Something that I looked forward to every year, when I was a kid, was when my dad and I would make our annual trip up to deer camp.  The key word there is “up.”  Our deer camp was located at 9800 ft. on top of a mountain.  What a beautiful area.  I didn’t even know […]

If you’ve been following along with me for the past few years, then you know how much of a bear nut I am.  Last year I wrote a story called Canyon Bruins, which took you along the epic journey that was my 2015 season.  If you read that story then you know that is when […]

I’ve decided to do something a bit different for this post then previous ones that went over my hunts.  On this trip, I actually kept a journal while out in the field and I think it turned out pretty neat.  I might end up doing this a lot more in the future, just because of […]

Finding a good hunting partner can sometimes be just as difficult, if not more difficult than hunting itself.  A lot of things have to lineup between two people in order for it to work.  This became all too apparent when I really got into all of this.  Up until a certain point, I had always […]

If you are an archer/bowhunter, then you know the feeling of watching your arrow cut through the air and land right where you want it to.  It’s a soothing feeling and, for myself, has become somewhat of an addiction.  Achieving the accuracy that you strive for doesn’t come free of charge though.  It takes much […]

The Secrets to Archery Accuracy

This is an exciting time of year for us hunters.  The early archery seasons are right around the corner and some have already started.  Soon after that we will take to the mountains in search of bugling bulls followed up by the fall deer and bear seasons.  It’s a busy time to say the least […]

What if I told you that you could get a bomber pack capable of handling as much weight as you could pick up, carry that weight extremely well, AND come in at a mere 4 lbs 14 oz?  Sound too good to be true?  Surely, there must be some give and take or sacrifice happening […]

Let’s face it.  Bowhunting can be and is an extremely difficult endeavor.  It doesn’t matter if you are an expert or a beginner, life with the bow constantly challenges us.  My biggest hurdle when I started out, and now for that matter, is getting close enough for a shot.  This is why we hunt with […]

Javelina: Tailor Made for the Western Bowhunter

If you asked me a few years ago if I would be investing the money that I do now in high quality hunting clothing, I probably would have laughed at you.  I was indeed a skeptic of these higher end purchases and honestly didn’t see the reasoning behind why someone would pay $100 for a […]
