For those of us that do not own land to hunt, our options are generally limited to hunting public land, hunting on a friend or family-owned land, or leasing hunting property. When I first started hunting, land was fairly easy to come by. I remember my Dad getting frustrated when we wouldn’t be able to hunt parcels of land that we had hunted on for years because someone had now leased the property. That land is now closed off with “No Trespassing” signs. My Dad would always say, “I feel it is my God-given right to hunt, and I will never pay a dime to hunt someone’s property.”  While that s ..read more

Most deer will yield at least 30 pounds of high-quality venison with some topping the 50-pound meat yield mark.

Throw in waterfowl from the winter, maybe a few wild hogs, and your western elk and your bound to have more meat than a family of five will consume in a year.    ..read more
