Ok, so you've come to
the obligatory "Links Page". Every site seems to have
one. It just seems to be "The Law" to have a links page.
The problem with having a links page is knowing how many
links to have. I mean, how many is enough - or how many
is too many? I looked around the web at other archery
sites and almost all links pages have so many links that
it's hard to decide where to even begin.
I've come to learn
that the average archer doesn't need to be "spoon fed"
and can usually find what they're looking for by doing a
simple Google search. For those who disagree,
CLICK HERE. This
link will find enough archery links to keep you bust
until you're too old to even draw your bow. For some of
us, that may be sooner that we (I) would like to admit.
I'll post some links here without
getting too carried away. If you have a link that you'd
like to see posted here,
CLICK HERE to email
the link to me and I'll try to put it up here. When you
do submit a link, please try to include your reason for
wanting it to be posted. Thanks in advance for your
input. One last
thing... I'm not much of a fan of link pages with a huge
list of URLS (web addresses) and nothing more. I like to
at least see a brief description of the site. But to go
one step further, I plan to have a "Site Review" area
(below) where I'll pick a website that I think will be
of interest to our members and I'll do a review of that
site and explain why I think you'll like it. No promises
as to how often I'll update this though. I'll see how it
works out and if you like it, I'll keep it here.
OK, enough already -
on with the links....... |

WEBSITE REVIEWS
I'll try to post a new
review each month of a website that I think you may find to
be very interesting. |

Matt Short's hunting video diary |
| This is the real deal. Matt Short is an average Joe with
an "unhealthy obsession with the outdoors" who video tapes
his hunts on public land under real world conditions. Matt
is a bow-only hunter and is quite possibly out of his mind.
Be prepared to laugh out loud as you watch this guy.
He shows the good, the bad and the ugly. You won't find
any "canned" hunts or "ranch deer" on his show. Matt is a
skilled editor and it shows in his footage. The only
complaint I can come up with about this site and Matt's show
is that there are too few episodes. I'm really looking
forward to next season and you will be too.
I'm hoping to work out some sort of "interview" with this
guy for the website. I'll keep you posted on that idea. So
go now and check out some, if not all, of his episodes and
let me know what you think. If you don't absolutely love his
show, I will refund double your money back to you - no
questions asked.

"See & hear what deer see & hear"
|
| This may very well be one of the most
amazing websites I've ever come across that is related to
deer and deer hunting. Basically, what they've done is they
have attached a wireless camera to the head of several bucks
on this huge deer research ranch in Texas. These cameras are
filming 24/7 and you can log on and literally see life
through the eyes of a whitetail buck via the clips they have
posted to this site.
The video quality is surprisingly
good. At first, I thought it was a joke. I thought it was a
fake head with a camera mounted to it. But I soon found that
it's the real deal. You can see the Buck licking his nose
and when he stops to drink from a pond, you can see his
reflection - camera and all. You'll see everything from
bucks feeding or sparring or running full-bore through the
woods. The audio is amazing too. You can even hear them
chewing their food.
So what good is a camera mounted to a
deer's head? Well, I'm glad you asked. This setup allows you
to see, up close and personal what the buck is eating. Did
you know that they eat poison ivy? Oh yeah - believe it. And
how about aquatic plants from a pond? - beneath the surface
no less. Yep, they have video of a doe wading into a pond
and submerging her snout only to pull back up with a
mouthful of greens. Amazing!
And the camera is only one part
of the website. They also have "The Deer Doctor" - Dr. James
Kroll and he answers emails and does voice-overs while
watching the deer camera footage. They even have a couple of
whackos keeping things funny in the Deer Trax part of the
site.
Once you watch one video, it will
automatically load the next one. You'll obviously benefit
from a broadband internet connection and dial-up users may
have to wait a long time for these videos to load or it may
be jerky as it loads. The bottom line is that you'll need to
be prepared to spend a lot of time at this site watching
awesome footage and learning some priceless information
about deer. "Told ya!" |
