    "Non-Corporate" YouTube hunting channels

    To circle back to my thread, here's a few channels I enjoy - perhaps others will too. Mostly Western Canada / Northeast US. https://www.youtube.com/@comeoutheavyhunting https://www.youtube.com/@backcountrybcandbeyond (a bit of commercial influence, but still good)...

    Turkeys

    Running late, but here’s a spring turkey report from north of the border in Ontario. My 15 year old nephew took his first game of any kind by dropping this mature longbeard on opening morning (April 25). He held his nerve as this longbeard strutted in to our decoy setup - even waiting for the...

    Snake stories

    Reading this thread makes me relieved I live in the cold northern climes of Ontario. I do not like snakes. Thankfully we only have garter snakes, water snakes, and the occasional milk snake. We do have Massassauga rattlers in a few small areas of the province - I’ve seen one. Thankfully I...

    Bowhunting whitetails from the ground

    I bowhunt exclusively from the ground. I hunt areas with very rugged terrain in a thick cover big woods environment. This usually means I can use terrain to set up in an elevated position from where I expect to see deer, giving me many of the advantages associated with a tree stand. Aside...

    Best Trail Cam Pictures

    These two black bears couldn't have posed better if I had positioned them myself. They were having a "friendly" scrap on a oak ridge where I had a trail cam overlooking a primary scrape. This is a remote area several kilometers from the nearest road access.

    "Non-Corporate" YouTube hunting channels

    Like many here, I enjoy watching YouTube hunting channels. However, in recent years I've become pretty disillusioned with the ones that are clearly "killing for content" to drive the algorithm, satisfy their corporate sponsor masters, and pay their bills. I was wondering if folks could list...

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - belated 2025 edition

    The winner. This is quite a distance from where I hunt (40 ish km), but deer body sizes are obviously similar.

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - belated 2025 edition

    This year's deer hunting season was fundamentally different for me in that it didn't really happen at all. Nonetheless, here is the report from big woods north of the border. This area is classic Canadian big woods. High rocky ridges topped with red oaks, extensive lowland cedar swamps and...

    Montana Fish and Wildlife might like to know? Brutal behaviour by these clowns.

    Hunting, Technology, and a little Reflection

    https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/ep-596-easy-isnt-the-point-nmo-part-2/id1059853765?i=1000739895481 The latest Beyond the Kill podcast is an excellent conversation around the complexities of technology and hunting. This is something I've been increasingly thinking about in recent years...

    Sako 90 series and Kimber 84 M/L

    Greetings all. The new Sako 90 series has caught my eye - but I have yet to have the opportunity to see one "in the flesh". Hoping to rectify that in the near future. In the meantime was wondering if any Kimber owners out there had any feedback around the operation, ergonomics, etc. compared...

    The classic magnums - will they see a renaissance?

    I'm recovering from surgery and thus spending a lot more time browsing the information superhighway to keep sane. It's interesting to see how many 7mm Rem Mag and 300 Win Mag rifles are on the used market. Some combination of the aging hunters for whom those cartridges were the "go to" and...

    Gobble gobble Spring Turkey 2025

    Wild turkey report from north of the border. With foot surgery scheduled for May 7th (our season runs April 25 - May 31) I would have to be efficient with my time. In addition to hopefully filling my own tag I was committed to helping my 14 year old nephew harvest his first bird in his third...

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - 2024 edition

    100% agree on hunting fresh sign. Even then it is hard to get eyes on them between the rugged terrain and very thick cover.

    Tales from the Ontario Big Woods - 2024 edition

    You have to become ok with rarely actually seeing deer. Most days I see exactly zero deer.

    Chasing Elk - Opinions Sought

    My wife is also taking a semester off work and we have a couple shared trips planned as well. She is not a hunter, but is an avid hiker/climber/skier and we're likely heading to Patagonia and the Canadian Rockies together for a couple trips during our time off. I don't think I would have the $...

    Chasing Elk - Opinions Sought

    Appreciate the perspective and it is one that would make sense for most, but with my work schedule I pretty much have to push in the chips. There is no way I can hunt the west before 2027 and it would be 2031 (the next time I can hopefully afford another semester long unpaid leave) after that...

    Chasing Elk - Opinions Sought

    I'm a Canadian (Ontario) high school teacher planning to head to the western archery elk woods in Fall 2027. Why 2027? I'll be taking a semester off from work (only way long hunting trips are viable) so conceivably have the entire month of September to hunt. I'll be driving my F-150 out so...
