Kelsy Robbins Becomes an Outdoor TV Co-Host

After Cody and I got married, I became more involved in the TV show. At first I was featured in one or two hunts every now and then, and I hosted a small segment of the show. But as time passed, Cody wanted me more and more involved in the show. Cody wanted me to go on more trips with him. He didn’t want me staying at home. However, there are so many husband and

Tips for Eliminating Scent Transfer

A great deal has been published about the whitetails’ sense of smell and how incredibly sensitive it is. There’s no doubt, that’s one serious snoot! Much has also been written about using products like Scent Killer to reduce odors on our person, clothes and other gear while hunting, but less has been told about “scent transfer” and the smells you may be leaving behind.

Kelsy Robbins' Hunting Love Story

I first started hunting with Cody when I was 19, and he told me he loved me and wanted to marry me when I was 24. We finally got married in 2012 when I was 29. From the beginning of my relationship with Cody until now has to be the most weird relationship I ever have been in previously. But our relationship has been one of the most fun parts of my life.

The Hunt for the 363-Point Bull

As I've mentioned, I took my first big bull that netted 360 points in Unit 27. I didn’t draw Unit 27 again until 2008. Because I had hunted Unit 27 before, I had developed some places that were my go-to places. I'd either taken bulls there before, or I’d seen bulls at these places in past years. I like to call a lot and locate as many elk as I can when I'm hunting.

360-Plus Bull Elk with a Bow

I've taken all the elk I've killed in Arizona with my bow. In 1999, I took my biggest bull elk, but I killed my first elk in 1984. He was a small bull, and I was hunting in Unit 5B southon the east side of Nevada, near the New Mexico border. Normally, we don’t see many elk over there - not because the elk don’t live there, but because the vegetation is so thick, and

Hunting Mule Deer and Cow Elk

After 35 years of putting in for a mule deer tag in Wildlife Unit 12B on the Kaibab Plateau, I finally drew a late season (November) tag for a rifle hunt - not a bowhunt. We’re only allowed to take one mule deer per year, whether you take the animal with a bow or with a rifle.So, this year I’ll be concentrating on hunting a mule deer in Unit 12B.

Beating the Dreaded “October Lull”

If you listen to the chat in the local archery shop about a supposed “lull” that happens during the hunting season you might think it’s useless to venture forth in pursuit of whitetails during this time. It even has a name, in the northern half of the country it’s called the “October lull,” but southern hunters from Georgia to Texas also believe this mysterious phase happens, just later into the season.

Outhunt Public Land Hunters

One of my most-memorable Coues deer hunts occurred a few years ago. I had gone in to the mountains, scouted and set-up a tree stand at about 6,000 feet elevation. I was about 1/2-hour late leaving the house the morning I had planned to hunt from that stand. The sky was beginning to brighten as I was walking to my stand, parallel to a fence line about 25 yards to my left. As I walked

Canadian Mule Deer

I believe we have some of the best mule deer hunting in the world here in Canada. We have a lot of non-typical big mule deer here in Saskatchewan. The good news is: there's not very much hunting pressure on the mule deer up here. I shot the pending world record mule deer taken with a bow in 2011. This buck scored 294 points and netted 288 points. Because I didn’t take the velvet off
