The alarm had been going off for some time when I finally reached around to hit the snooze button. I should have been bouncing out of bed. It was the second week of November, and for a bowhunter, this is the time of year dreamt about during those other 50 weeks. The whitetail [...]
I have had the immense pleasure of hunting with T. J. Conrads the past two elk seasons. Not only because of his campfire stories and bowhunting expertise, but the food can’t be beat. For those who follow his Instagram posts, you’ll know when it comes to food, he cuts exactly zero corners. Fortunately [...]

An entire article on making a hamburger? I’m kidding, right? Wrong, and I’ll tell you why. First, I feel strongly that eating what we shoot doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves nowadays.
