How To Lighten Your Load

I’ve heard of sheep hunters cutting the tags off their clothing to save weight. That’s a bit extreme in my opinion, but there’s no doubt that being ounce-stingy when backpacking or mountain hunting pays dividends.

Hypoxia in High Elk Country

You need to be aware of the dangers of hunting high in elk country. Altitude might not bother a hunter on nine trips, and on the tenth – for no apparent reason – it can come crashing in like Hurricane Katrina. I’ve dealt with mild altitude sickness and splitting headaches in the past. But last week, in Colorado, I had my first real brush with hypoxia.

Fish Year-Round by Flippin’

I’ve caught a lot of fish, a lot of different ways, and in a lot of different conditions. However, one of my favorite ways to catch bigger bass is to flip Texas-rigged baits into heavy cover. Flippin’ is a method that can be fished year round and is effective all around the country.

3 Reasons to Plant Trees in the Fall

It’s now possible to plant trees with success any time of the year. Generally speaking, the traditional planting time for folks in the South is February through mid-March, and folks up North have to wait for the ground to thaw in the spring.
