Something that I have grown to look forward to every year is the coming of new products from various companies in the hunting industry.  I am always so eager to see what these folks have been cooking up and how the new additions might fit into my gear list.  Our gear has come a long […]

When I was a kid, I always wanted a little brother.  I remember asking my parents for one throughout my childhood.  No matter how much I asked though, it just didn’t happen.  That was until one morning when I was 12 years old.  Just about to head out of the door to go to school, […]

Fall is Here Fall hunting seasons are just getting kicked off and it is an exciting time of year, to say the least.  The very moments we have been dreaming about and training for all year are about to present themselves.  Maybe, we will capitalize on them and maybe we won’t.  Time will deliver us […]

Earlier this year, I decided that I wanted to start looking at smaller, more lightweight options, in terms of backcountry gear.  I feel like I say this to myself every time I set off for a new adventure.  As the saying goes, “ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain.”  Right off of the bat, I […]

The next area I am going to cover on backcountry hunting is water and water filtration.  You cannot get through a backpack hunt without water, so this is not something to turn your nose up at. Why Water Filtration is Important When I was a kid, I remember longing to drink straight from a creek […]

“Never say never.”  We’ve all heard that a time or two.  I remember especially hearing this phrase as a kid.  Maybe it would come up during a rough football game on T.V.  Our team would be losing with very little time left and I would hear my Dad say, “never say never.”  Most times the […]

I feel like the only way for me to tell you why you need to consider hunting with a bow, is to tell you how I got hooked on it myself.  Let us begin! In the Beginning It wasn’t until around 15 years of age that the bow ended up snuggling its way into my […]

Food in the backcountry is one of those things that can both lift your spirit and your performance.  Having a nice hot meal at the end of a long day just plain makes me feel better.  When I might be feeling discouraged in the middle of the day, a cup of coffee just has a […]
