Pliny and Daniel were drawn for a South Texas public land hunt where they were allowed to take whitetail deer, feral hogs, and exotic Nilgai Antelope. This Is the first episode of a three-part series telling the stories of the hunt, including the triumphs, failures, and funny moments along the way. Stay tuned for the two other episodes that follow in this series.

Pliny met up with the guys from the Hooked Hunting youtube channel for a rugged archery elk hunt in the backcountry of Idaho. This was a six-day hunt with everything on our backs. Archery equipment, public land, no outfitter, we were determined to get it done in the most rugged way possible.

While I did not end up narrowing a bull, this still turned out to be a powerful and challenging adventure in the mountains. In this episode, Pliny tells the story of the hunt, with a bit of reflection along the way.

Daniel and Pliny reflect on a recent adventure where they hunted hogs, tested new gear, shot long range precision rifles, dodged thunderstorms, shot pistols, and ate great food. Add in a bit of ranch work on cameras and feeders on a new permission property in west Texas and it made for a great weekend!

I just shot in my first long range precision "sniper" style shooting match. I don't really see myself as a competitor, but this seemed like a fun way to give myself some pressure to continue to improve my shooting in the off-season and to continue to learn about long-range shooting.

In this episode, I describe the match, my own personal performance, and what I learned from it. I hope this inspires you to get out and shoot more, and maybe even fine some form of shooting competition (pistol, rifle, bow, or shotgun) in your area!

Daniel and Pliny get together over beers to discuss a rifle build concept - combining a lightweight hunting rifle with a match-accurate long-range precision rifle. The rifle on the table is a Christensen MPR with a Nightforce NX8.

In this episode, I discuss some principles of Everyday Carry and how a mysterious chemical called tritium can enhance the capabilities of everyday objects by making them more visible in the dark. Tritium is highly regulated, but is ultimately very safe and has a lot of great applications.

This one is way out in left field, but I know many in my audience are patriots and preppers, and generally concerned about what is happening to this country and what is happening to our money. I may do more topics like this, or I may never cover it again, all depending on response. Eight months ago, there was a national coin shortage. We have nearly all forgotten about it. Why did it happen? will it happen again? Are we being told the truth?

In this episode, Pliny recaps a recent hog hunt and then talks through the anti-gun executive actions just announced by the White House. These actions will not improve public safety, and will not reduce crime. To gun owners, some of these are completely meaningless, and some are extremely worrisome, likely another step in restricting law-abiding and safe gun owners in the United States of America.

I quit my job in the hunting industry. Before starting my new gig, I took a few days to go enjoy the outdoors on my Southwest Texas hunting lease. I looked for turkeys, had a great hike, shot my rifles out to 600 yards, killed a boar with my bow, weathered a hail storm and cooked some good camp food. This was a great reminder of what it is all about.

Pliny and Daniel travel out to the rocky Trans-Pecos region of West Texas for the last weekend of Texas general deer season. This is a new spot that neither has visited before, with a tiny bit of e-scouting, the guys hope to knock down some deer in this last hurrah at the end of the season.
