Zebra: Act Two -- Redemption
By Jarrod Feiner
Eric cornered me at the fire-pit the night before. Evidently, Nico, our earnest, and loveable PH, was concerned that I was planning on hunting by myself the next morning. Being the professional that he was, Nico felt, as he'd spent the last few days in full career of finding adventure with Eric in the mountains, that he'd been neglecting me. While Nico was great company in a blind, truth be known, I enjoyed hunting by myself . . .

The Tree Stand
By Matt Wemple
Time in a tree stand is time well spent. There is perhaps no better way to really take in everything nature has to offer. Hiking a mountain ridge to glass for elk at dawn is hard to beat. So is sitting in a duck blind and conversing between flights. But I have never felt as much a part of nature as I have when sitting in a tree stand . . .

The Ring of Fire
By Jarrod Feiner

The droppings were organized with great care into an oblong circle. I looked on with amused interest as John lit one of the droppings, and, cupping it in his hands, gently exhaled onto it. . . .

Coming Back
By Stuart Osborne
"So, are you going to hunt with a crossbow this year?" a friend asked. I glared back menacingly, then answered as nonchalantly as I could, "If I can't draw a bow this fall I'll video tape some of my friends getting their deer." Inside I was dying. Miss an entire year? I couldn't bear the thought. . . .

Fourteenth State
By Eric Hardin
Dark and bloody ground is one translation for the word Kentucky. The 14th state was a hunting ground for numerous Indian nations, though no one group controlled any significant portion of it during the first white settlement of the 18th century. Once, as a teenager, I found an arrowhead lying along the bank of a small creek . . .
