After 15 years that started with the Remingtons over at Skinny Moose, I am finally on my own. I wanted to give shout-outs to Kevin Paulson over at https://huntinglife.com/ and the web team over at https://www.webb4biz.com/ for getting me going with my brand new site! I have my own domain, and this site is all…
I connected with Rick Phillips from Arizona Sport Fishing on Instagram, and he jumped at my offer to share a trip with him, so I could profile his outfit. The “hot” season for stripers seemed to take a little longer than usual this year to reach peak, but finally we were able to get out…
When I was in the northeast, I never hunted doves. When I moved to Arizona, I took it up. Dove hunting, to me, is one of those hunts that is more about the tradition, than the actual hunt. Opening day of dove season brings new hunters and infrequent hunters out in droves, along with the…
So, I’m guilty, even though I know better. I am not a “hard core” environmentalist per se, but sustainability is important to me, because usually – it makes sense.

Particularly in Africa, there is a ton of data that shows the benefits of hunting; and the detrimental effects of banning hunting. Many of us know, or have experienced the vitriol and…
I’ve been chatting with Bill Carey over at Striper Express for well over a year, and every time I talked to him, I wanted to visit even more. Finally, I had an opportunity. Bill had generously donated a discounted “Big Fish Special” to the Arizona Mule Deer Organization for us to auction off at one of our fundraising banquets….
Around a year ago I was sent this pair of boots to review. I always feel bad – when companies send me boots, they always seem to arrive at an odd time and it takes awhile to get a decent review done. Anyway, a PR Company reached out to me about AKU Boots. According to their…
1. Camo is a highly competitive market with some really big hitters – what made you decide to jump in? That’s true! It’s a highly competitive market but one in which that I saw a real niche opportunity. Having bow hunted for whitetail for over 30 years, I saw a need for a very specific…
