Make Mine an Eight Pointer
by Gerald Almy ...................................................................................22
Big whitetail bucks are tough to deal with. Harvesting a mature eight pointer can be quite an accomplishment.
Keeping Kids in the Hunt
by David Hart .....................................................................................26
Our youth are the future of hunting in this country. Teaching kids the safe and right way to hunt is the obligation of all adult hunters.
The Dog-Gone Controversy
by Don Shumaker ...............................................................................30
Deer hunting with hounds is an age old Southern tradition. The long term future of this practice is under fire.
Mother Nature looks out for wildlife, and
the whitetail deer is no exception. In the
winter, when weather conditions become
brutal, the whitetail's winter coat is
made up of kinky, brittle, hollow hairs
that are filled with air that can be easily
pulled out of the skin. However,
underneath the hairs is a very soft and
fine undercoat that protects the animal
from the cold like a wool jacket. The
winter coat is grayish-brown at the tip,
and the base of the hair is dark gray to
almost black. The whitetail's winter coat
provides the insulation needed to
survive record low temperatures!
