Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of our cofounder, Jack Brauer. His 1960s “Stump Sitters” deer camp provided him the idea to incorporate the Stump Sitters Whitetail Study Group in 1973, which led to the creation of Deer & Deer Hunting Magazine, America’s First & Foremost Whitetail Source® in 1977. Before D&DH, deer hunters obtained their information from generalist publications. He was 85. Brauer was 37 years old when he walked away from a successful insurance sales career to join forces with his hunting camp member Al Hofacker to start the Stump Sitters, a membership group that shared hunting and scouting log information as a means of becoming more knowledgeable whitetail hunters. Neither man had any experience in publishing, but they used their knowledge of business and…

PRIORITY #1 Remember what the name of the sport is — bowhunting, not bow shooting. A lot of people would have us believe that the most important thing you can do to become a good bowhunter is to learn to drive tacks at 30 yards or 50 yards or whatever distance. That skill, however, won’t do you a bit of good if you’re not a good enough hunter to get that animal within shooting range. The goal always is to get a high-percentage shot at a relatively relaxed target animal. Become a good hunter and good woodsman to get that animal within your effective shooting range, whatever that range may be, and know what are high-percentage shots and what are not. Some of the most successful bowhunters we know are…
SIGHTS T.R.U. BALL AXCEL® LANDSLYDE SLIDER SIGHT The AXCEL® Landslyde Slider sight is packed with features that make it the perfect hunting sight. The most notable feature is the Rapid Adjust Knob (RAK) and quick release that slides the sight up and down along precision-made, whisper-quiet gear teeth. Push the Rapid Adjust Knob in to activate the quick release for rapid up and down movement or turn the Knob for precise fine-tuned yardage settings. Our designers strengthened and extended the amount of windage travel on our super-precise dovetail bar. Secure all settings on the Landslyde with an individual windage adjustment lock and an adjustable elevation lock. An adjustable dead stop allows you to quickly access 20 yards or any other yardage setting, but works extremely well when used with the…
You can make a strong argument that no single invention in the hunting industry has changed the landscape of hunting quite like cellular trail cameras. Sure, the compound bow grew leaps and bounds in popularity throughout the 2000s and 2010s, but let’s think about this for a second — we went from standing in line to develop film of photos captured weeks to perhaps months ago, to now having the ability to check trail cameras from your phone while vegging out on the couch hundreds of miles from the property. Cellular cameras have certainly helped hunters kill deer, but they have also saved numerous deer from being killed. Knowing big bucks are frequenting their area, hunters can choose to hold out for a mature buck, and many end up passing…
To say crossbows have improved by leaps and bounds is a science-based understatement. A couple of decades ago, a crossbow shooting 250 feet per second was thought to be an unfair advantage. Today, crossbows produce more speed and energy, with less noise and more consistency. The modern crossbow has kept up with society. As people get busier, with more demands on their time, crossbows have become easier and more intuitive to shoot, use, and maintain. There has never been a better time to look at entering the horizontal bow market or upgrading to take advantage of new technologies and accessories. TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT DO NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT Research and development is an ongoing process for any crossbow manufacturer. Today’s engineering will produce new bows five or more years from now.…
