Join Us Raising Our New Child on “Driven Outdoors” with Nicole Reeve

Those memories that we made when I was a youngster helped shape my future and built really-strong ties to my family. If it weren’t for my family caring enough about me to make sure I had a good outdoor education and a good hunting education, I really believe I wouldn’t be able to do what I do today.

Clearing Up Your Dirty Title

If you're in the market to sell your land, you'll need to first consider the state of your title. The title is the binding document that states your property rights, and in some cases, there may be several actors who have ownership of a portion of your land. Without knowing the exact rights included in your title, you may not be able to transfer your land. That's why it's important to understand what makes a

Nicole Reeve on Putting Up With Her Husband Pat 24/7

I've always love to hunt. When I first started dating Pat, we enjoyed hunting together. We really enjoyed sitting in the woods in a tree stand for long periods of time with no one around but just us two. When we began filming together, we lost that special time in the tree that we enjoyed. Pat would take one cameraman with him, and I’d take a different cameraman with me. One day Pat said, “Why

The 2014/2015 was a crazy year for Pat and me both. We went to Alberta. As you read last week, Pat took a really-nice Shiras moose there.

I make no claims to be better at turkey hunting than the next guy and in reality I’m not. That’s why (for me anyway) when you pull off a zone 1 miracle it’s sweet.

I have had many hunts where

Pat Reeve and His Iowa Whitetail

In 2014, Nicole and I both drew Iowa late season muzzleloader whitetail deer tags for the southeastern zone of the state.

I was fortunate enough then to take a whitetail buck that scored 180 points Boone & Crockett.

Pat Reeve Explains When a Brown Bear Hunt Is More Than a Brown Bear Hunt

I decided to give up the entire month of November to go to Kodiak Island in Alaska to hunt brown bear with a bow. I wanted to hunt the brown bears fishing in the salmon streams. To my way of thinking, this is a classic brown bear hunt. I never had hunted Kodiak Island, yet I knew this island off the Alaskan Peninsula was where most of the giant brown bear were taken.

Understanding Food Plot Fertilizers

A food plot farmer needs to understand that a fertilizer recommendation is just a suggestion for the amount of (N) nitrogen, (P) phosphorus and (K) potassium that particular crop uses during a typical growing season under average conditions and a neutral pH. It is NOT necessarily the fertilizer you should be using! A soil test should be done to determine “your soil’s” pH and current nutrient load. These figures are used in union with what
