Trying to be invisible. Quietly sneaking through the woods, waiting, listening, and observing. Meticulously searching the forest with your eyes for a flicker of movement or a fraction of a silhouette. This is the essence of still hunting.
In this episode, I am joined by my hunting mentor, Geoff Horsfield. Geoff taught me how to hunt. Geoff is a master still hunter, and I can still remember our first hunt together 35 years ago where he showed me how to sneak up on a whitetail. Geoff and I are warming up by the wood heater in the wall tent after successful day of Whitetail hun ..read more

All these factor into our decision-making process for planning our 2023 pack rafting adventure.
We discuss the pros and cons of hunting the three-point season versus the six-point season here in British Columbia.
Our evaluation and decision-making paid off, and we share a fantastic sto ..read more

In this episode, we're talking elk. More specifically, we're talking elk calling. I've asked Bill Ayer of Slayer Calls to come join me and talk about innovations in elk calls to help make elk calling a little bit more accessible.
I found Slayer calls because I was looking for an alternative to help me improve my elk callling technique. I have always opted to go with external tube and handheld calls that produce consistent elk sounds, and I rely more on my setup for my success than my calling prowess. I have always struggled to get consistant result from a reed call.
Bill shares the benifits an ..read more

He is dedicated and passionate about chasing Blacktail deer near his home. He has been the most consistently successful blacktail hunter in my communit ..read more
