PREPARE

Success in bowhunting starts long before you step into the woods. I don’t leave anything to chance, and neither should you. From dialing in my gear to fine-tuning my shooting and scouting new locations, preparation is everything. In this section, I’ll show you exactly how I train, practice, and plan ahead so when it’s time to hunt, I’m confident and ready.

GEAR

The right gear won’t make you a better hunter—but the wrong gear can ruin a hunt. I’ve tested a ton of bowhunting gear over the years, and in this section, I give you straightforward, no-BS reviews on what works, what doesn’t, and how to choose the best setup for your needs.

PLAN

A successful hunt isn’t just about time in the stand—it’s about having the right strategy before you ever climb a tree. From understanding deer movement to mapping your hunts, this section covers how to plan smarter, scout effectively, and set yourself up in the right spot at the right time.

SCOUT

If you’re not scouting, you’re just hoping for luck—and that’s not a strategy. Scouting is what separates successful bowhunters from those who just sit and wait. I focus on finding high-percentage hunting areas, reading sign, and understanding deer movement so that when the season opens, I know exactly where I need to be. In this section, I’ll break down how I scout smarter using maps, in-the-field techniques, and key deer behavior patterns to put myself in the right place at the right time.

HUNT

This is what it all comes down to—making the shot count when it matters most. Whether you’re setting up for the perfect ambush, working a wind advantage, or waiting for the right moment to draw, this section breaks down real hunting scenarios and proven tactics that will make you more effective in the field.
