Hunting mature bucks is no easy task. These older, more experienced deer have spent years avoiding hunters and predators, making them highly elusive. To successfully harvest a mature buck, hunters need a solid game plan and the right combination of skill and patience. In this post, we’ll explore key...

When it comes to deer hunting, the rut is your best opportunity to catch a big buck moving around. The rut happens in the fall, and bucks are driven by testosterone, which skyrockets during this period. This hormone fuels their aggression and makes them focus entirely on finding does in heat. It’s ...

When it comes to deer hunting, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of tracking down a monster buck. It’s not just about the shot—it’s the entire experience of reading the land, spotting signs, and predicting movements. Every seasoned hunter knows that the woods are filled with clues, but recogniz...

Sighting in a deer rifle is an important process for any hunter. It involves adjusting the scope of a rifle to ensure that it is accurately aimed at a target. The process is critical for success in hunting, as even a slight miscalibration can lead to a missed shot or a wound that does not kill the a...

This might be the single most asked question on this website, and the honest answer is... it depends. Hunting is something that is passed down from generation to generation, little tricks added in from time to time—but nobody knows everything. If someone does, drop us a line. We'd surely love to s...

It was an early November Montana mule deer hunt at the start of the rut near the Missouri Breaks. The temperature was hovering around 13 degrees and dropping toward an overnight low prediction of -10. The sun was getting low. We had been glassing a basin below a confluence of drainage's in hopes of...

 You gently place the crosshairs in the exact spot your dad taught you to all those years ago. The adrenaline is building. This is it—the moment you have dreamed about. The excitement starts getting too much to handle. You take a deep breath in, let it out, and ever so slightly start the slow s...

I recently had the opportunity to test out the Grizzly Coolers 60 quart cooler.What first drew me to the cooler was the color: sea-foam green. They come in many colors, but this one was so vibrant and perfect for everyone, male and female alike! Both the handles and the two latches that hold the coo...

The most successful hunters begin their preparations now!  Hunting season is not just a fall activity. There is plenty of work to be put in once the season ends. From scouting, to food plots, and everything in between. The work is never over if you plan on harvesting an animal next season. Afte...

I absolutely love this recipe for the pure fact that I harvested the animal. It is always fun to cook up something you harvested. All the way from field to plate, I believe it makes it much more delicious! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! Ingredients 2 backstraps 2 cups butter milk or eno...

Over the Utah General Season Rifle Mule Deer Hunt I had the opportunity to try out the Cyclops 700 Lumen LED Flashlight from GSM Outdoors. It's a small flashlight that fits great into my pack. It also didn’t add any weight and the bright yellow end made it easy to find when I needed it. My exp...

I was recently given the chance to try out the Etymotic Gun Sport PRO Electronic Earplugs and I must say that I am impressed. First off the packaging is phenomenal. It comes with cleaning tools, filter tool, a bunch of different attachments to fit your ear, and best of all batteries. A ten pack of b...

Shed hunting has recently become more popular here in Utah. It is an easy way to get out and enjoy the outdoors but also find a little “white and brown gold”. Usually we start shed hunting late January and continue through the spring. Except for this year. This year there was a ban placed on the ent...

As hunting season commences, we are taking all our hard work and prep over the summer and finally putting it to use. At this month’s Backcountry Hunters and Anglers meeting, we had Native New Mexican and biologist Don DeLorenzo share his knowledge of processing game meat. Depending on what you are ...

When we think about prepping for a hunt, many times we are thinking about what we need for the upcoming hunt--what gear we need to take, what kind of meal plans, who may be bringing what when planning a group hunting trip. But how many of us remember to prep ourselves? Many of us make new year’s re...

Well after two weeks of Turkey hunting here in New Mexico, it looks like it is “tag soup” for me as far as spring turkey goes. Despite being one of the many hunters out there that had the same unlucky results, it was still a great adventure and learning experience. As I mentioned in a previous blog,...

As hunters, we are forever the students. When we start out, many of us are often introduced by family or friends. Some of us may have started out as young children, and others later in life. Regardless of how we fell into hunting, the fact is we never stop learning. We read articles, watch the o...

If any of you are considering New Mexico for hunting, you’re probably like me right now—a kid at Christmas making out a wish list of what the NM Draw is going to bring, hoping that their selection is granted come the draw results. New Mexico is one of those states that does not work off a point s...

So many of us make New Years resolutions, and as many of us by the end of January or shortly after, have already broken them. This chart lists some of the most common resolutions made for just this year. Now with this being said… I would like to point out that even if you aren’t as successful in ...

As a hunter, I know how important it can be to do our homework for our hunts and to have the proper tools to do so. We live in a world full of technology…and while yes, we run off to the woods to get away from it all, our phones still follow many times. Phones are no longer just a phone after all. ...

We've worked hard and put in a lot of hours on this app. It might not be perfect, but we think it's pretty close. Every time we thought we were done, another feature popped into our heads and we added that. After hearing that a hunter had been lost in the woods for days, unable to make it back t...
