    Midday Hunting

    I think a lot of different tactics can lead to a successful midday hunt. Sitting on a water hole or wallow always has the possibility of producing elk. Something I tried last year was just doing several calling set ups on a north facing slope that holds elk. I would call on and off for about...

    Training for the upcoming hunting season! What motivates you?

    Just the thought of hunting in general. There is always something gearing around in my head about hunting and how am I going to be the best I can be if I'm not at top condition?

    Bucklite Knives

    Have you guys heard of Kestrel knives? To pricey for me but some might be interested in them. I believe the guy worked with Jason Hairston (Kuiu) to develop them. I believe they've got a skeleton knife coming in at .59 ounces with their lightest sheath. http://www.kestrelknives.com/products/...
