National Bowhunter Education Foundation Announces Photos From the Field Contest

RAPID CITY, SD – The National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) is calling all bowhunters to participate in its Photos from The Field contest, a celebration of the passion and camaraderie within the bowhunting community. NBEF is dedicated to portraying bowhunting in a positive light and recognize bowhunters who are proud of their sport.

Whether you’re a longtime friend of NBEF, a student, an instructor, or have been part of our journey in any capacity, we invite you to share your favorite bowhunting moments with us. Our contest is not about the size of your harvest or the score of your game; it’s about the memories and experiences you’ve had in the great outdoors. Your photo could depict the anticipation of heading out, a heartwarming gathering to swap bowhunting tales, a delicious meal prepared from your harvest, meticulous setup or checking of trail cameras, maintenance of your equipment, or any other snapshot that encapsulates the essence of your time afield.

To participate, simply email your photo to info@nbef.org and include your name (we will use only your first name and last initial), your home state/country, and the location where your captivating photo was taken. Selected photos may find their way to our platforms at NBEF.org, Facebook, or Instagram.

NBEF Executive Director Marilyn Bentz explained, “NBEF’s mission is to be the beacon of responsible bowhunting. Let’s join forces to champion bowhunting together. We’re thrilled to display your bowhunting snapshots and reward fortunate winners with NBEF trucker caps and merchandise.” Read more

Get Set for Waterfowl Season with Hunt Monkey

For those who love the sights and sounds of hunting ducks, geese and other waterfowl, this one’s for you. While seeing a flight of ducks decoy into the spread, the conditions also present some unique challenges. The hunting is often best when the weather is at its worst—cold temperatures, drizzling rain and even sleet or snow, plus gusty winds. Being on the water doesn’t help things, and retrieving decoys can also make for a soaking-wet experience too. And you also need to remain well concealed.

Hunt Monkey understands these unique challenges and has a complete line of gloves designed with the waterfowler in mind. From those dry, warm early season hunts to later in the year when things can turn downright frigid, there’s a glove solution for nearly every condition. Read more

Swagger Bipods QD Series, Ideal for Western Hunting

For many hunters, kicking off another big game season is spent traveling to the western United States to hunt screaming bull elk or a monster mule deer. Whether hiking up and down the majestic Rocky Mountains, trekking through the plains, or foothills farther north, the hunt will be demanding. In sharp contrast to deer hunting, hunters cannot sit in a treestand or blind and wait for the game to come into close range. Western hunting requires packing a firearm and a large backpack full of all the essential gear the hunter may need. To make it more challenging, the hunter must travel the rough terrain until they find an animal, get into close range, and find an area where they can make the shot. Read more
