The first time Mitch heard Paul Campbell from the Ohio Outdoors (O2) podcast say the words, "the month of October belongs to turkeys," he thought Paul needed to be checked into a mental hospital!

There are tons of fantastic deer hunters across the entire country. Each and every one of them has a unique set of tactics they bring to the table.

Pennsylvania Woodsman ·

2022/10/14

Pennsylvania is one of the few states that does not allow baiting or the use of hounds for hunting black bears. With the extreme diversity in habitat across this state, harvesting one with a bow can be a difficult task. However, with the season expansion and increase in bear population, archers taking the field in pursuit of these bruins have slightly better odds then they may have historically. Regardless, scouting and developing a hunting strategy is still not a walk in the park!This week on
