Hunting and Outdoor Adventure Under the Son

“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” – John Muir

From drop tines to blood trails, sight pins to cross hairs. We not only highlight hunting strategies, but also the lighter side of the outdoor lifestyle – the nuances that make it fun, memorable and part of our DNA. Within this framework, we also aim to celebrate God’s creation through the lens of our hunting and the outdoor experiences.
