CarbonTV | Ultimate Online Resource for Hunting Shows

Do you love watching hunting shows, or have a particular show you love to watch, but you don't have cable or get a certain channel? Since about May, I stopped receiving cable to save on some money, but in turn, not getting to watch the Sportsmans Channel or Outdoor Channel was killing me. I had heard of CarbonTV before, but never really thought too much of it. That was a mistake. If you are a deer junkie as I am, CarbonTV is a must have, and is a great way to get that whitetail fix while counting down the days until opener in your state. 

The 5 Best Mature Buck States to DIY Hunt in September

The 5 Best Mature Buck States to DIY Hunt in September

Bowhunting whitetails is my greatest passion in life. For most of you reading this, I would assume that line of thought probably falls into your belief as well. I absolutely love the chess match that one plays when trying to hunt and ultimately harvest a mature buck. My favorite time of the year is hunting in September, because I can pattern and really learn how a deer lives in the summer, and then apply it to hunting him early in the season while he is still on that summer pattern. More often than not, when a buck sheds his velvet, there is a change in his testosterone levels. This usually goes hand in hand with a change in home range. This can take place anytime within a couple weeks of the velvet coming off the antlers, which usually occurs sometime in the first week or two of September. Based on that notion, most bucks home range will change sometime at the end of September, or very beginning of October.

The 5 Best Hunting Podcasts 2016

Podcasts are a great way to get that whitetail fix, or to soak in hunting information. I personally enjoy listening to podcasts because I don't have to stop what I'm doing to read a magazine or watch a TV show. It gives me the ability to digest information while driving, working out, mowing the lawn, walking the dog, etc. etc. Simply plug in your headphones, turn your favorite podcast on, and your ready to go. With the 2016 hunting season almost upon us, here is my top 5 (in no order) hunting podcasts to listen to this year.

Sometimes the days can drag on when it's not actually deer season. How do you get your whitetail fix when your craving the days of sitting in a deer stand? I know for me personally, I try to soak in as much as I can. I'm constantly reading books and magazines, and watching TV and web shows. I have found that there is a lot of dramatized material in the hunting industry these days. But there is a lot of good information out there as well. I'm going to go over some of my favorites. Do you agree with me?

Five Hunting Apps That Can Be Game Changers

Five Hunting Apps That Can Be Game Changers

Remember back in the old days when you would watch the weather channel in the morning to find out what the days outlook would be while hunting? And then you would have a flagging tape trail to your deer stand while holding a compass? Along with that, the only way you knew what kind of deer activity other people were experiencing was by word of mouth. I sure don't! I'm not old enough to have experienced that type of hunting but I've heard plenty about how it used to be back in the day. In this day and age, apps are everywhere. There are so many hunting apps out there; how do you know what is helpful and what is junk? I've listed five apps here that I use, which I think can be extremely beneficial to your hunting and scouting efforts.
