The Backcountry Journal…

Just a quick shout out to The Backcountry Journal and Andy Wayment who has written a fantastic tale about quail hunting in Idaho. Very cool to read and makes me want to head up to the Northwest and do some bird hunting. Check out Andy's work over at The Backcountry Journal and at The ...

Arizona Quail Hunting: Slow Day in Wickenburg

My buddy, Kyle, and I met early on Saturday morning and made the drive up to Wickenburg to see if we could find some of those Gambel's quail that I had stumbled on a few weeks back.

South Mountain Hunting Camp: More Pictures

A few more pictures from the trip as I try and catch up this week. Missing a couple days of school, picking up a cold, and starting junior high basketball has been keeping life busy. Looking to get out and chase some birds this weekend. That should set everything right...

Fly Fishing Nevada: Small Streams and Gambling

I found myself in Las Vegas for a good buddy's bachelor party not long ago and amidst the turmoil of the weekend, I planned to get out and do a little fishing. My research had started a few months earlier and with the insight from some friends I found myself bouncing over a teeth-chattering, washboard road through the Nevada desert. Fairly ...

Sharpening Broadheads…

I will be the first to admit it. I have a very difficult time getting a blade to the point of being razor sharp. At the end of the day I can get a broadhead or knife fairly sharp with some of the "dumbed-down" tools that they have on the market today, but getting a ridiculously sharp broad-head is difficult ...
