00:00:00 Speaker 1: The plan was simple a week of elk hunting in Montana’s backcountry, but somewhere between the trailhead into the Crazy Mountains and the first snowfall, Aaron Hedges vanished. His friend said he’d gone off on his own, and searchers later found his boots neatly placed beside a firing. What happened next would baffle investigators and fuel a decade of theories about how and why Aaron died within a quarter mile of being rescued. That’s next on Blood Trails. There are many strange things about the disappearance of Aaron Hedges, but one of the strangest is why he…

When it all hits the fan and the grid is gone for whatever reason, be it EMP, all out nuclear exchange, a hurricane, or possibly a tornado, snow knocking down trees, or as we say up here in the interior of Alaska the four reasons power goes out: it’s either too hot, too cold, too wet, or the dawgs pee on the phone pole, and when that happens, we are now all equally being given a ride back in time … a time of no lights to just switch on, no medical life sustaining devices, and now it’s “game-on”, folks.…

Selecting the right shotshell for ducks, geese, and pheasants can be a daunting task. Not only are there numerous options to choose from, but there’s also considerable misinformation or “marketing speak” that can mislead hunters.One of the best shotshell selection resources for waterfowl and upland hunters is Tom Roster’s non-toxic lethality chart. Roster is a ballistics expert who has extensively tested shotshells for decades. I don’t have the credentials of Roster, but I have hunted with (and patterned) a wider variety of shotshells than most over the last 20 years. Here’s what I have found works best.Shooting Inside 35 YardsA…
