Northeast Hunting – New England's Premier Hunting & Firearms Blog

It wasn’t just ticks we found while venturing through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula recently, but some pretty darn good eating, too.

Do you remember Redfield scopes? They were always well-priced and considered by many hunters as some of the best scopes you could put on a rifle.

There simply is no better time of year to test out a product called the Tick Twister than spring. And an even better place to test it couldn’t be found than Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

It’s been a long time since I found a pocket knife that I carry all the time. Back when I was in high school and college, I carried around one of Schrade’s Old Timer knives. It was my favorite thing, having been given to me as a gift and used to field dress my very first deer and a whole slew of game since. My first year of college, however, that knife was stolen out of my truck while I was working one night. I haven’t had a permanent pocket knife since.

In this day and age, it’s not often that you’re able to come across a product that does exactly what it says. Slicing? Dicing? Cutting french fries in nine different shapes?

New England hunters are proving to be some of the country’s best, a fact that is being underlined by the fact that 30 New England sportsmen will be awarded Boone and Crockett distinction this June at the 27th Big Game Awards.

Since spring turkey hunting is underway in most areas, it’s a good time to explain how to properly score a turkey as set forth by the National Wild Turkey Federation.
