I’ve seen this on various forums over the years and heard it in many conversations. Mobile hunting has been the trend for some time now, as the popularity of saddles has exploded and climbing sticks and the lie have become lighter. You’ll find no shortage of YouTube videos on the matter either. Yet when it comes to scouting, not much focuses on that aspect during the season.

Man... that was a real testament to the power of fellowship. Everything that could go wrong that morning went wrong. Took a while getting up the tree to set up and I was sweating bullets. A doe snuck in on me and thankfully I got a good shot off and then realized I had no clue how to gut this deer.

Here at Equalized Outdoors, as we rolled into the season, we created a series of saddle-hunting videos for the average hunter, especially those of us on the larger side, like this author. Traditional coverage tends to focus on the outliers in the woods, and we want to plug at least a few of those holes. That said, we’ve shown you how we climb the tree, how we hang our gear in said tree, and now we finally finished it off with how to get said gear to said tree. Education is

The idea of hunting different turkey species not only in different states...but different habitats...appeals to me GREATLY.

"I’ve been hunting for as long as I can remember. My granddad was—and still is—a true outdoorsman, and I was blessed to be introduced to the outdoors at a very young age. "He started me and my brothers out hunting small game. We always had a pack of beagles growing up, and when Granddad took us rabbit hunting, it was never just about rabbit hunting. We were shaking squirrel nests, walking the hardwoods, kicking briar patches and occasionally shaking a raccoon or two out of

I finally got the Day Six Verse broadhead out to the range, and the test didn’t go quite the way I expected. The plan was straightforward: shoot the practice head, the actual broadhead, and a field point at 20 yards, then stretch things out a little farther. I wanted to see how they grouped and what blade deployment looked like in a foam target.

I always wanted to hunt elk as lifelong goal/bucket list hunt. One of my best friends from kindergarten moved out in Idaho and kept telling me I should try to come elk hunting. We had talked about it for years...but back in 2022, I had decided to save up and plan for a hunt in 2024. Add to that...I knew I needed to be fit. So, I started pushing hard in the gym...getting my weight down and building back my cardio/endurance.

For some reason, though, when it comes to the fall, there’s much less conversation out there, even though the issue is just as real. Especially for my fellow bowhunters out there. Most archery seasons kick off around the South in what can only be described as summertime temperatures.

I’d accumulated years of armchair knowledge just from being around Steve, reading viewer comments, and fielding questions for him. Eventually I got the chance to get out in the field and hunt myself.

I enjoy deer hunting because there are so many factors that have to go right in order for you to be successful. You must scout, make time to seed food plots, choose correct trails to place trail cameras on, and most importantly hang up stands for the best chance at success.

Outdoor Afro is a national not-for-profit organization that celebrates and inspires Black connections and leadership in nature. I founded Outdoor Afro in 2009 because the prevailing narrative at the time suggested that Black people weren’t connected to the outdoors. That simply didn’t reflect my life or the experiences of so many Black families and communities I knew.

If you care about your turkey population the best thing you could do is buy a few DP’s (Dog Proof Traps), buy a few foot holds, and protect your flock.

’m not here to convince you which hunting system is best. If you’re doing it safely, that’s all that matters to me. For me, however, safety means a tree saddle rather than a climber or hang-on stand. That’s not to say those methods are unsafe, as plenty of hunters use them successfully, but they just aren’t my cup of tea.

I was a classically trained chef and loved the outdoors my whole life. So, I combined the two and figured I wanted to be a part of the food chain from the beginning and understand what really goes into putting meat on the table

This weeks Hunter Spotlight Series takes us to none other than Virginia the home of Equalized Outdoors Name: Dontae M. Thorne Hometown: Ettrick, Virginia Currently Residing: Richmond, Virginia Going fishing with Dontae! How long have you been hunting? "I didn’t grow up with the same kind of hunting background that a lot of people in the outdoor industry did.

After what seems like one of the longest Julys in recent memory, August is finally here. The NFL preseason begins in August, and for us as hunters, many of us are in our own versions of outdoor training camps, if you will. That also means one final thing. Testing time is almost over. It’s almost time to see if our work is going to pay off in the field. For me, that means my Mathews ARC 34 is now in its final form. Those stock

I respect the level of difficulty that it takes to hit a small target that can fly up to 55 mph. I like the amount of action, with a high daily limit of 15 doves. I relish making dove (instead of chicken) nuggets out of them to eat. My other favorite wild game to hunt is turkeys, pheasants, and predators."

In a world full of fast-paced, want-it-now attitudes, fishing can force us to slow down and be present. Those emails can suddenly wait, and unless you’re looking for it to take a picture, you’ll probably have a hard time locating your phone. And the best part about that is the fact that it’s okay! No matter how busy we all are, we deserve the space to disconnect and just enjoy our surroundings.

The week's Hunter Spotlight Series sheds a little light on how a grandfather's influence inspired his grandson's love of the outdoors.
