When the pressure of a long season and tags burning a hole in your pocket get to be a bit much. Here are a few tricks I’ve learned over the years that may increase your odds of success or it may not. Either way, sometimes changing it up is all you need to keep you going. 

We all have those certain sets we go to year after year that consistently produce for us.  Sometimes its a ladder stand over a food plot, hang on stand overlooking an oak flat, or even a well brushed in ground blind in a transition area.  One thing about those “old faithful” sets is you usually know when/how those deer will travel through those areas.   However, as much as much as we scent prevent with your favorite shampoo or scent killer field spray those deer know your favorite spots too.  One thing our team tries to do is avoid burning out...

Being prepared when it comes to hunting cannot be overstated. Everyone has their opinion on how much preparation is necessary, but the more preparation you do, the higher your chances are of being successful.

But on the other hand, I would often settle for something less so I didn’t burn a tag. Then as I got a little older,...

What is the most important piece of equipment when hunting?

While all of those things play an important role in the success of your hunt, one thing that stands out in my mind is a piece of essential equipment that often goes unnoticed. Yes, you got it, I’m talking about the much needed safety harness we use as we sit high in the trees. Every year hunters head out to the tree stand without...
