Ask Wired To Hunt: How Do I Find a Hunting Lease?
Mark Kenyon, Wired To Hunt
Apr 22, 2019
As many hunters can attest, acquiring hunting permission on private land is getting harder every year. The argument could be made that this is, in part, because of leasing. But an increasing number of hunters are deciding that if you can’t beat them, join them. Whether we like it or not, hunting leases are probably here to stay.
From the outside looking in, it seems that acquiring a hunting lease should be a breeze: if you have the money...

Ask Wired To Hunt: What’s Wrong With Hunting Trophy Bucks?
Mark Kenyon, Wired To Hunt
Apr 3, 2019
In today’s world of identity politics and serial tribalism, few things are as damning as a bad label. We all know what those sound like in the political sphere, but the same trend exists in the hunting world. Few labels are viewed with quite as much derision as “trophy hunter.”
This was brought to mind for me recently when reading a terrific article by Brody Henderson about shooting young bucks, in which he explored the disdain some hunters have...

Ask Wired To Hunt: How Can You Be a More Efficient Shed Hunter?
Mark Kenyon, Wired To Hunt
Feb 21, 2019
The best and worst shed hunting advice I ever received was, “just keep walking.” There’s a beautiful simplicity (and truth) to that maxim, but also dangerous deceit.
When I first began searching for shed antlers, I took this approach to heart and simply walked. As most beginning shed hunters do, I blindly traversed every square inch of every property I had access to. On occasion, I’d actually find an antler and it was a great rush. But the...

DIY Deer Hunter Profile: Andy May (Part One of Two)
Mark Kenyon, Wired To Hunt
Jan 30, 2018
Here on Wired To Hunt, Andy May owns the idea of assembling this great list of DIY hunter profiles. However, Andy neglected to include himself.
It was my idea, not Andy’s, to make him part of the DIY series. This is the main reason I respect him. Andy stays humble. Without prompting, Andy wouldn’t have written a self-profile in a million years. Don’t mistake his clear statements for any trace of arrogance. That decisiveness is part of his skill...

Hunting Mature Bucks During The Rut with Greg Miller
Mark Kenyon, Wired To Hunt
Nov 1, 2017
By Alex Comstock
THE. RUT. Those two words trigger thoughts of sheer happiness and dreams filled with big bucks for deer hunters. For most people, it’s their super bowl, and the time of the year we look forward to the most. With that in mind, I wanted to reach out to somebody who’s garnered success during the rut over the years to see what we could learn.

2017 Journal #2: My Alaskan Caribou Hunt (Photo Essay)
Mark Kenyon, Wired To Hunt
Sep 12, 2017
By Mark Kenyon
We circled the ridge-top twice in the tiny Super Cub airplane, swooped down for a landing on the small patch of flat ground off the side of the mountain, and then, at the last minute, pulled up hard and into a 180 degree turn. My heart skipped a beat, I gasped for breath and I held on tight.
And so went the rest of my week in Alaska chasing caribou with Steven Rinella and crew.
It was an experience of epic proportions ̵...

It’s late summer and that means one thing for me – some serious hunting season fever. Fortunately, for those of us really itching for some adventure, a handful of really great hunting films have all just recently dropped online. While most of these films are outside of the whitetail world, if you don’t get a kick out of these, you likely don’t have a pulse. I’m going to post all of these films up here...
