The first time I bowhunted from an elevated position I did not use a stand. An ancient cottonwood in the middle of a grassy drainage area in standing corn served as my elevation. Scrambling up the branches and into the nook of several limbs, I sat with my old Bear Whitetail compound bow for several nights until a 1 ½-year-old buck rutted past.

Appeared in print as "The Coyote Waiting Game" Are American attention spans decreasing, leading to speedier shifts from one focus to another? I’d say yes, and depending on the research, studies do indicate that since the explosion in screen-time motivation, attention span has diminished. One study I reviewed indicated that in 2004 employees spent an average of 2.5 minutes on a document before looking at email or another screen. Fast forward to today and that figure now sits at less than one...

May be using a walker by the time I draw a Shiras moose hunting tag, but until then, enjoying the best of Wyoming’s big beasts. @HuntStand @BergaraUSA @MuddyOutdoors @TeamHornady #huntinglife https://t.co/MRXmgKBMPd
