Mark Hanson’s Best Coues Deer

The biggest Coues (whitetail) buck I've ever taken was a buck that scored 90 inches. I grew up back in the East, and I was well acquainted with hunting whitetails from a tree stand. Especially in the early archery season, I prefer to hunt from a tree stand. On this day, I was about 30 minutes late leaving town for my hunt. Once I reached the area I planned to hunt, I knew I had

Mark Hanson’s Biggest Muley

Just as the sun was starting to go down in the evening, I had 14 mule deer below me, including two, small 4-pointers and one bigger buck with heavy horns. I shot the 3x5 with my bow. The time was late when I got him out of the mountains and back to camp.

An Elk for Henry

I wanted to help Henry look for a bull and call one in for him. Henry was fairly new to elk hunting, and was even less experienced in archery hunting for elk. Henry wasn’t particular about having to take a monster bull. I knew some smaller bulls were in the area where I’d taken my bull elk six days earlier. As soon as we reached the place where I’d taken my elk, I started cow

My Latest Bull with Pro Mark Hanson

The last bull elk I shot was in 2014, also in Unit 27. Our elk season that year opened on a Friday, and it rained solid from Friday morning until Tuesday afternoon. I got cabin fever really bad and couldn’t stand being in my camper all that time.

Hunt Early. Go West.

Many western states have archery hunts for elk, mule deer and whitetails that begin from mid-August through September. While many easterners are riding the waves and getting suntans at the beach, western archers are climbing mountains or hunting from tree stands. Mossy Oak Pro Mark Hanson lives in Mesa, Arizona, and starts bowhunting not far from his home as soon as the season opens in Colorado.

The Game Day Mule Deer Buck

I took my best mule deer buck this past season in Colorado. I climbed two miles into an area that I wanted to hunt. A lot people were hunting where I generally hunted for mule deer in Colorado, and I wanted to get away from all these people. To do that, I knew that I had to hike farther and climb higher. Over the years, I've learned that once hunters start hunting a section of

New Full Season Taktix is ScentLok's Best Whitetail Hunting Clothing Ever

Being winded by a whitetail's supernatural snout is the cause of most unfilled deer tags.

Brian Mosley’s After School Bull Elk

I was hunting in the unit closest to my house after football practice. A friend of mine who is a guide told me that he had seen a big bull in a certain area of this unit. So when I got to the spot where the guide told me he’d seen this bull, I sat next to a big tree and started cow calling.

Train to Hunt Competitions Have Paid Off

I had planned a hunt in Colorado with my 15-year-old son Kenyon, who had a deer tag. I had an elk tag. Prior to this hunt, I realized I might have to help carry out an elk and a mule deer if Kenyon took one. So, I wanted to be in the best shape possible.
