Scoutlook Weather Website - The Guess Work is over....

Are you the kind of bowhunter that just picks a weekend and goes hunting no matter what? There is nothing wrong with that approach, as we have all done it. Are you the kind of bowhunter that plans every aspect of your hunt to the point where it is analysis by paralysis? If you are like me you are somewhere in between these two types of bowhunters. I have learned that if you are going

Thank You to the Old Men, Who Allowed Me to Be Young

Both my grandfathers and a great uncle served in World War II. None of them talked much at all about what they did or saw in those years, but their enjoyment of life and the outdoors told me without words why they did it. To all those who have served and continue serving, thank you.

A Listening Walk with a 5-year-old Finds Plenty to Hear and Remember

A little farther along we saw deer tracks, a common sight everywhere now but not so when I was a boy. I kept watch on the treeline and the thickets beyond, good bedding area, thinking we might jump a deer somewhere along the way. He saw me looking and started watching too.

John O’Dell Takes Canadian Caribou

This past season, my videoing and hunting partner, Dave Reisner, and I flew to Manitoba, Canada, and landed in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We then took a plane to Churchill, and from Churchill we took a floatplane one hour and 30 minutes northwest of Churchill to Chamcook Lake. Our outfitter had a cabin on the lake, and we hunted on foot or by boat from there. On the second afternoon of the hunt, we were dressed in

A whitetail buck may lose up to ¼ of his body weight during the rut. His sole focus is breeding with as many receptive does as he can. Why not give him what he’s been waiting for? Estrus scents are by far the most popular type of deer lure sold; however, they are not all created equal. Freshness, how it’s bottled and how it’s stored can all affect how effective your deer pee will be.

John O’Dell Hunts Deer and Javelinas with His Young Son at the King Ranch

My son Jacob O’Dell was 10-years old last season when he experienced his first deer hunt. Jacob is only 4-feet tall and weighs about 75 or 85 pounds, but he loves to shoot his bow and really wanted to go deer hunting. He’d already passed his hunter’s safety course.

Cowboy Cook Offers Perspective on Life

I’m not a country or western music fan and I’ve never set foot in Bob’s Country Bunker, but when I got to camp and met Don I couldn’t help thinking of the lyrics from Chris LeDoux’s “This Cowboy’s Hat.” As it turned out, Don had more stories of adventure than even the song suggests, and more evidence of a life less ordinary.
