Hey, guys! I’ve been knee-deep in scouting season over here, getting prepared for the 2026 Fall bear hunt in Arizona. Absolutely jacked and cannot wait to dive in. The bow is shooting great; we’ve been scouting for bears and finding some real choice areas for us to focus on come season.
Down below is another scouting video. This brings you along with my hunting partner Garrett and I as we check out a few areas I’m familiar with. Both look promising in both feed and topography. I show you why I like what I’m seeing, what I’m looking out for, and navigating the mental side of bear hunting in Arizona. Hope you like! Hit SUBSCRIBE if you do!
Hey, guys! Been super busy between summer activities with the fam, scouting, and getting this new bow ready to rock for season. So excited to kick things off with August bear hunting here in Arizona.
In light of that, I’ve been doing a lot of scouting and filming those adventures in the process. I think these are great transparent videos that would especially be good for beginners to see. Sometimes, you find what you’re looking for and other times you don’t. That’s all part of the process.
Down below are two new scouting videos from the past month. Really hope you all enjoy. More to come!
When the temps start to rise here in Arizona after spring has sprung, one thing instantly hits my mind, and that is the thought of Fall Bear Season. Our first Fall season here in Arizona starts in August and I usually begin scouting for this during the month of June. The goals with these trips isn’t necessarily to see bears, if I’m being honest. The perfect scenario for me is finding sign of current bears, as well as finding future food sources to hold them there. In this case, I’m referring to foods that aren’t ready to eat yet, but they will be ready to eat come August.
You just got a new bow and you’re excited as ever. Already, you’ve been to the range and gotten it all sighted in. And now, it’s time to actually go hunting. We need to break in a new bow, and down below, I’m going to break down my process.
The west is a diverse place to hunt with varying landscapes. From desert flats to dark timber. So when it comes to binoculars, you need something that can do it all. Down below I’m going to dive into what I believe is the most versatile binocular for western hunting as a whole. I can still hunt with them in the timber as well as glass miles of country from a tripod.
Spring bear seasons are RIGHT around the corner as I’m writing this! I’m so stoked for another year of spring bear hunting. In light of that, each and every year at this time, I start getting a ton of messages about bear hunting. So, in order to provide a bit of help, I made a video dedicated to the topic. Down below I dive into some of the most key things you need to know in order to be successful spring bear hunting. If you’re new to bear hunting, this is going to be extremely helpful to you!
Earlier in 2025, I did a video going over my 2025 Arrow Setup. Now that 2025 is nearing its close, I wanted to touch base on how everything worked. In short, things worked out fantastically, but I will be making ONE minor change. Here, I want to tell you why and why this will also be my arrow setup going into 2026.
First and foremost, Merry Christmas! It’s December 23rd as I sit here and write this. My house is decorated, there are presents under the tree, and my 5 year old daughter is doing everything she can to stay on the nice list, haha. Aside from that, I wanted to share my latest hunting film with you. It’s about hunting bull elk in Arizona with a bow and I think you’ll really enjoy it!
To skimp on hunting boots is to skimp on your hunt. I’ve had quite a few instances where doing so bit me in the rear end and even ended my hunt altogether. Since those days of old, when I was young and knew everything, I’ve changed my ways for the better. Boots are now one of the highest priorities, in terms of gear, for my hunting trips. As of late, I’ve been putting some of my trust into the Crispi Lapponia III. My trust is growing with each outing.
2025 came with no shortage of gear testing. From the mountains to the desert, I got the opportunity to put equipment through the paces. Throughout that time, there were some standouts that I find myself continuously reaching for. This is what I want to share with you today!
These are in no particular order. Some of them are new for 2025, and some of them honestly just even more solidified their place within my system.
