Last spring, I traveled to northern Alberta to hunt black bears with W&L Guide Services. If you read my article, you know that I didn't kill a bear, but the experience was unforgettable. Well, as you read this, I'm back at W&L to see if I can find "Him"—a big, mature bruin that High Level is known for.

There's insurance available to cover nearly every aspect of your life, and you can take measures to insure your hunts. You could go the traditional route and purchase trip insurance, but who has extra cash sitting around to sink into a policy that likely has an “act of God” clause in it anyway?

Trail cameras have become a very important part of many people's scouting and hunting routine, but I decided to push my cameras one step further. I often like to place a GoPro or small camera right in my turkey decoy setup to get that great low angle shot looking back at the blind, but oftentimes the camera is dead by the time the turkeys decide to roll in.

It's been a late spring across most of the country, so many turkey hunters have been struggling to tag birds. Add snow into the equation and some turkey hunters will throw in the towel. But that's not necessary. If you want to kill a snow strutter, there are a few measures you can take to improve your odds.

Bowhunting whitetails is like a game of poker, and each decision you make has consequences. Should you be cautious and bowhunt only the fringe of a buck’s home range? Should you be aggressive and try rattling? Or ... gulp! ... try a deer drive/push?

The best thing about magnum cartridges is you can shoot farther and hit your target without knowing precise range. Magnums maximize a sighting system know as Maximum Point Blank Range. It's the fastest, surest way of making hits on game animals without needing a rangefinder, ballistic calculator, ballistic reticles or dialing turrets.
