I've shot a 3-pin sight my whole life, but switched to an HHA this summer. So far, on targets anyway, I've really liked it. It's definitely made the 60- and 70-yard shots easier. I won't be taking anything like that in the woods, but it's great practice and a lot of fun. I learned a lot about single-pin sights hanging around some of the Bowcast guys, and have posted a few videos and articles about them recently on the main Realtree site. Check them out.

Hey guys, Cole Wallace is the winner of the first week's Turkey Tip contest. We'll be giving away more prizes for this week's winner. I think some new turkey calls from H.S. Strut are next on the list. http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/turkey-tip-contest-winner-cole-wallace

We just launched the Strut Report map, in addition to the Turkey Tips contest, in the turkey section of the main Realtree.com site. The Strut Report is intended to be used as a resource so you can submit reports about the gobbling and strutting activity in your area and check on other reports from across the country. http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/turkey/strut-report

We just launched a couple new items in the turkey section of Realtree.com. One of them is a Turkey Tips contest. You can read the rules, learn about some of the prizes and make a submission by going here: http://www.realtree.com/turkey-tip-contest-submission Basically, we'll be picking the best turkey hunting tips, publishing them on Realtree.com, and sending prizes to the winners. The prize for the best tip this first week will be a new ThermaCell. We'll be announcing the other prizes in the coming weeks here in the forums, on the Turkey Blog ( http://www.realtree.com/hunting/blogs/turkey-blog) and on the Realtree Outdoors Facebook page. We won't announce them in each spot every time, so you'll have to check around to figure out what the prize for the week is. At the end of the season (June 1), we'll be giving away a new turkey vest to the author of the best overall tip of the year. Hope you all enjoy it!

Hey folks, we posted the winners to the two photo contests yesterday. If you're among the winners, I'll be e-mailing you soon about your RealStore gift card. Hope you guys and gals enjoyed the contests. http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/photo-contest-winners-announced

Thanks, guys. Info like this helps.

Hey guys, looking for some honest opinions and feedback here on feature stories for Realtree.com. Would you rather read hunting "stories," written for entertainment, like this: http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/****-ducks ...or do you prefer "how-to" articles that attempt to teach you something about hunting, like this: http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/how-duck-commanders-kill-ducks Or do you like a mixture of the two? So far as stories go, what do you guys think is missing?

Hey guys and gals, here's the first round of finalists for the waterfowl photo contest. http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/december-waterfowl-photo-contest-entries

Yes. We'll post some of the photos we've already received in a photo essay the beginning of next month (see some of the photo essays already posted from the deer season contests as an example). You'll still be free to submit photos throughout the month of January, too, since waterfowl seasons are still open in much of the country at that time. Winners will be picked at the end of the month.

Thought I'd share a few pics from Kentucky this year. Been a pretty good early season. Limit of mallards, gadwalls and a teal from Ky. Lake. Two-man limit of gadwalls, buffleheads and a pintail. My buddy Tim with a pintail.

Select waterfowl entries will be posted in a photo essay the beginning of next month.

Thanks, Steve. We've put a lot of work into it, and it's an ongoing project. But it seems to be pretty popular so far!

Hey guys, here's a report from the southern Mississippi Flyway, as well as the Central and Pacific flyways. Scouted some myself on Kentucky Lake yesterday afternoon. A few divers and scattered puddle ducks around, but not much. I know a big push of soft ducks has already come and gone. Season opens tomorrow morning. http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/november-22-flyway-report

November 1 migration update Migration updates from the Central, Pacific and northern Mississippi flyways. What have you guys been seeing recently? Lots of "soft ducks" where I am in Kentucky--but we have nearly a month to go until opening day. http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/november-1-flyway-report

Guys, we've uploaded several new stories to the Rack Report this week. Tiffany Lakosky and Kandi Kisky both killed big deer in early October. There's also a story about a 211-incher from Illinois last season. More on the way this week, too--Ralph and Vicki shot two great bucks in North Dakota last week, and stories on those are in the works. Thought you might want to take a look! http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/rack-reports-map

You guys kill 'em in the Pacific Flyway, no doubt. California's always near the top of the pack in duck harvest each year. Should have some Pacific flyway reports coming soon.

Pretty good hunting reports from the northern Atlantic and Mississippi flyways. http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/october-18-flyway-report

Yes. Mule deer are fine to enter. We're not making anything too strict here--that's why we're calling it the "deer season" contest.

Hey guys and gals, be sure to check out some the Photo Contest entries from September--and submit your deer and waterfowl photos for October! http://www.realtree.com/hunting/articles-and-how-to/september-photo-contest-entries Submit your photos here: http://www.realtree.com/photo-contest-submission

No, you may make as many entries as you want. Only one prize per person, per contest, however.
