Happy November, everyone!
The leaves are changing, and depending on where you live, maybe it’s officially long sleeve and shorts season. Or better yet, hoodie in the morning, sweating by noon season. You know the one.
Hope you all had a great Halloween and ate plenty of candy by the handful. What did we dress up as, you may ask? Soggy hunters. Meaning we spent the evening sitting in the pouring rain, somewhere up in a tree, waiting on a whitetail.
All jokes aside, we’re wishing you a successful November outdoors and a month full of good hunts, good company and plenty of memories with friends and family.
We've got a little something for everyone today, from duck camp cooking and a band making some noise in country music to new KUIU apparel, a closer look at deer scent science and a trail camera review worth checking out.
