Welcome to Whitetail Wizard’s Blog
MEET CLAUDE POLLINGTON, THE WHITETAIL WIZARD
Hi, my name is Claude Pollington and my daily weblog will provide hunters with some great information on bows, hunting, and the many things I have done to make bow hunting easier and more fun for a very large cross-section of the hunting world.
Click on Whitetail Wizard for my daily weblog. It will cover a wide variety of bow hunting topics, and I would hope that after you read several days of my copy, you will tell your friends, neighbors and relatives about my site.
I’ve always been a bit of a maverick when it comes to bow hunting for whitetails. I’ve learned to trust my gut instincts while hunting, and some of my findings may fly in the fact of what other hunters believe.
C. P. Oneida Eagle Bow Company is my company, and for the past several years we’ve worked hard to develop new bows that feature a smooth draw curve, fast arrow speed, and are easy and quiet to shoot.
I live in Marion, Michigan, 15 miles southeast of Cadillac in the Lower Peninsula. We opened up my Buck Pole Archery Shop many years ago just before it became the largest selling Oneida dealership in North America. I also own 1,000 acres of the finest deer range in the state, and about 900 acres of this land is under high fence.
My hobby is studying deer, and the best way to do so is to have enough land under fence where deer will behave as they would in the wild. We offer trophy deer hunts, and they are listed on our Buck Pole website.
This weblog is an offshoot to the archery business. I’ve had countless requests for more detailed information about deer hunting, and decided a daily weblog is the best way to do it. A weblog is a daily journal of what I see, what I think, what I do, what I feel, etc. If this were a newspaper rather that an internet weblog, this would be similar to a daily newspaper column. The difference here is my webblog is free.
Some weblogs will be long, some will be short, but all will be informative and provide readers with things they really should know about deer behavior and hunting methods that work.
I have been into archery development since 1982 when I began selling Oneida Eagle bows. However, long before that, I was an avid archer with many magazine and newspaper columns written about me.
In 1980, Outdoor Life, in a feature story by David Richey, called me “The Whitetail Wizard.” The name has stuck for all these years, and people still come into my archery shop to ask for me by that name.
Studying whitetail behavior is my passion. That, and developing what many hunters feel are the finest made compound bows in the world. My latest “The Extreme” is a fine example of the bowyer’s art.
My goal is to make every person who visits my store a better archery shot, and I strive to make a novice bow hunter successful on their first hunt. Obviously, how hunters shoot a bow will determine accuracy. People who follow my easy steps become successful hunters.
It is my intention to make this blog successful. Each day readers will learn something more about hunting deer. There will be stories of some of my hunts, fun things to read about bow hunting, tips and tricks I used to out-wit whitetail deer, and some of the many observations I’ve made over nearly 60 years of hunting with a bow and arrow.
Place my weblog address in your Favorites list, and check me out every day. Most of my weblogs will be illustrated with a color photo, and it’s my intention to make this weblog fun and interesting for you.
Click on my weblog every day. There will be new copy on this site on a daily basis, and anyone who reads it will learn something new.
And, if you are in the neighborhood, feel free stop in and visit. We are located at 20669 30th Avenue (highway M-66) about one-half mile north of the Marion blinker light on the west side of the road.
Hope to see you on the hunting trail. - Claude Pollington
