The backs of my hands felt raw as the raspberry whips slid across them. I kept scanning for fresh tracks as I slid into the next patch of softwood, trying to find sign of one that had been out feeding in the night. Spotting a fresh set, I took off with a renewed sense of purpose, anxious to catch up...

I adore the pursuit. To take a track in the snow, determine who made it, then follow where he goes until some end is reached...nightfall, a blown stalk, a buck taken... that to me is nothing more or less than the truth. It is existence, boiled down to the barest essentials. A chase, truly. No food p...

If you're like me, you hunt hard for several weeks during the tracking season. If we end up with tracking snow, I may hunt for 30 days over 6 weeks. Averaging somewhere between 5-10 miles per day means that the stress on my legs accumulates, my body gets fatigued and my mind can lose its edge. A...

Dad and I arrived in Jackman on Sunday of the 4th week ahead of a snowstorm. We got our grocery shopping done and settled in early. We spent some time doing some map staring- I last hunted in Jackman 2 years ago, so wasn't sure what had changed and whre we should head. We picked a few spots for ...

Timmy shares some critical knowledge of how he analyzes a new piece of hunting ground in the Big Woods. Based on his success over the years, it is probably a good idea to you should file away this information with the hopes you might face this challenge this fall and know exactly how Timmy...

The 200 pound standard for a New England buck is one that many trackers chase, including me. In a couple of states, crossing that line will earn you a patch, hence the phrase "Patch Buck". But sometimes life tosses you some twists and turns, and you end up following a different set of stan...

Our Roots in Conservation
A Little History
Hunting, for most of the 2.5 million years of human history, was done for survival. About 13,000 years ago, with the advent of agriculture in many locales, hunting became a way to augment the food we grew. Within the last 500 years or so, a...
