Bring on the Fall and bring on the hunting gear!!!

Who doesn’t love new gear?  Any chance I get, if it makes sense (and even sometimes if it doesn’t!), I love to make sure I’m loaded with improved gear just to give me that little edge or a bit more confidence while in the field.  This year over the course of the last couple months I’ve had the chance to trial a few items that I’ve never carried in the to field before.  So far they haven’t disappointed.  Continue Reading…

Since none of us would be here without a father, I figure I’d do all those fathers out there a solid and give you some gift ideas to make his Father’s Day one he’ll really appreciate.  Fortunately for you I started this project a little early so I can make some educated suggestions.  The following are products I’ve used and tested and would love if my kids get any of them for me.  Continue Reading…

Hunting seasons are in full swing with gift giving season just around the corner. I’ve compiled a list of various items sure to make any hunter happy this Christmas.

Don’t Let Social Media Have a Negative Impact on Your Life or Hunts! (image courtesy of wordstream.com)

What are you guy’s thoughts on social media?  Of course beings I have a website and several social media accounts, I’m not a hater.  At first (years ago now!) I was a little obstinate but after I had to get an account to see the pics of my kids my wife was posting I began to use it more and more.  Now I find it fairly useful, moderately entertaining, and with some verification slightly educational.   But even as social media continues to influence us more and more, I still have some reservations with it.

Random Hunter

During one trip to Colorado I was tucked back into some trees waiting for the elk to feed out into the open. As I waited this gentleman and his horse came passing by. He didn’t see me or I would have smiled and waived as he was enjoying his hunt just as I was.

You know what we need more of?  Participating in hunting in a way that fits your mold.  No one else’s.  If it makes you happy, is ethical, and legal…go for it.  Like big bucks?  Let the little ones walk.  Like meat in the freezer?  Shoot the first thing that comes by.  Prefer archery?  Get that stick and string out!  Come out once a year for the gun opener?  Have your orange ready and get after it.  We are all different and as hunters we should embrace that.  Continue Reading…
