Party boat fishing is not what you think about going out on a PARTY boat to drink the night away but rather a way to more economically head out fishing. The party part of the party boat fishing is that you reserve a spot, or multiple spots, on a large boat and head out. I went with Galveston Party Boats in May. Galveston Party Boats goes out 5-7 miles into the Galveston Bay from the dock. The cost of the 4-hour bay and jetty trip is $35 for fishing adults. That includes your fishing rod, squid, and a stringer for your fish. The deckhands also will take your fish off the hook, bring y ..read more

I’m going to tell you a secret… I shop for my archery gear at both my local archery shop and the major retailers. There’s something magical about walking into a Cabela’s or Bass Pro Shops. They make shopping for outdoor equipment and turn it into a full-on experience. If you close your eyes, I bet you can picture the giant bull elk you see when you walk in.  Usually, I shop for archery gear at the big box stores when I’m headed in for something specific and I don’t need assistance or advice. Big retailers are more likely to offer a sale or discount for members on their products. Plus, you ..read more

Eat sh*t that grows. Eat fresh foods. That is all. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. No, but really. If we want our bodies and minds to function properly we have to consume fresh food. I am not here to shame anyone on what they eat. I’m a lover of Graeter’s ice cream and believe all things butterscotch flavored should be considered a world wonder. However, I do believe in the ability to recognize what is real food so you can be empowered to fill your body up with foods that not only make you feel good but also energize you. Then you can keep doing all those outdoor activities you love so mu ..read more

Spot and stalk deer hunting is a popular method for many hunters. It involves spotting a deer from a distance and then stalking it on foot to get within range for a shot. This method requires patience, skill, and knowledge of the deer's behavior and habitat. Growing up, hunts consisted of run and gun, a dog chase, or spot and stalk. Today, hunting whitetail deer is a little less challenging than a complete spot and stalk because whitetails are hard to hunt like this. It’s more of slipping into a blind, climbing in a tree, or sitting in a shooting house. Not so much spot and stalk unless it’s f ..read more

If you're looking for a Wicked Edge Knife Sharpener review, we've got you covered! We plan several hunts each year. There are usually a handful of people in camp and we are almost always successful. This leaves us a lot of meat to butcher and it's essential to have sharp knives in the field and the kitchen. But wear and tear throughout the year abuses our hunting and butchering knives. It is nice to be able to give them an edge that works and lasts instead of temporary sharpness from a pocket sharpener that costs five bucks from your local sporting goods store. You'll do much better with ..read more
