How To: Animal Bone Swizzle Stick and Toothpick
Some people might think this is weird, or even inappropriate, but I want everyone to have an open mind and think outside the box. Everyone expects hunters to try and use every part of the animal. I think I definitely take that to the next level with two DIY projects that can be created from parts you wouldn't normally use. Bear Swizzle Stick I got into helping my friend guide bear hunts, so I had the opportunity to gut and skin a lot of bears. My friend told me that people us

Shed Hunting: Tips and Tricks
When deer season rolls around, I get extremely giddy. Whitetail hunting is my favorite season when it comes to harvesting game. But what happens when hunting season ends? When hunting season ends, shed season begins. Every year it’s the same, we spend the whole summer preparing for fall and as soon as I get in my stand and am waiting on a hit-lister, I am reminded of how much I miss shed season. When to Start Looking As most of you know, whitetails will shed their antlers in

Product Review: Stampede Style Sunglasses by Skeleton Optics
Recently I was sent a pair of sunglasses from Skeleton Optics to test and review. The style I have been testing is the "Stampede" style - Breast Cancer Pink Edition. A portion of the sale from each pair of these sunglasses goes towards Breast Cancer Awareness programs. Up until this past summer, I was only ever purchasing cheap sunglasses. I refused to spend money on more expensive pairs. My husband encouraged me to purchase a better pair and I fell in love. Now after trying

Accubow Product Review
For anyone who spends time in any discipline or sport they know practice makes perfect. Basketball players continually practice on the court, baseball players spend hours on the field hitting and catching the ball, and for bow shooters its countless hours of letting arrows fly. Use to be the only practice that bow shooters got was finding that 5 minutes between work, running errands, and checking off the to-do list to shoot. And if mother nature decided to show off than that

The Elk Named Moose
By: Allison Rauscher Photos Taken By: Allison Rauscher & Bradley Brossard Disclaimer: I do not have all the answers as far as the wolf, bear, elk, and whitetail numbers go and how the predators effect the populations in the state of Wisconsin. I'm still educating myself! Throughout the years, I've done volunteer work of all kinds. If there's something I want to get involved with, it's difficult to slow me down from doing so. Any volunteer work I have ever done, has been extre

8 Tips for Hunting With Young Children
Including our children in outdoor activities at an early age will set them up for a lifetime full of great adventures. Recently I sat down with my three nieces (ages 5, 7, 9) and we talked about their first few hunts, focusing on the things we did and some things we could have done differently to make each trip the best it could be. Hunter Safety: Prior to your hunt make sure the child you are taking understands gun/bow safety. My Dad always made me aware of how dangerous the

How Marathon Training Can Make You a Better Hunter
I was always pretty athletic, but never liked running distances. I dreaded the mile in gym class- those four laps around the track was boring to me. I would much rather have been on the softball field sprinting 60ft from base to base. When our coach made us run, I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Now, flash forward, years out of high school and away from the competitive softball lifestyle, running distances is my therapy and the dreaded “mile” is no longer a daunting task. Pe

Free Range by Alpha Dog Nutrition - Product Review
After the awesome results my lab, Sage, had with Alpha Dog’s “Vitality,” I decided I would try another product. This time, we chose “Free Range.” One word: Wow. I am blown away by these products. Free Range is a powdered supplement that promotes joint support, paw health and it’s also an anti-inflammatory. Because our hunting dogs are so hard on their bodies in the field, and even when training, it’s imperative for us to give them the best nutrition so that their joints maint

Train To Hunt - Elevate Your Fitness
I competed in my first Train to Hunt events in 2014 and since then, the principles of hunting fitness have changed my life. Train to Hunt is a competition that combines fitness and archery. The specific exercises and weights have changed over the past 3 years but the concept remains the same. The competition typically consists of a 3D shoot that is a mix of known and unknown distances as well as hunting scenario type shots like these: Draw and hold your bow between 30 second

In The Moment
Have you ever been in that moment after a long hike through tough terrains and FINALLY get set up on what you've been going after and question whether or not you should take that animal? I feel like almost every hunter can relate to that feeling of uncertainty in some way. I was recently put in this very same situation on an Axis buck hunt. My husband and I finally had a chance to get away for a weekend this summer and we set out for a piece of family property to try and find

Black Tine Outfitters- Ft. McCoy, FL When you think of anniversary celebrations and trips, you picture romantic walks on the beach, candle-lit dinners, and dressing up.
