Tom Bahti: Memories of hunting with a Moses stick

Featured, Features, Hunting, National Hunting, Wisconsin /

When you hunted Coues deer in southern Arizona with my late cousin, Kurt Bahti, you were gifted and used a “Moses stick.” Kurt fashioned them from the stem of a large cactus, and they were pieces of outdoor art.
Five to six feet in length, he would smooth out the gnarly surface of the cactus stalk, attach a rubber chair leg stop to the ground end, and then cover the upper third with tanned deer leather, which he carefully glued and stapled to the pole.

Dan Ladd: Random thoughts on earning a second buck in New York

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, New York, Opinion /

Here it is the eve of another spring turkey season in New York and many of us can’t stop talking about DEC’s current proposed deer hunting regulations, mainly the earn-a-second buck component. The timing is coincidental, because if this, or any of the other proposals were to make their way into this year’s Hunting & Trapping Regulations Guide, then decisions have to be made fairly soon.
Social media continues to be a hot-bed for discussion on this.
