Sharing information regarding hunting in California is something that give hunters more tools in which to be successful in the field. This past Saturday, I gave a seminar at Bass Pro Shops in Rancho Cucamonga, CA on Scouting and Optics in Southern California. I focused on SoCal because California is…

Rocky Athletic Mobility boots and Badlands Approach camo make a great combination. Patience and planning. Two things that make an out of state hunt much more enjoyable. Even though I am from NY and have hunted there my entire life, I still remain abreast of the new or updated laws…

Yes, you read the headline correctly. Social media helped save the life of a coyote this past weekend. No, the wily animal didn’t put out a call for help on Twitter. No, something else happened and it makes for a slightly entertaining story! With the rains on Thursday and Friday,…
