Taking on a new area before the season starts can be extremely overwhelming.  Even if where you are scouting is somewhat familiar to you, it can still be tough.  Things change from year to year, whether it be availability of food or added hunting pressure.  Over the last few years though, I have come up […]

Every year it seems that a select few individuals are ALWAYS notching tags.  These people do this year in and year out.  It doesn’t matter if they are hunting black bears or elk, they get it done, no matter the circumstances.  How do they do it though?  I am sure this is a question we […]

The fact that I am even writing about this troubles me.  I think that it needs to be said though.  There should be no such thing as hunters vs. hunters, but sadly it is something that has definitely shown its face.  Why?  I haven’t got the foggiest.  Honestly, I don’t remember any of this from […]

In light of Born and Raised Outdoors’ new video, Expectations, being premiered at the Full Draw Film Tour this year, I thought it would be a perfect time to review their DVD entitled, Uncommon Ground.  This story follows 6 friends through an entire elk season, taking place in Oregon and Wyoming, during September, the month […]

I remember when I first heard about people actually working out for hunting.  I thought it was absolutely ridiculous.  All I knew about hunting was that you sat in a tree or on the ground and waited for a deer to walk by.  What is physically taxing about that and why in the world would […]

Not too long ago I asked the question,”What are your favorite hunting podcasts?” on social media and was surprised at the amount of feedback that I DIDN’T get from it.  I did get someone that answered and said that they had never listened to any hunting podcasts and if I had any recommendations.  Of course […]

If it wasn’t for my dad getting me into the outdoors all of those years ago, who knows if it would have caught me like it did.  Some people are just naturally drawn to hunting and fishing for one reason or the other, but it is my understanding that most of us were introduced by […]

Before I know it, hunting season is going to be here and I am going to be like a kid in a candy store.  There is truly nothing like being out on a hillside, at the mercy of mother nature, with my bow glassing for critters.  I wait all year for it.  I eat it, […]
