Colorado’s Mike Miller and the 300-Yard Bull Elk

This hunt took place on the opening day of elk rifle season one year. My hunter and I drove up to a place that I liked to glass from because I could see almost the entire mountain range. I didn’t like to go to this spot before daylight, since I believed the headlights on my truck would spook the elk. Once we had some natural light, I took my spotting scope and binoculars there and

Fish Habitat You Can Count On

Some fish species relate to bait more than structure. But even when that’s the case, the bait they’re after usually relates to structure of some kind. So giving your fish something to relate to in the form of structure is a huge step forward to producing and holding more fish. Some try to sink trees, others try to build structures and “cribs, but why do all that work when it can be as easy as

Colorado’s Mike Miller and the Deep Canyon Bull Elk

On one opening-day archery hunt, we got up before daylight and went to the spot where we could watch wide expanses and a deep canyon. My hunter saw several big bulls, and I talked him into going down in the canyon, an 1800-foot descent to reach the bottom. I knew there was good water down there and several wallows. We went to the end of the canyon that had only two ways out - climb

Colorado’s Mike Miller Tells Us about an Opening Morning Elk Archery Hunt

I’d been watching this large herd of elk for a couple of weeks that had one big herd bull, about 300 cows and eight satellite bulls. When I got my client in the position where he could see the herd, I said, “Okay. Here is the herd. We’re going to attempt to move close enough for you to get a shot at the herd bull without spooking the rest of the elk.”

Colorado’s Mike Miller’s Best Opening Day Bull Elk

One time I had trail camera pictures of a herd bull that scored 352 inches. Within 30 minutes of legal shooting time during muzzleloader season that year, that bull was on the ground. I got up in camp at about 5 a.m., and my hunter was so excited he had been up and ready to go since 4 a.m. We checked out all our gear to make sure my hunter had bullets, powder and percussion

Brandon Scherff Says He’s Looking Forward to Football and Hunting in 2016

Football is a lot like hunting in that the more time and energy you spend on the small details of both sports, the greater your chances are of being successful and/or winning. In football, all five linemen have to be on the same page, and each man has to execute his assignment to the best of his ability on every play. Our line is only as strong as the line’s weakest person.

I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I would be about

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
