Learning from the best is one of the best ways to become a better hunter. So, we've brought you the best tips for waterfowl hunting from our friend Ben Cole of RootedTV.

When you're learning to call turkeys, ducks, or elk, the animals themselves will practically give you lessons in calling. Those species are vocal, and you get tons of chances to mimic them. 

Black-tailed deer can be found in the western parts of North America, from central California to coastal British Columbia and southern Alaska. Often referred to as the "Pacific Ghost," these creatures are extremely elusive, making harvesting one a true sportsman's dream. 

The dove hunting season always promises a great time. With fast-paced shooting, accessible opportunities, and welcoming communities across the top dove hunting states, it's hard to beat in terms of satisfaction and social networking.

We all know that ducks are stunning long-distance flyers capable of putting in some incredible miles in a day and across the entire migration period, but how high do they go?

Deep in the thick coniferous forests across the Pacific Northwest lives the legendary black tail deer. They're skittish, highly adapted to the natural cover, and can slide in and out of the natural landscape with a nearly phantom-like nature. 

If you've been lucky enough to spend some time in elk regions during the rut, then you've likely heard an elk bugle.

If you’ve ever glassed a high country meadow or sagebrush flat in the desert as the sun slips below the ridgeline above, chances are you may have spotted an icon of the American West: the mule deer.

While mapping and location preparation are essential for a successful hunt, sometimes you can't beat some old-fashioned field work (i.e., keeping your eyes on the ground to look for scat).

During duck season, the skies and waterways come alive with a rainbow of color from the different duck species from coast to coast. Whether you’re after dabblers, divers, or mergansers, the diversity of duck breeds provides unique opportunities for hunters to bag out a range of common and more elusive birds. 

In the spring of 2018, I decided to change the way I deer hunt. My entire life, I’d been a rifle hunter. Although I love the tradition of walking to a deer blind on opening morning to sit and wait for a buck to wander out somewhere inside of 200 yards, something was missing.

Very rarely will all conditions align, and you'll be able to take a shot just like you've been practicing at the range: straight back behind the rifle, beautifully square shoulders, and a steady breathing rate.
