Becoming the Dark sounds like a corny scary movie, but it is actually possible. I recently had the privilege of using the ATN ThoR LTV 640 3-9x thermal scope, and it really has opened my eyes to the realm of possible hunts and opportunities that I had never considered. I had a birthday delivery in late April that held inside an ATN ThoR LTV 640 3-9x thermal scope. I had an upcoming Axis hunt in Texas that allowed for a hog hunt, and the thermal scope provided me with an incredible chance to not only hunt at night but also record the experience. ATN ThoR LTV 640 3-9x Thermal Scope ..read more

My entire life I feel like I’ve had to prove myself as a female in the outdoor industry. I have heard the most ridiculous condescending comments which I’ll admit made me doubt myself at first. I didn’t have any girlfriends who enjoyed the same hobbies as me. Maybe I was different and being unique in high school makes anyone “weird.” I overheard another girl say one time, “She’s just doing that for attention.” I laughed to myself thinking about how much I hated attention and actually was embarrassed that my interests were so different than others my age during that time of my life.  ..read more

He’s a dirt bike kind of guy, and I thought, “No problem, I can do that. I can ride a dirt bike.” The first time I sat on the bike, he said do this and don’t do that. Go.  Go I went…right over backwards. The bike ended up on top of me and he had to pull it off.    I haven’t been on a bike since. He grew up riding bikes and it was second nature to him. He assumed those were skills everyone had, or at least had an understanding of. I had never needed to use a clutch or throttle before, and right when he said go, I let go of the clutch and twisted the throttle just as he had s ..read more

When I set out to tan my first hide I was completely clueless. I asked questions and researched the topic for at least a year before I even had a hide I wanted to save. When I finally took the tanning plunge I had already made so many mistakes with the saved hide that the fact the whole process actually worked for a hair-on deer hide still amazes me. It was an extremely nerve-racking process but it didn’t need to be. How I Tanned My First Hide This is how I tanned my first hide. Make sure to follow the instructions on your tanning kit in order to complete your own project! There are 3 ways you ..read more
