It's not just about harvesting but getting to spend time together, which is rare with all the hustle and bustle of our schedules.

My eldest son can finally experience the thrill of chasing these majestic whitetails. Hopefully able to understand his father’s passion, well, unhealthy obsession is more like it. To see why dad spends all year long consumed with chasing these magnificent creatures.

Brace yourself: The New Year has dawned and with it will come a plethora of gym marketing, fat loss solicitations, program pitches, and more!

It’s the whole premise behind #FitToHunt, but what follows in the next few paragraphs will be the difference between another year of regret or truly being prepared for your outdoor adventures.
