Release Date: May 28,

-On the Trail …  The Not so Basic Basics of Bowhunting was a
blast, check it out on Youtube, and the deadline for the draw is coming up in 3
states out west…
-(4:20) Question of
the week from Kade
What
licensing/permits/classes do I need to get started? 
We dive into all the
things you’re going to need to get out there for your first hunt.  We all know about hunter ed classes, but some
states require more and some tags have different requirements, so we go through
how to figure out what exactly will be required to get out there.
-(12:14) Exercise of
the week – RUCKING!!!
            If there’s one thing that signals
the start of summer training for hunting it’s RUCKNIG, and it’s time to get to
kicking your own butt so you are ready for the fall.
-(18:30) Commandment #3 – Always approach downwind.  In the cool of the day move uphill; in the
heat of the day move downhill.
            One thing
that can’t be talked about enough when discussing big game hunting is the
wind.  It’s vital to OBEY, defined as
comply with the command, direction, or request of; submit to the authority of,
the wind.  And this law brings up not
only the predominant wind direction but leads us into a discussion of thermal
wind, storm wind and how water affects wind movement in the woods.
