Hunting Genes and Deer Poop
Base Camp Legends2 Feb 2012 | 8:55 amMy grandfather has a theory that hunting runs in the genes, and looking at the number of children and grandchildren of his that love hunting the same way he does it adds credibility to the theory, for sure. I know I’m thankful that my dad and granddad frequently made an effort to get me outside to enjoy the pursuit of game, and because of that I want to give the same effort for my children. It was with this in mind, as well as the fact that in case hunting is not genetic, I don’t want to take any chances, I decided a few weeks ago that we (of course I mean ‘I’) had spent… -
2012 Mathews Retailer Show Round-Up
Bowhunting Blog6 Feb 2012 | 5:53 amAfter my trip this past December to the Mathews Archery Retailer Show I was amazed at how innovative archery companies can be. With each passing season the new bowhunting and archery equipment that hits the market gets lighter, stronger and more versatile than ever before. Below are thirteen items from the show that I thought every diehard bowhunter would want to know about. The 2012 Tight Spot Quiver shown here is lighter than previous models which will work perfectly with the new Mathews Helim The Tight Spot quiver attaches and detaches from your bow… -
How to Shoot Through a Wire Fence
Digital Photography School9 Feb 2012 | 5:47 amStuck behind a wire fence when trying to shoot an interesting subject can be a pain. It’s a challenge most often faced at the zoo but you also come across it when shooting at some sporting events (car racing for example) or in other random circumstances (for example I recently was photographing some kids on a trampoline which had a mesh around it). Image by Doug Brown So how do you minimise the impact of the fence in your shots? Here’s a few quick tips: Switch to Manual Focusing – one challenge you may face shooting through any kind of fence is that your camera may not know… -

Wolves and Hypocrites
27 Jan 2012 | 9:54 amSince their introduction into Idaho in 1995, wolves have certainly been a polarizing topic for Idahoans. Hunters and ranchers tend to hate them, animal extremists love them. It occurred to me recently during a conversation with a friend, that I might be part of a hypocritical group that is, I am certain, full of many Idahoan hunters. This friend of mine is a large land owner near Council and was telling me that another friend of his was asking him if he would take him out to shoot a wolf some weekend. It never occurred to the would-be-hunter that wolves are not so easy to hunt that you… -
Foul Weather Hunters
23 Jan 2012 | 9:05 amA couple of minor events this past week have provided fodder for my blog today. First, I was watching a hunting video by the Huntin’ Fool Magazine people, and at the conclusion of a stone sheep hunt in the Northwest Territories, the hunter declared he was cold, wet, and miserable, but just experienced the time of his life. The other instance happened on Saturday when my wife and I went out to see my folks upon their return from whitetail hunting up north. Listening to their stories of enduring winds, heavy snow, and bitter cold, I found it amusing that they had obviously had an… -
Life’s Lessons Learned While Boiling Deer Skulls
13 Jan 2012 | 2:22 pmSometimes I’m guilty of beginning new adventures without thinking about where the new path might eventually lead, and thus, at some point of no return I begin to realize that the adventure that seemed to be nothing short of glorious does, indeed, have some downside. A couple weeks ago, I wrote about taking my wife deer hunting and her first buck. This past week I began to prep her deer skull for a european mount. If you’ve ever taken on this task, your nostrils are quite possibly tingling at this very moment, and sometime very soon the connection will be made and the proverbial… -
Hunting Mountain Whitetail
6 Dec 2011 | 10:25 amWe just returned from our annual whitetail hunt in central Idaho. This is a hunt that keeps us coming back for more even though we’ve never taken a big buck … we see the big ones but just haven’t been able to make it happen. I can’t even seem to get any video footage of the nice bucks we’ve seen… they just appear and disappear so quick! Last year a very nice mature buck came running into our setup but before we could even react he did a 360 in midair and was gone. the swirling mountain thermals must have given him a snortful of our lovely scent! It all…

Turkey Flies Through Window of Coke Delivery Truck
1 Feb 2012 | 9:08 amNow, having sworn off most beverages other than water, I still haven't forgotten that there are some of you who enjoy a good "sip" now and again. So, I couldn't resist the urge to share with you a small portion of "Wild Turkey and Coke" that you are unlikely to forget. The cool part is that you won't have to explain your actions to a significant other, and your head won't be pounding in the morning either. Sadly, I can't say the same for the particular turkey at the center of all of this attention. This is the last place you want find turkey feathers and glass. All kidding aside, the images… -
It Just Keeps Getting Better
28 Jan 2012 | 8:41 amIt has become an United Foundation For Disabled Archers (UFFDA) tradition for the participants of each hunt to walk around at the end of the year’s event scratching their heads mumbling to themselves about how they didn’t think it could get any better than this year. But sure enough, the next year comes and that hunt miraculously turns out to be by far the best one yet! Well rest assured that after reading and hearing reports from the 2011 Camp Wilderness and Camp Tesomas events that fine tradition has once again been carried on. This year’s events were the best ever… -
Post Season Training: Next Season Starts Now
25 Jan 2012 | 5:01 pmNow that most hunting seasons have closed, it is important to discuss a common “post-season” trap. And, while it may seem innocent in nature, make no mistake it is one that prevents a lot of bowhunters from reaching their maximum potential; with regard to bow shooting skills, number of tags filled and even overall physical fitness. I understand that after many long months chasing your favorite game animal the urge to “take it easy” for a while can be overwhelming. However, if you want next season to be better than last season, now is the absolute best time to work… -
Hunting Boots: Finding The Right Fit
24 Jan 2012 | 3:54 pmEach year hunters will spend thousands of dollars on outfitters, guns, and bows. They will research and spend hundreds of dollars on everything from calls, scents, to back packs; however the one item often over looked is proper foot wear. They will buy top of the line equipment from archery specialist at pro shops but will run to a big chain store to pick up a pair of hunting boots on sale, basing their boot selection just on price and looks. Even the United States Military under stands the importance of taking care of your feet. A solder is no good if he has a bad case of trench foot or feet…

How to Use Dome Diffuser to Eliminate Shadows and Harsh Light
8 Feb 2012 | 10:40 amA Guest Post by PhotographersOnUTube. One question I frequently get asked is how to get rid of shadows in the picture when the subject is close to a wall? Well, it depends on if the shadow is being created due to a specific angle of the speed light or you’re using some sort of a flash diffuser. A lot of photographers assume that the omni dome diffuser you get with your speed light is essential to making the light softer, which is not always true. In most cases that dome diffuser is used to spread the light in a very challenging lighting situation when you can’t bounce anything off the… -
Beginner’s Tip: Get Closer
8 Feb 2012 | 5:48 amI work with a lot of people just starting out in photography. People who want to move off of Auto mode and on to something more. And they show me their images, asking, “What can I do better?” I’ve started noticing a pattern in many of the images I have seen from new photography enthusiasts. It’s not absolute, but it is common enough that I write here today offering this bit of advice: Get closer. Here’s the pattern I see when I ask new photographers to photograph something of interest. I’ll illustrate the flow with photos most students start out with. First, they find something… -
Canon Update 3 Lenses including EF 24-70 F/2.8L II USM
7 Feb 2012 | 4:35 pmYesterday saw some excitement among our Nikon readers with the launch of the new Nikon D800 DSLR – but also announced yesterday were 3 new lenses from Canon. The main one of interest is the EF 24-70 F/2.8L II USM. Version I of this lens has always been a popular choice with photographers for quite a few years so an update is a logical one. The main updates included: More durable body Smaller Size (only slightly) Redesigned Optics New Zoom Lock lever to prevent damage in transit Unfortunately the update didn’t bring any Image Stabilisation to this lens – something that will… -
View a Short Film Shot on the New Nikon D800 DSLR
7 Feb 2012 | 4:10 pmWith the announcement of Nikon’s new D800 DSLR yesterday came a short film shot on the D800 that shows off some of the D800′s video shooting capabilities. The film is called ‘Joy Ride’ and was created by photographer – Sandro. The film showcases the D800′s ability to shoot in some tricky lighting conditions and situations (fast moving motorbikes, low light etc). Here it is: Also released by Sandro today was a behind the scenes video. It doesn’t contain a heap of technical info by will give you a feel for how it was shot. Post originally from: Digital…

"WAR IN THE WOODS" -- "Wild Justice" Game Wardens On The Road About Marijuana Grows On Public Wildlands
23 Jan 2012 | 8:45 pmTestifying before the US Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control On December 7, 2011, US Forest Service Chief David Ferrell stated that in 2011 “Marijuana cultivation occurred on 67 National Forests in 20 states.” And this is just a drop in the bucket. Large marijuana gardens are also found on BLM, US National Park, state and regional parks and state and national Wildlife Refuges. A far cry from the “hippie gardens” of the 60’s and 70’s, today’s pot gardens on public lands are thousands of plants and almost entirely the work of international… -
Hunting Alone - Jim’s Story by Roger Hurst
11 Jan 2012 | 11:00 pmDid you know that according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation 14% of hunters hunt alone. Are you one of those 14%? I am! I wrote an article a few weeks ago titled: Hunting Deer/Elk/Bear Alone - In the Glacier Peak Wilderness of Washington State, where I brought attention to a recent elk hunter dyeing while hunting alone near Mt St. Helens. I went on to explain how I had hunted alone in the Wilderness area several times for a mule deer buck and didn't have any problems. Well this story is about my friend Jim Williams. Jim is an avid hunter, having taken several deer,… -
Big Game Forever Action Notice - Wolf Wars

We need your help to return wolves to state management in yet another state. Here is what is happening. US Fish and Wildlife Service's public comment period for Wyoming's wolf-delisting closes in two days, January 13, 2012. Anti-sportsmen from all over America have been working hard to post comments in an attempt to derail the return of wolves to state management. They are working hard to outnumber comments from the good… -
My last Junior Hunt by Greg Hubbell, Jr.
10 Jan 2012 | 1:08 amJunior hunts are the best opportunity to get kids out into the field for a taste of the great sport of hunting. Most states have set dates, whether they be before the season starts or the weekend after the season ends, just for junior hunters alone. This is to give juniors a better chance of success with fewer people out in the field hunting wild game. Of course a junior needs to be accompanied by an adult with a valid hunting license, but only the junior can hunt. My last junior hunt happened to be one of the best hunts I have ever been on. It was mid July. I was in Houston, Texas for…

What Values Are You Communicating?
30 Jan 2012 | 6:20 amRecently I executed an employee engagement survey across a client organization. When I compared the senior executive team with the blended front-line results I discovered a very troubling outcome. The senior executives were almost unanimous in the belief that they had done an excellent job of communicating the core values of the organization — yet results from the front-line indicated exactly the opposite. Even worse, some of the comments indicated that the values the front-line were observing were inconsistent with the “advertised” values. Too many organizations believe… -
Is Your Leadership Limiting Your Organizations Ability to Grow?
12 Jan 2012 | 8:43 amThis is the first in our series of articles that looks at leadership capacity and its impact on organizational growth and transformation. The full series will be available for download as a white paper once it is completed. Leadership capacity is more than simply skill development; it’s about performance, growth, transformation and change. For the purpose of our discussion in this series of articles, let’s define it as; “Leadership Capacity is the skilful use of leadership attributes for the growth and development of ourselves, our colleagues and our organization”. -
Are You Really Incubating Fresh Ideas and Thinking?
3 Jan 2012 | 11:46 amAre you finding that you are not hearing the fresh ideas and new thinking in your organization that you would like. Are you often faced with sitting through presentations that sound like the same ideas rehashed again and again. Well maybe you are burying good ideas under a bad process. Before you hear their ideas — are your teams spending time getting them “right”? Are they vetted, reviewed, revised and debated around in circles until all the edginess and excitement has been “fine-tuned” right out of existence. Imagine if ideas for the iPhone had been fine-tuned… -
Start, Stop, Do Different
1 Dec 2011 | 6:41 amMany people are familiar with the expression, Start, Stop, Do Different from personal evaluation processes — those regularly scheduled reviews by our supervisor. They will often use this outline to give us feedback of our performance. But I also think it should be used more regularly, both personally and with colleagues. No leader improves without feedback and personal introspection. So rather than waiting for a formal review by a supervisors, consider asking your colleagues these questions. What should I start doing? What activities or behaviours should I add into my daily activities… -
Best Practices Are Not Always Best Practice
17 Nov 2011 | 9:31 amBest Practices. Another great business term we all know and love. We love to throw out in meetings because it sounds good and rarely will anyone disagree. It’s safe. But is it wise. Who said that adopting best practices is right for your business? Maybe it’s the wrong thing to do in your case. Sacrilege? Maybe, but here are few thoughts to consider before deciding whether to adopt best practices or develop your own best practices. Are They Transferable? If the best practices are to work effectively in your business, then the businesses have to have similarities. Do you share…
