    If money’s not an issue, what bow would you buy today?
    Hoyt Faktor! Preferably with a 80# draw

    If you could go on an all-expenses paid hunting trip anywhere in the world for 2 weeks, where would you go and what would you hunt?
    New Zealand, Red Stag, and every other big game animal they have there.

    Theresa Vail, Samantha Morgan, or Eva Shockey?
    Eva Shockey

    What’s your general preference: climbing stand, hanging stand, ladder stand, or stalk?
    I killed one deer from the stand this year, and two from stalking. Stalking for me is much more challenging and rewarding, if I had more land I'd do stalking every year.


    What do you do / use to keep your toes warm on those frigidly cold hunts?
    Hot Hands and a Zippo hand warmer. Also, I have some awesome boots that help a lot.


    You have a trophy bear, trophy mule, trophy bull, and trophy buck to your name – but you can only display one.
    Trophy bull all the way


    What’s on your wall?
    10 point buck, and that's it!


    What’s your favorite venison recipe?
    Back strap steak.
    1 cup of Worcestershire sauce
    1 Tablespoon of Soy Sauce
    1 Tablespoon of Cavenders seasoning



    Aside from BHOD, recommend a bowhunting show, magazine, or book you think every hunter needs to see

    Every single one of you needs to read/listen to Steve Rinella's book MeatEater. It's amazing. You need to do it, right now.

    1. Happy with the Bear Attack I have now, would use the money for something else

    2. Alaska, Kodiak spot and stalk. Would either be my best hunt ever, or my last

    3. Eva Shockey

    4. Hang on. Generally in a good spot and easy to move when need be

    5. Toasty toes, wool socks and insulated rubber boots

    6. A Bear looking over full mounts of the other 3, money is not an issue see question 1

    7. I like it simple, butterflied back strap steaks marinated in Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, crushed garlic and black pepper. Cooked medium rare over a hot charcoal grill with an ear of grilled corn on the cob and baked potato. It's a meal not a recipe :lol:

    8. Mapping trophy bucks (book)

    1. Have been seriously looking at the Elite line and have shot the No Cam.
    2. Africa for several animals or Yukon Moose or New Mexico Elk or Canadian Black Bear or Big Whitetails. So many choices so little time.
    3. There is nothing good that can come from answering that question. At least for me!
    4. Ladder Stand
    5. Merino Wool socks
    6. A 150"+ 8 point whitetail.
    7. Grilled tenderloin, grilled in butter with salt and pepper.
    8. Don't watch hardly any TV shows, love BHOD episodes though. I'll go against the grain here and say there was a show that I saw while on a bear hunting trip once that was called "Jimmy Big Time". Made me laugh, really a hunting spoof type of show but I am just off kilter enough to enjoy it. Haven't seen it since so it probably is not on anymore.

    It's like Parker Smith and I are living parallel lives. All except the book. I have a copy of that book. It's not all that it's cracked up to be IMO. I'd actually prefer the articles in RMEF magazine or Corey Jacobsens DVD's.

    1. If money’s not an issue, what bow would you buy today? The new no-cam!

    2. If you could go on an all-expenses paid hunting trip anywhere in the world for 2 weeks, where would you go and what would you hunt? Moose, Alaska. Solo.

    3. Theresa Vail, Samantha Morgan, or Eva Shockey? What? Without a google search, I don't know who they are. Based on other comments, must be girls. I'll take the woman I married, a million times over.

    4. What’s your general preference: climbing stand, hanging stand, ladder stand, or stalk? Hanging

    5. What do you do / use to keep your toes warm on those frigidly cold hunts? Need a better pair of boots, my feet freeze. I have the non-insulated redhead muck boots. I just keep wiggling my toes.

    6. You have a trophy bear, trophy mule, trophy bull, and trophy buck to your name – but you can only display one. What’s on your wall? Trophy buck, defintely

    7. What’s your favorite venison recipe? Hmmm. Tough one, tough one... Maybe fried cube steak. Wait, no... cube steak and gravey... Wait no, tenderloin steak wrapped in bacon... Wait no, Jerky.. Summer Sausage... I give up.

    8. Aside from BHOD, recommend a bowhunting show, magazine, or book you think every hunter needs to see. GrowingDeer.TV, Dr. Grant Woods has THE most informative hunting show, year around, i've ever seen. Wish I could meet that guy!

    1. Just picked up a Hoyt Carbon Spyder 34 and I can't think of anything better for me
    2. Alaska combo hunt for Grizzley and Moose, or New Zealand Red Stag. I can not decide between
    3. Eva Shockey
    4. Hanging Stand, but would love to try to spot and stalk
    5. Insulated boots and wool socks
    6. Trophy Buck
    7. Backstrap with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, old bay, and garlic powder rubbed on it grilled rare
    8. Meat Eater would be my first choice, but since it is bowhunting, Heartland Bow Hunter

    Don't watch many hunting shows... Don't read many hunting books... And don't read many magazines.

    I use the internet for the majority of my hunting resources.

    1. If money’s not an issue, what bow would you buy today?

      Haven't shot any, so I couldn't say.

    2. If you could go on an all-expenses paid hunting trip anywhere in the world for 2 weeks, where would you go and what would you hunt?

      New Zealand Red Stag

    3. Theresa Vail, Samantha Morgan, or Eva Shockey?

      Eva is the only one I know. But none.

    4. What’s your general preference: climbing stand, hanging stand, ladder stand, or stalk?

      I love stalking, but for my area, you have a much great success stand hunting. I hunt primarily out of hang-ons.

    5. What do you do / use to keep your toes warm on those frigidly cold hunts?

      Good pair of Merino Wool socks, good boots, and if necessary, a heat pack (sticky, or a pocket model placed under my toes in a pinch).

    6. You have a trophy bear, trophy mule, trophy bull, and trophy buck to your name – but you can only display one. What’s on your wall?

      Bull Elk

    7. What’s your favorite venison recipe?

      Bologna :D Probably loin medallions in butter, garlic, oil, and flour.

    8. Aside from BHOD, recommend a bowhunting show, magazine, or book you think every hunter needs to see.
