Entries for July 2012

Today we're going into moose country. Watch and see how you and your horse can decoy a moose into bowhunting range this coming season. Don’t try this at home ... but you can try it in the backcountry.

Today I'm unboxing the Leupold VX-2 3-9X40mm riflescope. You could win this awesome optic, but there are special rules for this one. Watch the video below to get the scoop. (Regarding my jam session: Who says boy bands are a thing of the past?)

It's Tip Tuesday on "My Take," and today I'm sharing a few ideas for how you can control your scent when you're out in the field. Of course, playing the wind is important, but there are times when some extra scent control can truly make a big difference on a hunt.

In this edition of Hot News of the Week, I explain how ticks are causing thousands of people to develop a serious allergy to meat. How terrible would it be to get bit by a tick that causes you to give up meat for the rest of your life? I'll also share a preview of what's to come this week on "My Take."

In recent weeks, fire officials and land managers in Utah and other states have suggested—in a very public way—that recreational shooters have sparked dozens of wildfires across tinder-dry portions of the West this summer. But many experienced shooters and those involved with the business of guns and ammunition contend that those accusing public-land plinkers and target shooters are jumping the gun.

I couldn't be happier to finally announce the debut of my new 13-week show, "Winchester's Deadly Passion," on the Pursuit Channel. This is truly my pride and joy, and I'm over-the-top excited for people to check it out.

“Fail” videos are quite common on YouTube, and while sometimes it’s hard to tell if the failure was somehow planned in hopes of a video going viral, I think it’s safe to say this one is the real deal.

Headlines from the past week are promising for waterfowlers. Get your ducks in a row and this season could be epic.

TGIH! Thank God I'm Hunting! This week I head to Colorado for an amazing late-season mule deer hunt. With a rifle in hand, the bucks just kept streaming by until one big boy caught my attention. Not only was he a huge buck, but he had a unicorn point growing right out of the middle of his forehead.

It's Thursday and that means Product Review Day at my local Cabela's. This week I'm checking out spotting scope mounts for your vehicle's window and explain how this small accessory can make a big difference when you're in the field.
