Blog Post - Whitetail
Summer scouting for whitetail is right around the corner, making it the perfect time to get out and see what kind of deer activity is shaping up in your area. With bucks growing their antlers and patterns starting to form, mid-to-late summer offers a great window to glass fields, monitor trail cameras, and take note of bedding and feeding habits. It’s a low-pressure time of year, meaning you can cover more ground and observe without putting too much stress on the local herd.
This time of year is also ideal for prepping stand locations, trimming shooting lanes, and strategizing based on early movement. While things will shift come fall, the intel gathered now lays a strong foundation for opening day. Whether you’re chasing a familiar buck or just learning a new property, getting a head start in the summer can make all the difference when the season arrives.

1. Tune Up Your Retriever
Your retriever’s fall performance depends on summer prep. Train using real hunting setups like stands or blinds so your dog is confident and ready.
2. Practice Your Greeting Call
Master the five-note greeting call—it’s the base for most duck calls. Practice now to work birds better and land more in your spread.
3. Check Your Gear
Inspect motors, decoys, trailers, and ATVs. Change plugs, check fluids, and fix any worn parts now so you're not scrambling in-season.
4. Break Some Clays
Hit the range to sharpen your aim and bond with hunting buddies. Get your shotgun professionally cleaned while you’re at it.
5. Prep Your Blind
Clean and re-grass layout blinds or cut fresh branches for permanent ones. Doing it now saves time and keeps you hidden when it counts.
Blog Post - Tuning the Golf Swing
Tuning my golf swing has been about making small changes and paying attention to how things feel. I started by breaking the swing into simple parts — the setup, the backswing, and the follow-through. Instead of changing everything at once, I’d pick one thing to work on, like where my feet are or how hard I’m gripping the club. Some days it was about keeping my head still, other days it was about turning my shoulders more. Even little changes made a big difference in how the ball flew.
Over time, I realized it’s not just about hitting the ball — it’s about finding a swing that feels smooth and natural. When I rush or try too hard, things fall apart. But when I relax and trust my motion, everything works better. Tuning my swing has become a way to reset and stay focused. I’m still learning, but every swing helps me get a little better.
Blog Post - Resetting
Sometimes you just need to get outside to feel like yourself again. Whether it’s playing a few holes of golf or sitting out in the woods, it helps slow everything down. Out there, I’m not worried about my phone or what I have to do next. I’m just in the moment. The quiet, the fresh air, and the steady pace all help me breathe a little easier and think a little clearer.
Unwinding doesn’t mean doing nothing — it means doing something that helps you feel better. For me, that’s being outdoors and doing what I enjoy. It might be hitting a few golf balls, walking a trail, or just sitting still. Those simple things help me reset. They remind me what matters and give me the energy to keep going.
