Our new issue is now out and just in time for the upcoming bowhunts. Our annual Bowhunting Issue is packed full of awesome stories of huge bucks and bulls and editorial how-to content that will get you ready for the archery season.

What’s on the Cover

This issue is backed by some incredible archery record animals. On the cover is Steve Alderman and his 204 3/8 gross and 195 4/8 net P&Y archery mule deer that is now the new #2 typical for Alberta. Also in this issue is the new #1 archery typical from Alberta taken by Peter Tsoulamanis scoring 213 6/8 gross and 196 1/8 net typical B&C.

How about a new pending #6 in the world and #2 for Utah non-typical archery elk. Troy Ence was hunting the southwest desert of Utah and arrowed this monster bull after 20 plus days of hunting. This huge bull officially scores 422 0/8 gross and 414 7/8 net P&Y and was one of the top bulls taken in 2007 regardless of weapon.

Oregon continues to showcase their banner year for velvet archery mule deer. We have Cody Cole’s very cool mule deer that is tall and narrow but scores a very impressive 197 gross and 193 7/8 net P&Y and is a pending #2 velvet typical archery buck for Oregon.
