What I love about the CanCooker is it allows you to cook a lot of food without a lot of work. CanCooker makes a complete meal in about one hour. What is really cool is the CanCooker works on any heat source – campfire, camp stove, propane stove, charcoal or gas grill, turkey fryer, stove top, etc. and it’s easy to clean up!

Bill Custer Makes a 60 Yard Shot on an Elk

The huge bull kept staring at me, but I was wearing Mossy Oak Break-Up, and he never could seem to decide what I was. Then he took-off at a gallop, but because he was so big, he didn’t jump the fence. He just seemed to step over it.

Change of Seasons

We had him! Chad McKibben, John Copas and I, sat huddled around Chad’s computer looking at pictures of a beautiful nine-point buck that came to feed as regularly as clockwork throughout the summer months. Game camera photos offered us a window into the buck’s life and helped us plot his movements with great precision. Now the only dilemma that remained was to decide which of us would have an opportunity to take him on opening

Bill Custer Passes Up an Elk and Later Takes Him

I’d learned that most of the elk in this section of land came to wallows between 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm. So, I didn’t go to a tree stand over a wallow in the mornings to hunt. I arrived at my tree stand about 3:00 pm. On this particular hunt when I got to my tree stand, I became fidgety. I’m not a tree stand hunter. I’m a spot-and-stalk hunter primarily. But since I’d seen

Perfect Practice

Are you one of those bowhunters who waits until the week before the season begins to start shooting? Bad idea! An archer owes it to the game they’re pursuing as well as every other bowhunter in the world to be as lethal as possible BEFORE stepping foot afield. Plus, set aside bowhunting, archery is a fun sport in its own right. Practice until shooting becomes second nature. Practice enough so that when the moment of

Bill Custer Relives His Five Bull Elk Circus

This section of Colorado where I hunt homes a lot of range cattle too, besides wild animals. When I arrived at one of my favorite spots to hunt elk, a small herd of cattle was there. I just stood still, not wanting to spook the cattle that potentially could spook any elk in the vicinity, if the cattle stampeded. I decided to let the cattle feed on through that area. As the cattle were leaving,

The Elk That Fell Out of the Sky

Finally the bull stopped in a small aspen grove about 100-yards below me. I watched him dig his brow tines and pull up roots. He put on a really-good show. After a while, I realized I just couldn’t get that bull to move and come any closer to me. I gave a few cow calls, and the bull vanished, after walking off to the right. He was silent.
