HUNTING MEDIA IS BROKEN.

Trad Hunters is the answer to that. A hunting magazine that reads like a book: no product reviews, no product placements, just honest stories from hunters across North America - now available as an eBook and Audio Edition, written in the tradition of the 1950s golden era of outdoor writing.

Vol.3 The Great Lakes

You've Either Hunted Here...Or you're About To

Each volume of Trad Hunters goes somewhere new. Vol. 3 goes to The Great Lakes — nine hunters who know this country share everything. The terrain, the animals, the weather, the challenge. Whether these stories bring back memories or take you somewhere you've always wanted to go — by the time you finish you'll feel like you've been there.

This is why it's worth it.

EVERY STORY GETS THE FULL VINTAGE TREATMENT

Every hunt inside Trad Hunters is paired with vintage-style artwork and black-and-white photography chosen specifically for that story. The full visual experience is preserved in the eBook — exactly as intended.

THE GREAT LAKE - TOLD BY THE HUNTERS WHO KNOW IT

Most Great Lakes hunting knowledge dies in camp. It never gets written. It never gets shared. Nine hunters changed that for Vol. 3. The terrain, the tactics, the hard lessons from years in this specific country. This is the volume that holds that information.

TWO FORMATS. ONE PURCHASE. YOURS FOREVER.

Read it as an eBook on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. Listen to the Audio Edition in the truck, at camp, or on stand. Download once, own it permanently. No subscription. No expiry.

THE FEELING YOU GET AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS

★★★★★ 4.9 · 147 Trad Hunters reviews

The man who built a life in the wilderness reads Trad Hunters.

Shawn James built a cabin from scratch in the Canadian wilderness and has documented every moment of it for over 2.2 Million YouTube subscribers on My Self Reliance. He knows what it means to truly live off the land.

His interview in Vol. 3 is one of the most honest conversations about hunting, self-reliance, and the responsibility of the hunt we've ever published.

Vol.3 The Great Lakes

A preview Of what's inside.

01

Guide To Ontario Moose

Jeff Kavanagh

Jeff Kavanagh has pulled bull moose to ten yards from a bright red canoe. His secret has nothing to do with camouflage.

02

The Necessary Hunt

Shawn James

Shawn James needs over a thousand pounds of meat every year and almost all of it comes from the Ontario wilderness. He holds nothing back in this interview.

03

Opening Day Surprise

Jim Eeckhout

A quiet Michigan morning. A tree stand. An unpunched bear tag. What walked in next — nobody plans for.

04

Fork-Horn Fever

Don McKellar

The buck is fifteen yards away. Broadside. He has no idea you're there. And suddenly, an experienced Michigan bowhunter can't remember how to shoot a bow. Don McKellar knows exactly how that feels.

05

Bear Hunting in the Boreal

Mark Morrison

His best friend had waited years for this moment. The shot was in. The bear was gone. It could have been a marginal hit. Mark Morrison and his best friend spent hours on their hands and knees in the boreal swamp of Minnesota finding out if years of preparation paid off.

06

Thoughts on a First-Time Bear Hunt

Monty Browning

A week in a Canadian wilderness swamp waiting for the right bear. His buddy told him to change stands. Monty Browning had a hunch something was about to happen. What came in eight yards away just before dark — he never heard coming.
