursday, October 25, 2012, In : Deer Hunting 

    Don't forget to donate to the Minnesota Venison Donation program!

    There are two simple methods of going about this.  One, make a nominal financial donation of $1, $3, or $5 anywhere you purchase your hunting or fishing licenses.  Or, more importantly, donate one or more of the deer that you harvest, at no cost to you, to one of the state approved meat processors located throughout the state.

Todd Koenig I have always had a great love for the outdoors. In fact, I can’t remember a time that I wasn’t hunting, fishing, trapping, or exploring the wilderness. From an early age, I enjoyed bringing my camera along for the perfect wildlife shot and putting those photograph’s together into a story. Having a degree in Biology and teaching a variety of science classes, sharing my outdoor knowledge comes very naturally to me. With encouragement from my family and friends, I now plan to pursue my passion for the outdoors with you! I hope that you enjoy the experience as much as I do. I live in central Minnesota with my wife and two young daughters, and yellow lab. You can connect with me on my blog: http://www.recordingtheoutdoors.com/, Facebook: recordingtheoutdoors.com, and YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/recordingtheoutdoors
