Tested True: Xpedition Xlite 32 Compound Bow

6 days ago | bornhunting.com | Jace Bauserman

by Jace BausermanI’ve written about Xpedition Archery for years in several bow roundups. What is a bow roundup? It’s pretty straightforward. The outdoor writing world gets press releases, photos, MSRP, etc., from bow makers about new-for-the-year compounds. Writers read those press releases, research, and compile a roundup of that year’s latest and greatest. A bow test is much different. I’m not discrediting the roundups; they are essential.
Getting Youth Into Bowhunting

1 week ago | bornhunting.com | Jace Bauserman

by Jace BausermanFew things trump getting a youngster involved in archery/bowhunting. Not only are you passing on a time-honored tradition, but you’re passing on something that has likely, in many ways, shaped who you are as a person. Seeing that fire ignite in another — watching them grow in their newfound discipline — provides a level of enjoyment that is hard to match. The key is making sure their experience is a positive one.

Christmas Gear Gift Guide

by Scott HaugenLoopRopeOne of the most universal tools I’ve used is the LoopRope, and it makes a great stocking stuffer. I’ve used LoopRopes for over a decade on countless hunting, fishing, and camping tasks. My wife Tiffany has them in her truck and bike to secure items she’s hauling, even groceries. The multiple fastening loops maximize the number of securing points, optimizing secure holds.
Western Rut Hunts

Nov 11, 2024 | bornhunting.com | Scott Haugen

by Scott HaugenToday marks my 17th day of chasing Columbia blacktail deer in my home state of Oregon. I’m on to a giant buck I’ve seen four times in three years in the big timbered mountains of the Cascade Range. I’ve seen 18 bucks this season. Two I probably should have shot. They were big. But in November, anything can happen at any moment. This is what keeps many of us going. We’re just looking for one opportunity.
A Top-Tier Rubber Boot For Whitetail Hunting: DryShod's Evalusion Hunt Max Gusset

Nov 7, 2024 | bornhunting.com | Jace Bauserman

by Jace BausermanLast season, I relied on DryShod’s Evalusion Hunt Camo/Bark rubber boot from October through December for my whitetail pursuits. The boot proved a winner. I appreciate how high up on the boot the thick but flexible rubber comes. This boosts boot durability for the whitetail goer. I hung over thirty stands, blazed through the brush, and didn’t poke a single hole in the boots. My feet stayed dry each time I crossed water or hunted when moisture fell.
10 Outdoor Sales & Discounts You Need To Know About

Nov 1, 2024 | bornhunting.com | Jace Bauserman

by Born Hunting StaffHunting is a gear-layden endeavor. Gear costs money, and in today’s economic climate, money is hard to come by and doesn’t go very far. Don’t fret. If you do your homework, you can stay on top of outdoor sales and discounts. Some sales are super-short-lived, while others last months. The best way to stay in the know is to sign up for manufacturer newsletters, e-blasts, etc. When items go on sale, they often disappear quickly. You can act fast if you’re one of the first to know.
Three Rut Tactics You Can Count On!

Oct 30, 2024 | bornhunting.com | Jace Bauserman

Jace BausermanNovember is days away, which means one of the most coveted phases of the whitetail rut is about to break loose. Like many of you, I look forward the rut’s Chase Phase greatly. However, in my opinion, due to unpredictable chaos, it is one of the rut’s most difficult phases. Patterns dissolve and hotspots can turn ice cold over night. Bucks wander more, meaning there’s a better chance of another bowhunter bagging that brute you’ve been banking on.
Seven Reasons Why You Need To Hunt With A Suppressor

Oct 28, 2024 | bornhunting.com | Brad Fitzpatrick

by Brad FitzpatrickNot so long ago, I wasn’t interested in owning a suppressor. Sure, it would have been nice to have a hearing-safe hunting rifle. Still, I wasn’t sure it was worth the hassle of wading through paperwork and setting up trusts just to own a silencer. I swore off suppressors a few years ago. The process seemed like too much work. Today, however, I own five of them. Several factors precipitated this change.
Tested True: Muddy TRX Softshell Jacket & TRX Softshell Pant

Oct 22, 2024 | bornhunting.com | Jace Bauserman

by Jace BausermanA good friend and hunting mentor once said, “Jace, you got to have a system.” Guess what? He was right. No matter what I’m hunting, whether elk deep in the backcountry or whitetail in the back forty, I have a system for everything. If you were to look in my ALPS Elite Frame +3800 backpack on an elk hunt, you’d find the pack and everything in it in perfect working order.
