Why Are People Afraid of Hunting?
By Bill Keystone on August 23rd, 2011
Seems like I deal with someone who is afraid of hunting on a daily basis. And if you're a hunter, I'm sure you do, too.

Why I Love and Hate Turkey Hunting
By Bill Keystone on August 11th, 2011
I have been turkey hunting since I was 13. And before that, I went with my dad when I was as young as 6. We'd wake up at 4 a.m., ride out to the edge of a field way out of town, and then we'd march across an open field and slip into the tree line. There we'd sit for what seemed like days waiting, calling, watching. Sometimes it would rain. A couple of times it snowed. But we'd sit there and wait.
