The 2016 ATA show has come and gone, and once again the SELFILMED crew had a great time checking out some of the new products to hit the market for the upcoming hunting season. Some years, the new releases are more jaw dropping than others, but there is always something
This year, for the first time in my life, I was going to have an opportunity to hunt on my own property. My wife and I recently purchased a house, and while I do not exactly own a large tract of land, I have enough to safely hunt, and early

Our first full day had ended in excitement as I had finally taken my first Merriam’s. With the monkey now off of my back, all focus shifted to getting my Dad on a bird. It was still early in the week with three full days left before making the journey
If you haven’t already, go here and read Part 1 of mine and Calvin’s 2015 Nebraska Merriam’s hunt. Our first few days in Nebraska for our annual Merriam’s hunt was nothing short of frustrating. Despite the high hopes and unwavering confidence we had brought along with us, Nebraska had decided to
Two weeks prior to the opening weekend of the North Carolina spring wild turkey season, I was running four trail cams on three different farms and getting up early most mornings before going to work to locate birds. The past couple season I had not done my homework, and ended up having
Last year, for the first time in over 15 years, I had failed to fill a single deer tag. A week-long trip to Pike County Illinois as well as several weekend hunts in Ohio and Indiana yielded very few deer sightings. By the time mid December rolled around, I had
