Hunting out of your backpack is something every hunter should try at some point. The endeavor isn’t easy. Day after day of hunting in the backcountry with only your backpack will mentally and physically wear on you. If you haven’t trained in some way to handle the extra stress that a backpack hunt will put […]
Our scouting before season was paying off, as we marked rubs, fresh sign, and wallows on our GPS. The next morning we scouted another new area and found plenty of fresh rubs and beds, where large bulls had pissed and marked their home. The area was looking good and we headed back into town to […]
We’re fresh to the antelope hunting game. This was our second year but we both were able to fill our tags with a bow. It wasn’t easy but is definitely achievable for the everyday hunter. Rather then tell you my story of my hunt I figured I’d write down my advice, tips, and insight on […]
Looking for a A+ quality taxidermist? These guys do some killer work and have Travis’ wolf and spring bear. We can’t wait to get both back and if we didn’t run our own business we’d probably be trying to work out there. -Zack

Seacat Creative owner, Mark Seacat, asked Zack and myself to put together a Sitka film from the footage he shot on Carmen Island with the Foss family. Mark captured some decent footage.

Words by Anthony VonRuden Last light was fading as I left our viewpoint and made my way over to the heavy pack that I had become all too familiar with over the course of this six day hunt. Another day had passed and we still were in search of another black bear. Our Idaho backcountry […]
A small mouse slowly paddles across a wide flat of dark water after mistakenly falling in. He’s half way across when all of a sudden the water erupts as a large brown thrashes through the surface and attacks the helpless prey. Dinner has just been had and this brown slowly lurks back to his spot […]
