Former Horseheads resident shoots 16-point buck
January 29, 2008
Former Horseheads resident Nick Erway returned to the Southern Tier for deer season and tagged this 16-point monster.
When Thomas Wolfe once famously wrote, “You can’t go home again,” it was obvious he hadn’t met Nick Erway.
The former Horseheads resident, who now lives in Newport, Pa., comes home every year to hunt a few days in the Southern Tier. This year, however, proved to be special.

Reflections of a Die-Hard Bowhunter
January 15, 2008
By Mike Rex
The author poses with a wall full of impressive Buckeye bow bucks taken over the years, including his 2005 megabuck that scored 218 6/8 non-typical and graced the January cover of North American Whitetail.
When I first took an interest in deer hunting, if I learned about a veteran hunter’s technique for harvesting big deer, I would usually take it to heart. After all, he was the expert and if it worked for him, then why not me? After I had a few seasons under my belt, the realization began to sink in that there’s never a “never” and never an “always” in the whitetail woods. If I was going to increase my luck, I knew that I would have to adopt some basic principles that applied to my particular situation.
Over the last 30 years, I’ve developed a strategy through trial and error that, combined with a little luck, has helped to keep my taxidermist busy. These are a few of the things I’ve learned that have helped me get close to a handful of mature whitetails in the area I hunt. Not everything I do is necessarily in line with “conventional wisdom,” and some of my techniques may not apply to every area that whitetails roam, but these strategies certainly have helped me on occasion.

Clark takes trophy, with dad/mentor nearby
January 9, 2008
Daughter’s buck exceeds 176 inches gross
Allison Kincaid Clark started hunting when she was 7 so she could spend time with her dad.
So it was appropriate then on Dec. 17 that Clark, now married and living and selling women’s health supplies in Memphis, was sitting in a stand not far from her dad, Robert Kincaid, when she killed what he called a buck of a lifetime.
After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found it�s a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the company�s claim it derives from a saying they have up north, �I�ve got it!�
