The
blog

Since I dove down the rabbit hole that is my hunting blog and creating content in general, a constant question that lands itself in my inbox is how one goes about starting to do these things.  The simple answer to this is to take a page out of Nike’s book and “JUST DO IT.”  However, […]

The term “OTC Tags” is one that is growing more popular everyday in the hunting community.  For those of you that don’t know what that stands for, it means “over the counter.”  It is getting increasingly harder to draw tags through lottery systems.  I don’t think it is going to start heading in the other […]

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 […]

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 […]

It seems that every backpack hunt or backpacking trip I go on, I am trying to figure out how to lighten the weight of my pack.  There was a time when I would bring things just to bring them, and quite honestly, I probably still do it some.  Over the years though, I’ve gotten more […]

If you’ve spent any great deal of time looking into new gear for your backpack hunting endeavors, I’d be hard pressed if you didn’t cringe a little bit every now and again at the prices of some of these items.  I know I used to do it a ton, when I was first looking into […]

Alright, so it’s been awhile since we’ve chatted about one of my favorite kinds of media to consume and that’s podcasts.  I thought I’d put together a list of what I am looking forward to listening to in 2017.  These aren’t in any particular order, so if a podcast is at the bottom of the […]
