The crew got this 2024 Coues deer hunt turned around in quick fashion. Those of you subscribing to FT+ already saw this two-part series.
I used up all of my draw luck in 2023 for a late season Coues tag; first time I ever drew my first choice on a deer application. In 2024, it was back to my...
In our 4th of 5 episodes in the idea of handing Federal lands to State Land Boards, we talk about the impact on recreational shooting. Rec shooters stand to lose more than most any other group, yet not a peep from the groups claiming to represent gun owners and shooters. They can't say they...
In Part 3 of our 5 episode series on states and privateers trying to wrest our public lands, we explore how the problems and frustrations with Federal Land Management can be traced right back to Congress. Many of the people claiming Federal lands are managed poorly are the ones with power to...
This hunt was December, 2023. It's been out on Fresh Tracks+ for many months. Today, it hit YouTube.
This is the first time in all my years of applying for deer in Arizona that I drew my first choice. I always make my first choice an unlikely possibility for whatever point total I have, using...
This is another of our videos to try give more information about the effort to liquidate and privatize our Federal lands. This one explains State Land Boards, their history, how they operate, and why State Land Boards are the chosen conduit for the groups wanting to see your Federal lands...
Marcus drew a Wyoming elk tag in 2023 that hit a lot of storylines we’ve had on the “story list” that drives what tags we apply for. It was the first year of this season, so we had no idea how it would turn out.
Very few tags, targeting bulls that leave the feedgrounds and hammer haystacks...
A Wyoming second choice Whitetail tag resulted in one of the shortest hunts we’ve ever filmed. Lots of fun for a short hunt.
The Quickest Deer Hunt EVER? | Wyoming Whitetail BUCK DOWN!
It's taken some time for me to get to this project, but it has been on my list for a couple years. Given many Montana elected officials have decided it's time to attack conservation easements in Montana, I made it a priority to get this one done. Thanks to Jennifer and Kendall for joining me...
Many in my family have asked me to write a book. I like to write. I share stories with family members to hopefully make them laugh and remember how much fun we had, even though we didn't have any money.
This is one of those. I think the statute of limitations has passed, so I am copying it here...
2024 was one of our best seasons ever. Some years you work your butt off, and you think you deserved more. Some years, it just falls in your lap, and you almost feel guilty for how well it worked out relative to the effort expended. Such was 2024.
A few have asked about our season. I was on the...
Those of you who subscribe to Fresh Tracks+ saw these episodes not long after we got home. This week, they start rolling out on YouTube.
If you want to read the play-by-play and have a spoiler, here is the thread I posted on Hunt Talk -...
Today is a day of Thanks. A reminder of all we have in great abundance in this country. Our family has so much to be grateful for, from our health, to our family and friends, to the many freedoms we enjoy as the result of the service and sacrifice of so many.
I am thankful for all of you and...
'Tis the season of discounts. We always tell people to not pay full retail. Well, between now and November 30, 2024, Kenetrek is having its big fall discount sale where boots are anywhere from 20-50% off.
If you want to get a free pair of hunting gaiters, in addition to big savings on some...
As part of my morning coffee I usually spend 1-2 hours reading newsletters I subscribe to that keep me informed about public land and conservation issues. Being on the road most of the last three months, I have a lot of catching up to do.
I subscribe to as many of the "opposition" emails as I...
The core of our Fresh Tracks+ subscribers come from Hunt Talk. Thanks to all of you.
For those who subscribe, the second of seven episodes from this hunt is up on FT+. More to come in the next week.
Those who subscribe to Fresh Tracks+ saw this video quite a while back. In this video, Marcus, Kara, and Rocky go to Alaska and shoot two very cool moose. A ton of work once they hit the ground, but big smiles from some of my favorite people. Now available on our YouTube channel at the link...
This summer @Gerald Martin, @sclancy27, and @Eric Albus joined me for a Hunt Talk Radio podcast episode about their Montana mule deer proposal. We had hoped that @antlerradar could join us, but he was trying to save his property from wildfires at that time. Suffice to say, his fingerprints are...
If you like personal stories and hunting dreams, this film is one you'd probably like. This was one of the films produced from the Project Hunt contests put together by Leupold with help from GOHUNT.
I got to spend some time with Cody this summer when he was in Montana. A superb person, as are...
In this podcast I have David Willms of the National Wildlife Federation (and the Your Mountain Podcast) to talk about Utah's effort to lay claim to 18.5 millions acres of BLM lands. A lot of this has been discussed on the threads here on Hunt Talk. This podcast goes into a deep dive of the...
