It was the rut. I have a 190” buck of a lifetime around my farm I expect to show any day now.  I am in Washington, DC, wearing city clothes, dress shoes, and using scented soap!  Was “my buck” going to show up like I thought while I was here? 

The Wallowas offer an adventure that is challenging and rewarding. The person you are when you take your first step on the trail is not the same one who takes the last step concluding the journey.

Smallmouth bass are ambush predators and will eat just about any living thing.  Whether using artificial lures or live bait, casting into eddy currents, pools, and drop-offs will nearly guarantee an encounter with a smallmouth.

While red is a common light for hunters, green light is just as effective.  Deer and other mammals see movement more than color.   This makes DEX FingerLight even more effective because of its wearable versatility.  Hunters wear it under their fingers on the palm side to hide and deflect the beam toward the ground, treestand step, a weapon, or a decoy.  DEX can be quickly turned on and off with the same hand where it is being worn.
