Kenny’s second bear in two consecutive years. Hunting close to his house in Northern Minnesota, Kenny put the work in to establish a bait site in a new area. It paid off big time. Two bears showed up on stand, and there were even more coming in afterwards!
I love ice fishing for crappies. They’re generally pretty easy to catch, provide good action, and excellent table fare. I’ve made a couple videos over the years chasing these little guys through the ice. This first video is a pretty good representation of my general strategy when crappie fishing through the ice.

Sturgeon Bay, WI is known for about three things: 1) Big Smallmouth 2) Big Walleye 3) Whitefish. My dad and I went up there to try ice fishing for the third of those. The rig is a little unique. It’s your standard barrel swivel and leader with a teardrop jig tied on… except you also […]

By Shooting in RAW, and with a flat image (start with a standard profile and do the following), Contrast -3 Saturation -1 Sharpness -3 You can leverage the information captured in the image to reproduce what […]
Filming a deer hunt (or turkey or bear or anything) can be hard. Filming yourself on a hunt is even tougher. Often times it’s not necessarily seeing an animal with a camera in the tree that’s the problem, it’s a lack of general comfort and knowledge with the equipment. My goal with these videos is […]
