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.

Brandon Scherff Has a Hunting Dream Not Yet Realized

NFL's Brandon Scherff Tells Why He Likes to Hunt

I live in a very noisy environment. There's a lot of noise in the city where I live, and if you’ve ever been to a football game, you know the noise is really intense.

I guess the one thing I like the most about hunting

Brandon Scherff’s Biggest Buck

The biggest buck I ever took was a 7-pointer that would score in the high 130s or low 140s on Boone and Crockett. However, I've missed a lot of big deer with my bow. If I'm real honest and tell the truth, I still get buck fever. When a big buck is coming in, I get so nervous I hardly can pull my bow back. For some reason, when I get to full draw, my

Mark Hanson Says Bull Elk May Circle You

The area that I drew a tag for this hunt was one of the regions that was hard to draw. This bull elk I took grossed 363 and netted about 347. The area where I took this bull was close to where I’d called in the two bulls for the two hunters within 5 minutes of each other. I had left my vehicle and was walking down a ridge, trying to talk to an elk.
