Traditional Roving for Modern Success
Long before the advent of 3-D targets and laser range finders, bow hunters honed their archery skills in much simpler ways. For the most part, they'd loose arrows at target butts from predetermined ranges. But, if they were really serious about improving their field skills, they would string their favorite hunting bow, grab a quiver, and go roving.

The Curse of Poncho: Colorado Mule Deer Hunt
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town, you remember the lyrics to that old 80's song. Ok, maybe my age is starting to show. Just like every previous Fall, a bachelor group of bucks would show up in the hay fields around the first week of August. They would number anywhere from twelve to twenty-six bucks and range from dink spikers to mature 180+ class big daddy rabbits. We would start patterning them and setting our blinds and stands in anticipation of the archery opener in late August.

Hunting Tips

Memorize Rocks
Memorize rocks. Yes. And stumps. If you hunt an area regularly, memorize the things that look like deer... stumps, rocks, etc. Then one time you will be hunting along, and... "hmmmm, I don't remember that rock" ... and you will look more closely, and, aha! ...it is actually a deer, hoping you would think it is a stump. Try it. It works!
