Modern whitetail hunters worship treestands like they’re God’s gift to deer hunting, but plenty of hunters have killed deer with their boots on the ground. Just because those old-timers who chain-smoked in red plaid decided to hunt at eye level doesn’t make it outdated.It can be a great strategy when you need to move fast and stay flexible. Luckily, it doesn’t demand much. As long as you understand the wind direction, scent (definitely ditch the Camels), and you have a good grip on the terrain, you can get some of the best shot opportunities with your boots firmly planted on…

00:00:00 Speaker 1: You’re going on a western hunt, get ready physically mentally and find a team. Find the group of guys, girls, whatever that’ll push you.

And then if you can daily do a little check in, you know, we’re all better together, stronger together. And so find a group of group of people that are going to push you physically out here…
It is a military conundrum for the ages. The infantry demands more firepower and receives the death-dealing engine known as the machine gun. Shortly after the first bursts are fired, the tired infantrymen exclaim, “This gun is too heavy!” and work proceeds to create a lighter, easily portable variant. When the new, lighter firearm reaches the troops, they cry, “There is not enough magazine capacity, and the air-cooled barrel overheats too fast!” Firearm designers and commanding officers are frustrated. Meanwhile, the long-suffering infantry bemoan “… and the gun is still too heavy!” This is a tale that is true for…
