The Lead Off
Living out West I feel that one of the most beneficial things that you can have with you while hunting is your optics. You can shoot what you can't see. And when your glasses hill sides 30 to 500 yrds away you need to be able to clearly identify your prey of choice. So to give you a little back story, I have been given the opportunity to use Hawke Optics Endurance Phase Corrected 10x42 binos over the last few months. Prior to using the Hawke Endurance...

I was getting my gear ready this weekend for my hunts this coming week and I was freaking out because I could not find my knife. It is a 14" PIC Bowie Knife that was made in the 1950's in Germany. It is just a knife but this summer it became MY knife. I NEED this knife with me at all times in the field and I was worried I was not going to find it. I mean I did leave my headlamp in the field last time out. But, I did find it and that got me thinking, what other things that are "Musts" haves for me in the field whether it...

10/25/11***I am going to add a to the mix a foldible compact mount so those who don't have a bow can use it with their SLR or pocket cam.****
I have been asked by people how I get so many camera angles with my cameras from my bow. Well, I will unveil the secrets up my filming. I make my own camera mounts. Simple fact is I do not like buying anything that I can make. My Handcrafted Gear Pages shows that. I...

So day two was not much better in terms of success, but what is lacked in meat on the ground it was assurance that my spot and stalk and planning skills were up to par. The night before I had met a gentleman in the campground who had only seen one doe and because I have become the "Doe Whisperer" I told him to come with me and we'll make it happen for him and I hopefully.
The set up was great, a open field where deer and pigs are feeding, their beds where they take the mid morning siestas, and us in between the...

So my weekend started out a little early last week, Friday morning to be exact and with my truck loaded with all the essentials pig sticking supplies I headed north to Forth Hunter Ligget in Paso Robles, CA. I was a pretty uneventful drive, except for the guy that I met in a gun shop that said he hunts Grizzly Bears in Central California....um ya how's that straight jacket fitting? Parents still give you coloring books...

So this weekend I was sitting in my ground blind and waiting for pigs to come into the water hole for hours and hours. I started to think about the things I had been doing all day while I was waiting and about the things other people do while waiting for game. Here is a the top ten list.
1. Glass the area counting every blade of grass and fallen leaf.
2. Text everyone you know about the conditions in the field hoping they respond.
3. Range every pebble and blade of grass around you.
4. Update your Facebook, Twitter, Blog and...

Many people have seen my video "The Canal" about bowfishing in Ventura County, CA. It is not your typical sit down outdoor hunting type program and that to me is a good thing. Many hunting shows today have the same footage, same B roll cut ins and same stand in front of a big tree and tell you about the kill footage and they have their place on television. But when did hunting footage split from main stream culture and loose the ability to stir in visual appealing footage with a moving story of the pursuit of...

So I went out to my local prime hunting spot to try and shoot myself a nice Buck before pee shooting opens. So I geared up, and headed out solo. As I got to the mouth of the canyon I found lots of good fresh deer tracks and bear. Good stuff, was excited about shooting a bear, later this month. So me, myself and I thought it through and we would just be on the lookout for a few Yogis rolling down the trail. No worries we've done this may times before.
First let me say, I've had many run ins with bears, I spent a...
