Ohhh yea, it’s opening day of archery season for some of you lucky hunters, for the rest of us, another week closer! Fall is definitely in the air around my neck of the woods. On my drive into work this a.m. the temperature gauge read 37 degrees, trees are just starting to turn color, and college football is back! Everyday from here on out just gets better and better for us hunters. That said, as we do here on most Fridays, here’s a roundup of the best hunting blog posts from around the web this week.

Bow-Tuning Basics: How to Set Up a Compound Hunting Bow – Field and Stream: The author, Micheal R. Shea, definitely knows his stuff. I worked at an archery shop a few years ago for the summer, and I can tell Shea laid out very detailed instructions in this one. Impressed!

Footage Released of the #2 World Record Non-Typical Whitetail – Wide Open Spaces: A little entertainment to help get you through the day. I remember hearing about this buck and the extra steps the hunter took with landowners and the DNR while pursuing this giant. I must warn you about the heavy product advertising in the video though
