Nutrition in the Field: A Hunter’s Guide to Staying Fueled

When it comes to hunting, staying properly energized and hydrated are key. After all, most hunts are physically demanding.

Season Prep Tip: Sighting in Your Rifle

That misalignment could mean the difference between a successful hunt and a disappointing experience. Rifles should be topped with quality scopes at a minimum of 3×9 power with a 40mm objective or larger. Remember, we take longer shots out[...]

Photo Update: 2014 Wyoming Hunts

Most of our 2014 Wyoming hunts have come to a close. We had a great season of antelope hunts, mule deer hunts and elk hunts here across the state. Compared to the heavy October snows of last year, the weather was very cooperative. In fact, it was a little too warm at times. However, after dealing with the headaches that the snow caused in 2013, nobody was complaining about this year’s Indian summer.

Antelope hunting overall was very good[...]

Here are a few photos from the recent hunts:
