My Turn

August 27, 2010

With Cole’s pronghorn down and two birds killed with one stone (his first big game archery kill and a TV show) I had no stress to shoot another pronghorn. We’d give it another day, maybe two and then wrap the trip as successful. My first day with my Mathews bow in hand turned out to [...]

Hunting on TV: Good or Bad?

June 23, 2010

The new show I’ve been working on for the past several months is about to launch on the Pursuit channel this weekend. If you have nothing going on Sunday evening, tune in 8 p.m. (Eastern). It’s also got me thinking again about hunting on television and what was once entertainment, has somehow turned into a [...]

April 7, 2010

I don’t think I shared this with you yet, but I’m going to be working on another show that will be appearing this fall on the Pursuit Channel. Don’t stop watching North American Hunter TV on Versus. I’ll still be helping out the gang there, but I’ll also be expending energy toward this new show [...]

It's a Wrap

February 19, 2010

We wrapped the latest edition of “You Call The Shots” in record time. It went more smoothly than creamy-style peanut butter thanks to the great production crew at North American Hunter. I actually had a bad feeling when my trip kicked off with a series of unlucky omens. For starters, the flight crew failed to [...]

Happy Anniversary

February 3, 2010

Happy anniversary! What’s the hoopla about? It’s the one-year anniversary of the launch of this blog thanks to the good folks at North American Hunter.
Who would have believed I’d still have a platform to blog about everything from firearm rights to raising baby skunks, or nationwide whitetail tactics to my son’s first buck.
When I look [...]

Close Encounter

November 25, 2009

The rut is still on and I proved it the last few days by rattling in a bunch of bucks. The result is a great show for NAH TV for the 2010 season. I teamed up with NAH TV producer Melissa Bachman and she worked hard to capture it all.
If you want to have calling [...]

Can You Take One More Step Please?

September 25, 2009

I love elk hunting, but I’ve coined a new phrase for the event: frustratingly fun. Don’t try to steal it. It’s mine. I spent the last few days in Colorado trying to get an elk to stand in an opening long enough to cut loose an arrow. To get the job done I teamed up [...]

Hunting Pronghorn on TV

September 11, 2009

I’m writing this blog from somewhere north of Newell, S.D. It’s my second pronghorn hunt of the year, but the first filmed hunt and I’m partnered up with my good friend Lonnie Garland. Lonnie is a full-time video producer for the North American Hunting Club, and he and I have shared many adventures in the [...]

Another Day at the Office(Yeah, But What An Office!)

March 6, 2009

When I stepped off the airplane at the Atlanta International Airport at midnight earlier this week, the wind chill took my breath away. When I left home it was 66 in Wyoming, but when I landed Atlanta was in the 20s. So much for an escape from winter.
A few hours later the warmth of friends, [...]

On the Fly

February 17, 2009

I’m writing this as I fly back from the set of You Call the Shots. It reminds me of why I don’t fly any more than I have to these days. I forgot it was President’s Day weekend, but gobs of other folks didn’t.
The security lines were backed up with dozens of people in a [...]

It’s that time of year again. The time of year when I get together with other North American Hunter staff and alumni to film the popular “You Call the Shots” segments for North American Hunter Television.
Since North American Hunter is based in Minnesota we are relegated to meeting in the land that the movie “Fargo” [...]

Dates: Nov. 6-12
Outfitter: Gametrails Lodge
