Kent Porter was just taking his two kids hunting on a buddy’s property in Tate County on Wednesday afternoon (Nov. 16), and by 4:15 p.m. the Hernando hunter was being absolutely pestered to death by his 10-year-old son Cody who wanted to pop a spike standing in front of the stand in which the hunters were concealed.
The elder Porter absolutely refused to allow it, and now young Cody is probably happy because a mere 30 minutes later a monster 10-point walked out. That deer later green scored 143 inches Boone & Crockett. […]
Cousins Swayze and Trey Bozeman of Flora share a lot in common, more than just the blood that flows through their veins. They both have fathers who love the outdoors and are extremely dedicated to their families. The dads love to hunt and fish, and at Bozeman Farms in Madison County, they share those passions with their sons.

The entire hunt during which Giles Island Hunting Club’s Jimmy Riley arrowed a 180-inch buck on Oct. 1 was filmed for inclusion in a national cable show, but that video won’t be available for months.

Bobby Vargas gets to hunt all over the country in his role as product line manager for PSE Archery, but he had never been to Giles Island Hunting Club in Adams County.

Temperatures rose into the upper 90s on Aug. 20, turning Lake Chotard into a sweat-inducing sauna. But boats were still jostling for position at Chotard Landing Resort in the afternoon heat, eyeing the weigh-in results and trying to decide if they should weigh in a fish.
