About Volume 3: THE GREAT LAKES

HERE'S WHAT'S INSTORE:

You’ll gain rare, field-tested insight from Jeff Kavanagh, a hunter known for his instinctive archery background, whose deep understanding of Ontario’s wild places breaks down how to locate, read, and successfully call moose, from habitat selection and seasonal movement to vocal strategy and positioning in some of the most unforgiving country North America has to offer.

Explore the mindset of true self-reliance with Shawn James (creator of the My Self Reliance YouTube channel), whose interview reveals what it truly means to live off the land, not as sport, but as sustenance, discipline, and survival shaped by years spent close to the wilderness.

Step into a quiet Michigan morning with Jim Eeckhout that takes an unexpected turn in Opening Day Surprise, a first-day deer hunt filled with close calls and a moment that stays with you when the woods fall quiet.

In Fork-Horn Fever, Don McKellar opens up about losing his nerve and missing his shot — a humbling moment made more powerful as he shares the experience alongside his brother.

You’ll move deep into the dark boreal forests of Minnesota with Mark Morrison in Bear Hunting in the Boreal Forests of Northeastern Minnesota, a tense pursuit shaped by friendship, discipline, and bows made by hand.

In Thoughts of a First-Time Bear Hunt, Monty Browning draws you into the heart of a hunter, reflecting on the mental strain and primal tension of hunting a Canadian black bear for the first time and MORE.

This is more than a magazine. Inside, you'll find hard-learned lessons, forged through struggle, and shared by hunters who lived it.
