They Have The Passion Weekly - Whitetail Woods

I know it's still spring and everyone is chasing fish and turkeys but it's never to early to start thinking about this year's deer season, so this weeks Passion post features Rick from Whitetail Woods.

Rick's Muzzle Loader hunt to remember

Rick is a fellow Nutmegger who lives out my way and has a passion for those four legged critters and deer hunting.  If Rick isn't out hunting for deer, he is scouting for deer or preapring for the season.  He might be on the range or even on a stream chasing trout.  Rick has really taken a liking to blackpowder shooting and considers it "an important part of American history and tradition that should not be forgotten." and I have to agree with him.

Rick has been blogging since 2008 and always has great information related to shooting and blackpowder guns to share with his readers and when he is not sharing great information he might just be showing off his woodworking skills , some recipes or pictures from his trail cameras.

If you have an interest in shooting, blackpowder and deer hunting then stop on by Whitetail Woods and see what Rick has to offer.
