Earlier in the year I decided I'd changed my hunting style for the season. My goals were as follows: -Don't hunt the same stand twice -Don't hunt the same property twice in a week -No cams -No bait -Ultra scent control -Only hunt when the wind is right -Good note taking and journaling...

Back from a great trip to the Cowboy State (should be called the cow state). I learned a lot but I think we did well for a couple first time western hunters....and yes, I'm hooked! Before I go any farther I want to thank the guys and gals on this forum that have been so helpful in planning my...

Well just got home from my first Wyoming hunt. Think we did pretty good for a couple Ohio rookies. Public land DIY, Region Y mule deer tag and OTC lopes I'll post a good story for each tomorrow, but now I gotta sleep and get ready to cut some meat!

Headed to the Kaycee area on Monday. here's a few questions I thought of in the last few days. 1. How's the weather? I looked online and it looks like its gonna be a beautiful opening week of rifle. 2. I was watching an Eastman's video and I keep seeing it show them chamber a round. Is it...

My next open hunting season will be 2016. I'd like to hit Canada or Alaska for moose or caribou. Any suggestions. prefer DIY but I know that's an issue in AK. whatcha think?

I've started packing, piling, and setting aside all the things I need (and don't need for that matter) for my Wy Antelope/Mule deer hunt. I know I'm forgetting stuff so I figured I'd ask you guys- What are some things you forgot to pack or wish you would've brought? We will be spending 7 days...

So a few months ago I got my new Badlands Summit pack. It looked cool but I didn't really put it to use until this past week. I was carrying corn in for a buddy to his trail cam sights. 80# at a time we filled the pack and hiked about 1/4 mi. He has a physical disability so I offer to help him...

Antelope doe that is.....The buck tags went like hotcakes in unit 21. Will the doe tags go as quickly?

Buddy and I decided to pick up a cow elk tag for the trip too. Figured it's better to have it and eat than not have it and be covered in elk. We have region Y deer tags so we can hunt either unit. And unit 21 Lope tags but will prolly have them knocked out in the first day or two at most (from...

So I was down in NC chattin it up with my bear hunting buddies and they were telling me some tall tales of venomous bees. Story goes they kill rattlesnakes, very often-in fact we killed 2 the day I was around the house- and then the bees find the dead snakes and eat em. The venom from the snakes...

We drew for MD and Lope. If i'm reading the leftover list right, The deer doe tags don't come in regions, just units. Is that right? Secondly, there are a pile of leftover antelope buck tags in our unit. Can one hunter purchase two bucks tags? We will be in what is unit 34 for elk. There are...

So my friend and I ended up with region 21 Antelope and Region Y deer. We contacted a rancher prior to applying and got permission to hunt a pretty big private area and a few decent public spots. (I think that put us in unit 30 deer just to give an idea of reference). Im weighing the pros and...

As many of you know, recently I've been given the opportunity to test a lot of new products. These range from rests, broadheads, stands, camo, and a myriad of other hunting accessories. As I finish reviewing these products I'll post reviews of the good ones. The first one to pass the test Is...

Got some cool pics of a Carolina wren and nest. I saw this tree bent over while turkey hunting and decided to take a closer look. Gonna keep an eye on the nest for the hatchlings!

After a completely sucky hunt I wrote this this morning. I did about 3 dozen things wrong and still got a shot...and missed...twice. Saving Tom Longspur: The story of how a young policeman saved a turkey on the edge Every spring, thousands of wild turkeys suffer from a condition known as...

What does everyone keep in your camera bag for pics? I keep batteries, memory card, a shade, tripod, and lens cleaner. Anything else you guys carry in your bags for taking harvest/scenery photos?

And its as true today as it was when Regan said it then! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoeuh-EGj7s

Here is a story of part of my time in Africa hunting the mighty African Lion BOOOOOOOOOM! The distant sound of a single rifle shot echoed through the mopani forest; my heart sank a little. One of the beautiful Mopani Forests. If you look closely you can spot two bull Elephants squaring...

Eastmans Members- here is a article I wrote from my 2012 Bear Hunt with hounds. It was a great trip and I hope you enjoy reading. I wish I had better pictures but the wet conditions were more than my camera could handle! Normally on a mid October day I find myself up early, squeezing...
