Mossy Oak Yazoo Rifle Case in Blaze

It is getting to be that time when you pull out the rifles and start shooting as part of your prep for hunting season, which is just right around the corner. Your rifle and scope are most likely your greatest investment as it relates to your hunting equipment. Too often I see these really nice rifles in a gun case that is not well constructed. I often scratch my head when I see this. While

Pat and Nicole Reeve Double Down On Saskatchewan Bucks in the Fall of 2013

One of our favorite places to whitetail hunt is Buck Paradise Outfitters in Saskatchewan Canada, operated by Grant and Shelly Kuypers. We also took Mike Jahnke on the hunt with us. He was going with Brian Limpkey to film for him, and Pat and I planned to hunt together and film each other. About 9:00 am, a big 9-point buck came in with chocolate-colored horns, 23 yards from our blind.

Best Bow Practice

Repetition is the key. Keep simulating hunts all summer, shooting over and over at foam deer beneath your perch. When archery season rolls around, the act of shooting an incoming buck will be instinctive, and that’s exactly what you want.

Whitetail Mineral Site Establishment 101

Creating new mineral sites can be especially exciting when you have a new piece of ground to investigate and see what deer are living there and what the potential of the area is. Refreshing old mineral sites or creating new ones is also a good family and kid friendly management activity.

Nicole Reeve Bowhunts Musk Ox On Top Of the World in the Spring of 2014

At this time of the year, our Inuit guides were searching for musk ox on snowmobiles. We knew that when musk ox felt threatened, they would get in a defensive circle. Often their hindquarters would be touching each other, and their heads facing out of the circle. The bigger musk ox would try to huddle around the smaller musk ox. Since I was hunting with a bow and arrow, I had to get in close

Why financing land is a good thing

Financing is often the only way people can purchase expensive things. Instead of having to pay $30,000 on the spot for a car, a person will finance the purchase, allowing them to make payments over a long period of time. And finally, after all the payments have been made, the vehicle is theirs. Those buying land are offered the same advantages. Where they would otherwise be unable to afford a tract of land, financing makes

Jim Shockey - Where I'm Going and What I Plan to Do When I Get There

I think our hunting goals evolve as we get older, and an adventure takes on a different meaning. When I'm 80, adventure may be hiking out to the back of our 40-acre ranch in Saskatchewan, Canada, and trying to take a big deer. My concept of adventure is that anytime you leave the asphalt, step into the woods, climb up the mountains and go down into the valleys of the wild lands, you're having an
