AS MOOSE HUNTING SEASON ARRIVES HERE ARE SOME ABSOLUTE ESSENTIALS



Before you head out the door on your next moose hunting excursion, there are certain items you'll want to make sure are making the trip with you.

So you're getting ready for moose hunting season and you think you've got everything packed up and ready to go. There's always something that can be overlooked, and often, that item is the one that you need the most.
Here are some things you definitely won't want to forget:
  • Rules and Regulations: Make sure you've studied up on the local rules and regulations of the areas you plan to hunt. Forgetting, or not knowing, the rules can lead to some intense interactions with law enforcement which can make things go sideways in a hurry. Don't forget to check regulations on motorized vehicles as well!
  • Share Your Plans: Make sure to share your location and hunting plans with your friends or family. Give them a time-frame you'll be out hunting. If something happens, you'll want someone to know you're missing!
  • Know The Weather: Check the forecast before you head out. It is also beneficial if you know the area's weather patterns during hunting season so  you can be prepared for the unexpected! Rest assured, the unexpected will happen more often than you think.
  • Recommended Equipment: Check out this detailed list of items and tools you should bring with you on the hunt to help with meat transport.

BOWHUNTING TIPS: THREE-PART ANCHOR POSITION

Levi Morgan |  BowLife.com If you know archery, you know how important a consistent anchor is. Most people just think of anchor as being only one thing.

Everyone’s anchor involves – or at least should involve – the following:  release-to-hand contact hand-to-face contact string-to-face contact If you have these three components down, you will have a solid anchor position.      Release-to-hand contact  is very crucial in all parts of your shot, but none more so than your anchor.
