FLOOD WATERS | New Film Release

Trekking Poles for Hunting

In the past I had seen only hunters in the high country using trekking poles for sheep hunts. I never really thought they would benefit my everyday hunting endurance and performance.

The elk would be more visible but also much more educated. The name of the game would be spot-and-stalk, which was fine with me. When we […]
