The Hunt I'm Looking Forward to the Most in 2016

I'm going to Pakistan and going up the highway toward Islamabad. Next I’ll come off the highway and make a three day trek to the far mountains toward Afghanistan. I’ll be hunting an animal called the cashmere Markhor (a bovid mammal closely related to a wild goat). In the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece from Greek mythology, the goat he was after was a Markhor like the one I'm planning to hunt. Taking

Jim Shockey’s Most Difficult Hunt Last Season

My most difficult hunt last year happened when I was hunting in Chad. Chad has been closed to hunting for several years, because the last outfitter hunting there was speared by a local tribesman. The country arrested the outfitter with a spear in his leg. Chad is located in central North Africa, and the countries around Chad are very unstable So, I knew there was an element of danger before I left to go on

Red Oak Hybrids: The “Next Big Thing” for Wildlife

According to most wildlife biologists, red oaks need to be planted at a higher frequency than their cousins the white oaks. So why not take it a step further and plant superior hybrid red oaks? Red hybrids occur naturally, but are difficult to find due to their rarity. Because they are crosses between two species of red oak, red oak hybrids often exhibit traits making them more desirable to wildlife- and the wildlifers who plant

Jim Shockey’s Greatest Hunt of Last Season

Hunting always has been my passion, but my new passion is hunting more. Last year I was on the road traveling all over the world for 305 days,including the time I spent at trade shows and consumer shows promoting hunting and working with my sponsors like Mossy Oak. So,those 305 days weren’t just days in the air or days in the woods. Some of that time was related to the hunting business, which I also

Jim Shockey’s Never-Ending Hunting Season

The only person who has hunted my Saskatchewan property for the last 2 years is my daughter Eva. Another reason I haven’t hunted Saskatchewan for deer in the last 2 years is that my dad passed away a couple of years ago, and I had hunted whitetails every year for 43 years with my dad. So, the last 2 years I've given my Saskatchewan deer property a time of silence, but things seem to be

God’s Plan for Me Has Been Bigger and Better than I Ever Imagined

I think one of the things missing in the outdoors is letting people with disabilities know that they're represented in the outdoor community, that the outdoor community very much wants them to be a part of the outdoor fraternity, and that there are many programs and hunting and fishing opportunities for them that they may not realize.

6 Reasons to Love Red Oaks

Red oaks will boost your ego with their fast growth, especially in the first few years of their life. This fast growth and resulting large canopy at a young age translates to them getting ahead of the competition, and heavy crops of acorns production when they are mature.

Ashlee Lundvall: My Passion for the Outdoors Doesn’t End When the Hunt Does

I'm also asked, “How did you get into hunting?” I guess I got into it backwards from how most people get into hunting. I had a good friend who was also in a wheelchair. He wanted to start a nonprofit organization and invite people with disabilities from all over the United States to come out to Wyoming and hunt. In 2008, we founded the Wyoming Disabled Hunters Association. I think the guys kind of wanted

Ashlee Lundvall: How I Redefined My Life to Participate in the Outdoors

I'm paralyzed from the waist down, but that hasn’t stopped me from hunting and fishing. Anytime I have to go over rugged terrain or creeks or up mountains, I use my Action TrackChair. This chair can stand me up, so I can fly fish or shoot standing up. With this chair, I can drive into water about 18-inches deep. If I have to make long casts, using the TrackChair makes fly fishing much easier, because

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
