The Antler Drop is On
Just a week ago I penned a quick article debating when we should begin shed antler hunting. We took several factors into consideration and painted a broad window of opportunity for eager shed hunters to attack. We're now firmly seated within that window of opportunity and we can confirm that the antler drop is on. Now, before you head off to the field we should preface everything by saying that things will vary greatly from region to region. Something that I tried to reiterat

When Should You Start Shed Hunting?
We have landed in mid-February, and that can mean but one thing for bored deer hunters. We are collectively chomping at the bit to begin hunting for white gold, or antlers that have dropped from the heads of whitetail deer. Shed antler hunting has become a huge hit for modern outdoorsmen and women. Beyond the fact that deer antlers are just plain cool, you can actually pick up on a ton of critical information by collecting shed antlers. When a big buck drops an antler in a gi

It's Time to Kill a Coyote
We have officially arrived at a transition period on the outdoor sporting calendar. Deer season is out just about everywhere and turkey and fishing seasons are still pretty distant. Shed antler hunting season can be a thing in some areas, but it's still a bit early. What is an outdoorsman to do? Kill a coyote. Or two. Maybe even 20, if you can manage. In an era of hunting where it seems like you have to obtain a PhD to pull the trigger on the proper animal, you really cannot

Taking Inventory | End of Deer Season
No hunter enjoys watching the beloved deer hunting season come to an end. Even during those excruciatingly tough seasons that just don't go your way, there is always a sense of disappointment when the season closes out. If you're anything like us, you spend months on end getting ready for the season. Doing anything you can to pass the time until you can get back in the field. As long as the season takes to get here, it leaves us twice as fast. This is the life of a deer hunte

The Final Countdown | Deer Hunting
Cue Europe's famous hit and get ready, because it's officially the final countdown. Deer season is ticking to a close in most states and provinces across North America. In fact, many seasons are closed until the insanely distant but upcoming fall of 2019. Let us have a moment of silence for those who will be waiting until September or October to climb back up a tree again. For those of us who still have a small window of opportunity, it's now or never. You can continue prepar

It's Time for the Late-Season Struggle
The late-season struggle is upon us. Nasty weather, slow hunting, and depleted deer herds are synonymous with late-season whitetail hunting. If you were to poll 10 deer hunters on their favorite time of the season to hunt, you can almost bet that a vast majority would list another phase of the season as their favorite. Late-season hunting is definitely not easy, but it's also far from a lost cause. You just have to be invested in late-season success to taste it. There's a rea

Welcome to 'Deercember'
Photo by Larry Ditto/Larry Ditto Photography It feels like it was just yesterday that we flipped the calendar to September with high anticipation. Drilling down on all of the last-minute keys to get ready for the early-season. Somehow we are now several days into December, and we can confirm that time does fly. For those that have been fortunate enough to fill a tag or multiple tags this season, it feels like we're about ready to flip the calendar to the off-season. Yet we're
