I’m not getting any younger, and there are many hunts I have not tried. My friends and I are typically DIY. I am looking for any ideas of fun hunts that maybe I have not thought of or tried yet, maybe even a combo hunt with more than one species? Bow, rifle, muzzleloader, doesn’t matter...
Finding what can be legally mounted to one’s bow in AZ has not been easy. I have a camera mounted on my riser to record my shot and hopefully some of my hunt as well. I know back a few years in states like CO you could not have any battery operated equipment on your bow, Co has lightened up a...

I am wanting to get a good bear rug that has not gotten too rubbed up yet but since I will likely only have 5-7 days to hunt I am hesitant to start right at the opener when many bears might not be out and about yet. There is also the possibility of deep snow in places. Waiting too late and they...
