Oct 27, 2025

Shopping for a hunter can feel like trying to read a gear catalog in another language. We make it simple with a clear map of what actually gets used, what’s worth upgrading, and how to time big purchases so you don’t overspend. From arrows, ammo, and batteries to heated vests, merino layers, and trail camera essentials, we share the real-world picks that carry a season—not just a single trip.

We also dig into the details that matter: why a better headlamp changes dark hikes, how alpaca and merino manage...

Stop Second Guessing Your Hunt

Ever feel that nagging urge to change everything mid‑sit? We’ve been there. This week, we dig into why second guessing wrecks hunts and how a simple, structured plan—paired with honest data—keeps you on track to tag mature blacktails. We lay out the season framework we teach our coaching groups: a calendar you actually follow, the intel you record each day, and the small, repeatable actions that compound into results. No fluff, no hype, just practical steps that build confidence when the woods go quiet.

Smokey Crews Lessons from a Lifetime of Bowhunting: Bulls, Bears, and Hard-Won Wisdom
Oct 13, 2025

Some hunts hinge on perfect gear. Most hinge on better judgment. We sit down with Smokey Crews to unpack the quiet moves that turn a fleeting chance into a clean kill—why he swears by a Chuck Adams side quiver through thick coastal brush, how a “60-yard” caribou needed a lower hold despite a correct range, and what really happens when a big Roosevelt bull makes that straight-line “death run” into huckleberries. It’s part campfire, part masterclass, and full of the hard-earned notes you won’t find on a glossy gear ad.

A record is a number; a trophy is a feeling. That line sets the pace as we sit down with Smokey Crews to unpack the mindset, effort, and odd twists of fate behind a lifetime of tags—from a rare, double-shovel caribou taken on the first morning to a hilariously gnarly velvet bull chosen for pure character the next day. We explore how to decide what you’re hunting for, how to hold out when it matters, and when to shoot the one that makes your heart jump.

Form Follows Function: Lessons From Mr. Roosevelt, Smokey Crews
Sep 29, 2025

Meet Smokey Crews, a living legend in the bowhunting world whose journey from self-taught hunter to record book champion offers profound lessons for archers of all skill levels. Known as "Mr. Roosevelt" for his exceptional success with trophy elk, Smokey's story begins with a seven-year-old boy hunting squirrels alone with a .22 rifle, never having a mentor to guide him.

Smokey takes us back to the early 1960s, when he hunted the boundaries of Olympic National Park with his first bow – a $23 Ben Pearson recurve. His vivid descriptions of elk herds that mo...

Decoys have long been a staple in whitetail and turkey hunting, but their potential for blacktail hunting remains largely untapped. Why leave such an effective tool out of your hunting arsenal? Aaron and Dave break down everything you need to know to successfully deploy decoys for blacktail deer this season.

The positioning of your decoy isn't just important—it's absolutely critical. Dave shares his hard-earned knowledge on strategic placement, explaining how bucks and does approach decoys differently. "If I'm using a buck decoy, that buck should circle around to the front," Da...

The dream of hunting your own land captivates many outdoorsmen, but what happens when your property is only 22 acres? Can you truly create a thriving deer habitat that supports quality hunting opportunities? 

Responding to an email from Keith in Northern California, we dive deep into the science of deer behavior and habitat management for small properties. The secret lies in understanding the three critical components that make any deer habitat viable: food, cover, and breeding opportunities. Blacktail deer typically establish remarkably small home ranges—studies show they often live their entire liv...

The hosts dive deep into track identification, explaining how to distinguish between doe and buck prints based on subtle differences in shape and size.

Dave shares his fresh wound—losing access to "The Locker Room," a honey hole with three Pope and Young qualifiers, including two that would have been his biggest bucks ever. After months of trail camera work, mineral placement, and pattern identification, it all vanished with a closed gate. His painful experience lau...

The Hunter's Perfect Storm: Combining 5 Natural Factors for Trophy Success

We break down the five key factors that significantly increase your chances of a successful hunt when combined. These natural indicators compound to create optimal hunting conditions when your target buck is most likely to be on its feet during daylight hours.

• Barometric pressure of 30.2 and rising creates increased deer movement
• Moon phases, especially "red moon weeks," trigger feeding due to gravitational pull
• Temperature drops of 20 degrees between daily highs push deer to feed earlier and longer
• Weather fronts cause deer to feed heavily before and after storms

The difference between consistently successful hunters and those who struggle isn't luck – it's preparation. In this detailed conversation, we break down our proven pre-season routine that consistently puts us in position for trophy blacktails.

The journey begins with strategic planning. We discuss the critical importance of understanding "Red Moon" phases – periods when the moon's magnetic pull is strongest, triggering increased deer movement. This astronomical phenomenon, favored by hunters who consistently take 200-inch whitetails, has accounted for nearly 90% of our trophy buck harvests. Best of all, you can plan for these phases mont...

Diving into part four of our bear hunting series with expert Heather Aldrich, we unpack the strategic mindset required for consistent success.

Dave and Aaron explore how darkness might be even more important than thickness alone, with bucks gravitating to areas so dark that hunters need headlamps while legal shooting light still remains outside. They reveal why September hunting demands a completely different approach, with velvet-antlered bucks often avoiding the thickest...

The conversation takes unexpected turns through the science of deer development, where we discover that antler size speaks more to genetics than age. Some mature bucks genetically max out as fork horns while others wi...

Every hunter faces unseen adversaries more challenging than elusive game—our own mental and physical limitations. What keeps many would-be hunters from success isn't lack of skill but fear of the dark, anxiety about wildlife encounters, or the physical constraints we all eventually face.

The darkness of the woods triggers primal fears. "It's either pitch black where you can't see your hand in front of your face, or when the moon's out, it's like almost daylight," Dave explains, highlighting how unfamiliarity breeds anxiety. Both hosts share personal stories of eerie wildlife en...

The hosts begin by shattering a common misconception: "You're never as quiet as you think you are."

The science behind these regulations raises significant questions about their application to blacktail deer populations.
