Hey guys and gals. It's been a while! Been around but since my dad passed a little over a year ago I have had a lot going on. Last year I didn't draw a general Elk tag which in reality ended up being a good thing with dad being sick and then passing close to Elk season. This year we...

Hello all!! It has been a while since I have posted. Long story short... Here in NC right before Elk Season we were hit here with two Hurricanes. We had 18-36 inches of rain from the second storm and quite a bit from the first. Anyway with the damages to my mothers house and damages to our...

Hey everyone. I have tried many different socks over the years. For the past 4 years I have strictly been wearing the Bridgedale Men's Merino Hiker Socks. By far the best boot socks I have tried. Give them a try you and your feet will really like them. They fit great and do not slip or stretch...

I have done a bunch of filming over the years but was never really satisfied with any of my cameras. I was finally able to put video setup together that I am happy with. Ended up getting a Canon XA35, Rode NGT1 mic and a Varizoom lance control for tripod or camera arm hunting.

Thought I would share the video of one of my Turkey hunts from this season with you. I have only Bowhunted Deer and Elk for the last 20+ years but had never Bowhunted turkeys. This was the first turkey I shot with the bow. Its a little long but thought I would share my mid afternoon hunt it with...

I have been seeing lots of turkey this winter!! Nice to watch them while deer hunting. Here is a group I watched for over a hour on one of our Chufa fields!! These are all decent gobblers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbDr9A2vrJA

After another year of preparation and training it was once again time to head to Montana to chase elk in the mountains. This is a pack in on your back pack out on your back hunt on public land. And at 55 now it seems to get a little tougher getting ready for the trip every year. I always wonder...

Hey gang it has been busy here but Progress is being made on the Money-Clip that was won by Jason. I am doing something new this year. I started 3d Printing back in November so I will be able to share a new process with you this year. The model for Jason's Elk artwork will be 3D Printed. The...

Hey everyone! We had a great Hunt this year and I was able to take quite a few photos and some video during the trip. I thought I would share a few pics a day as I go through them. We had temps from the high 20s to the low 80s during the two weeks so there is a wide range of photos. I hope...

So I go to Montana for a few weeks and after the first week I call home to talk with the wife. She tells me I should be at home hunting instead of out west?? I ask what do you mean? Well she says I was looking out the back door and see what I think is Cody (The neighbors large Black Lab) walking...

About six months ago I got some wise meals samples and just thought I would tell you what I think. I was skeptical at first but to my surprise they are really good. I think they are much better than the MT House meals. I just got my order in for this seasons hunts. I ordered mine from Amazon for...

Does anyone tend to slow down the more strenuous training a few weeks out from the season? I normally still do everything I normally do but just go a little lighter on the weights. Pack outs still at 70lbs. What is everyone's thoughts.

Hey guys I am new to digiscoping and would like to try it with my binos. I know my camera will work it is a Sony dsc-rx100III. My question is how would you mount it to the bino eye piece so it will stay. I made a fitting for the camera that holds the camera great and allows for zooming in and...

I was looking at the calender and time is flying by!! Right at 4 months before we hit the road again. It seems the older I get the faster things creep up on you. So whats everyone's plans for this up coming hunting season? Are there any changes to your gear or plans? I really haven't made a...

So far I have done 3-4 mile hikes with Spenco PolySorb Cross Trainer Insoles. Two hikes @ 60lbs and one @70lbs. Not a tremendous amount of elevation change maybe 150-180 ft in elevation change. They do require some trimming off the sides and toe areas of the boot as do most insoles to get a good...
