Enjoyment of Results Often Depends on the Process

“Because there’s more to enjoying life than being right,” he said. “There’s enjoying the fact you earned it. Earning it means it’s yours because you made it yourself, and you don’t have to wait for some other fellow to say, ‘Go ahead,’ when you’re ready to take it in.”

Join Us Raising Our New Child on “Driven Outdoors” with Nicole Reeve

Those memories that we made when I was a youngster helped shape my future and built really-strong ties to my family. If it weren’t for my family caring enough about me to make sure I had a good outdoor education and a good hunting education, I really believe I wouldn’t be able to do what I do today.

Clearing Up Your Dirty Title

If you're in the market to sell your land, you'll need to first consider the state of your title. The title is the binding document that states your property rights, and in some cases, there may be several actors who have ownership of a portion of your land. Without knowing the exact rights included in your title, you may not be able to transfer your land. That's why it's important to understand what makes a

Nicole and Pat Reeve Will Adapt Hunting and Work to Accommodate a Newborn

When we can, we’re really excited about taking our baby with us, because we don’t believe there's any better place for any youngster to grow up than in the outdoors. We don’t believe there’s any better people for a child to associate with than people in the outdoor industry.

Nicole Reeve on Putting Up With Her Husband Pat 24/7

I've always love to hunt. When I first started dating Pat, we enjoyed hunting together. We really enjoyed sitting in the woods in a tree stand for long periods of time with no one around but just us two. When we began filming together, we lost that special time in the tree that we enjoyed. Pat would take one cameraman with him, and I’d take a different cameraman with me. One day Pat said, “Why

Grow Bigger Bucks and Increase Fawn Survival

If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to get some warm season annuals planted for your deer herd. Bucks are in the antler growing process as well as packing on weight as they mature. Having a high protein food source this time of year is just as important for your doe as well.

Nicole Reeve Tells Us Change Is Coming

The 2014/2015 was a crazy year for Pat and me both. We went to Alberta. As you read last week, Pat took a really-nice Shiras moose there. I wasn’t able to go on some of the hunts that Pat went on this year, because I was expecting a new little one. I had to stay behind on some of the hunts, but I was able to do some really-cool hunts. I went to Montana elk

I make no claims to be better at turkey hunting than the next guy and in reality I’m not. That’s why (for me anyway) when you pull off a zone 1 miracle it’s sweet. I’ve been hunting with many of the so called “best” turkey hunters in the nation and none of them kill or call in a longbeard on each and every hunt and would not claim too. I have had many hunts where

Marine Cpl. Christian Brown, of Mumford, Tenn., grew up in the outdoors and learned his earliest life lessons while following his father through the woods.

Pat Reeve and His Iowa Whitetail

In 2014, Nicole and I both drew Iowa late season muzzleloader whitetail deer tags for the southeastern zone of the state. We hunted out of Wingover Ranch, an area we’d hunted the previous year during the late muzzleloader season. I was fortunate enough then to take a whitetail buck that scored 180 points Boone & Crockett.

Pat Reeve Explains When a Brown Bear Hunt Is More Than a Brown Bear Hunt

I decided to give up the entire month of November to go to Kodiak Island in Alaska to hunt brown bear with a bow. I wanted to hunt the brown bears fishing in the salmon streams. To my way of thinking, this is a classic brown bear hunt. I never had hunted Kodiak Island, yet I knew this island off the Alaskan Peninsula was where most of the giant brown bear were taken.

From the Archives: Bob Dixon and Steve Burnett on the Art of Mix and Matching Camo

By Terry Madewell, originally published in the 1994 edition of Mossy Oak Bowhunting Magazine As big whitetail bucks are inclined to do, this one had done the unexpected. 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
