I’m literally going to get the party started with the link to this SOLAR-POWERED CELLULAR GAME CAM.  Why?  Because you’re going to want this and may come back for it. So first off, I know what you’re thinking…how does it work?  And the power to this camera is quite simply a 10-watt solar panel paired with a massive 20,000mAh battery…that’s all! 🙂 So right there is what really makes this game camera a game-changer right off the bat.  But it doesn’t just end there.  This thing is ridiculously clear at a very far distance, with a whopping 50x optical zoom behind

Secret About Me… I have 2 small dogs that are spoiled beyond belief. LOVE those dogs…they are my sidekicks and are usually with me… I’ve been fortunate enough that I’ve been able to make a living in the outdoors for over 20 years now. I’m not going to lie, it’s been a fun ride, and I love what I do. Most people know my time online from the forums I created in hunting and fishing…which I later sold in 2013. I think the timing was right, especially with social media apps taking over that space. Since then, I’ve been designing websites

You got the new pointing lab puppy home.  You got the dog bed, the treats, the food, the retrieving dummies, dog food dishes and maybe even a good crate (I like ruff tuff – but that is another post).  But what are the best dog training collars?  A guy can’t help but notice the number of shock collars on the market — there are literally hundreds. With all those different types of training collars it is tough to know where to start to get a good one.  Since I use electric shock collars practically every day, I came up with a

Snow goose hunting is a love/hate relationship.  Don’t get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for the bird.  Their ability to make you look SMALL at times, is where the hate comes in. It reminds me a lot of musky fishing.  Some days you throw big baits all weekend for nothing…and other times it all seems to just come together.  Snow goose hunting is no different. To show my age, I’ve been snow goose hunting on my own for 30 years.  Started much earlier with Dad, but my passion for hunting snow geese really took off when I was in

Snow goose hunting has to be one of the most psychotic outdoor activities on the planet.  Why?  Well, if you’ve never been on a week-long snow goose hunting trip, it has to be one of the most tiring vacations you’ll ever experience.  I mean, to do this week in and out requires a special type of person, and there are very few that can stand up and claim to know…the grind. What is the grind???  Well, it usually starts WAY TOO EARLY in the morning, and after setting and picking up decoys, cleaning birds, scouting, etc. it ends with a repeat

Editor’s Note: I saw Lukas’ story on Facebook and I knew this would be a good reminder about the importance of safety harnesses.  I know someone with permanent back injuries due to falling out of a treestand.  Safety first! I run the Muddy Pro Harness system for bow hunting out of tree stands. The product is awesome and very lightweight coming in at 1.5lbs.   They’re equipped with added shoulder straps for a very comfortable fit and mesh backing. They also feature quick-release buckles for the waist that are very nice and quiet and release very easily! No metal-on-metal noise is an

Updated best video cameras for hunting for 2021/2022! I started filming hunts back in 2004, and have been having fun doing amateur videos ever since. I get it, I’m not George Lucas and never will be…but I like having decent video cameras to capture memories as I get older. Nowadays, I like to have the camera rolling whenever I’m out hunting or fishing. You just never know when something BIG is going to happen…like my personal best walleye that I caught on film years back. A worst-case scenario is you acquire no decent footage, which takes about 10 seconds to reformat

I’m becoming of an age where I guess I would be considered an “old school” waterfowler.  I’m in my early 40s, been waterfowl hunting since I could pick up a gun, and I don’t like to mess around with subpar gear.  Quite frankly, I don’t have the patience or time for cheap or inadequate stuff.  So with that being said, the same has always gone for my layout blinds.   I’ve broken so many layout blinds that I have a graveyard of blinds and parts in my shop.  Cheap and untested gear ends up trashed over the course of a season.  I

 It’s late July and I’m either on a boat or in my office and the expectation of the ever-familiar chime of a new email notification goes off on my phone.  The highly anticipated North Dakota Deer Lottery has been run; NOT SUCCESSFUL! It’s now 4 years in a row of getting the annual rejection letter. A good friend with the same luck in the lottery as me decided we were tired of waiting, we need to go hunting.   We decided to try our hand at getting some tags in our neighboring state of Montana.  We chose Montana for a few different

Well, the new year is upon us and soon we’ll all be watching and waiting as spring snow goose reports start rolling in. You see, if you’re a snow goose hunter, this is a soon to be the holiday season. As large flocks of snow geese start making their way north, in shops and garages everywhere there are guys getting ready. Fixing blind and stakes, prepping ecallers, etc. are all on the list. Yes, this is what brings success most springs, being ready. I like to rant about hunting snow geese so check out my previous 2 versions: Snow Goose Hunting

No matter what outdoor activity you’re into, the best headlamps are hard to come by. I’ve gone through dozens of headlamps through the years and most of them were junk. So I felt a good list of the best headlamps would be helpful for those shopping around and looking for honest reviews. For me personally, I use my headlamps for hunting, fishing, and camping mostly. Whether I’m setting up decoys in the morning to pitching jigs at night…I’m wearing my headlamp. So with that being said, here’s some of the most popular and recent models on the market today.

I’ve had numerous pairs of Muck Boots on my feet through the years. In fact, I’ve owned 2 pairs of Muck Boots Wetlands, a pair of Muck Boots Chore St., and a pair of Muck Boots Arctic Pro boots. I like slip-on style boots, that you can get on and off quickly and away you go. And Muck boots are great for this, but over the years I’m starting to notice a trend, and I will share this with you on my in-depth Muck boots review.
