  • Great show!

    Love the perspectives and it pains me a bit but can’t be denied. The outdoors needs to be more welcoming to all and there should never be a barrier. I have several friends who don’t have the same color of skin as I do, but we are one in the same and the passion is equal. Keep up the good work!

N.F.C. - Watering Holes & Mindset Shifts
Q: Why is moon phase something you track and use in planning hunts?

N.F.C. - Watering Holes & Mindset Shifts
Q: With that said, call your shot, what does the plan look like for killing this buck, time of year, stand, terrain, and hunt timing?
Arron envisions an October 28th evening hunt in a pinch point with a scrape and a cold front arriving around that time, betting on the deer using a familiar trail. He expects the deer to come in during a setup that minimizes disturbance and leverages weather patterns to his advantage.
Antler Up - Stop Guessing: Using Data to Become a Better Archer w/ Christian Kelly
