Hunting

Psychological peace can be found in many places; the side of a mountain, the bottom of the ocean, even in your own garage. So, how can a place that holds the most gear, tools, and stuff provide any sense of mental clarity? Thoughtful organization. I like to keep items handy that make it out on every...

In this video, I’ll demonstrate how to score a mule deer buck. The main difference between scoring a whitetail and a muley is how you handle the tines. You’ll begin by measuring both main beams, all tines, four circumferences, and adding those numbers up. The last measurement you’ll take is the...

As antler-obsessed humans, we usually look at pointy beams with awe and excitement. Rarely do we consider their potential for destruction. That is, until we come face-to-face with with an strong-willed animal like Tyler and Sheena Terryberry of Parshall, Colorado, did during a morning drive on Jan...

Search & Rescue (SAR) teams are on call 24 hours a day to help get hunters, hikers, and other outdoors explorers out of tight spots. Many SAR missions could be avoided or made easier with a little preparation by those who might need rescuing. In that spirit, Sydney Lear, a SAR instructor with the...

Typha is a Linnaean genus containing some 30 species of rhizomatous semi-aquatic plants, the most common of which are known to you and me as reeds, bulrushes, tulies, and cattails. They’re pretty much synonymous with wetlands and the waterfowl hunting that occurs among them. The waterfowl team at...

If you are what you eat, then I am mostly snowshoe hare. Or at least I was while living in the frozen wilderness of the Northwest Territories on Season 7 of the History Channel's show "Alone." Snowshoe hares are good eating,, and they taste even better cooked over an open fire with the smell of wood...

It happens every year and seems to happen more now than ever: A warm spell hits, and there’s just no way to get under the ducks. In fact, November 2020 was the warmest month in 142 years of Earth’s records, and November 2021 was the seventh warmest on record in the United States. These aren’t...

“In nature nothing is wasted; everything is recycled.” The famous quote from scientist David Suzuki is on full display in this educational video. It only takes five days for the forest to turn this roadkilled fawn into a pile of bones. If the camera would have stayed there a bit longer, we would...

Duck hunters have a romance about snowstorms that most other hunters don’t share. If you ask a duck hunter what some of their favorite conditions are, they’ll almost unanimously love blizzards. The reason for this is because snowstorms invoke a level of urgency in waterfowl that you don’t see very...

After recently missing a shot on a black bear hunt with Clay Newcomb, I wanted to determine if shooting off a bipod or a pack is more accurate. I had my rifle dialed in for the hunt but didn’t have the time to set my bipod up, so I took the shot off my pack and missed low. To test the difference...
