The crossbow is now responsible for more trophy whitetail buck entries into the Boone and Crockett record books than the .30-06 Springfield. In fact, although there aren’t many shortcuts to killing a giant whitetail, picking up a crossbow could be one of the best ones. The reason for that is simple: In most of the country, a crossbow is the most effective tool available that can be used for the longest portion of th…

Many elk-hunting stories describe this exciting scenario: The bull charges madly to a bugle call with fire in his eyes and is shot by the hunter at 20 yards. That certainly happens every year, but far less often than you think. The truth is, many more elk are hunted after the rut has ended, when bugling attempts are futile.
