paulcarol+FollowYour ears are better than your eyes for huntingBeen thinking about this lately during early sits—sometimes I swear my ears catch more than my eyes ever do. Just the other day I picked up a single twig snap from 50 yards away while daydreaming with my eyes closed. Anyone else rely more on sound than sight out there? #hunting #huntingtips #outdoors 715Share

Adam Schmidt+FollowWhy Getting Outside Is a Total Game-ChangerTurns out, getting outdoors isn’t just a mood booster—it’s basically mental health medicine! A new study found that people who spent more time in green spaces during the pandemic had way less stress and fewer depressive symptoms. Even just walking or gardening near home made a huge difference. The catch? Not everyone has equal access to parks, especially in lower-income or minority communities. Maybe it’s time we all push for more green spaces in our neighborhoods! #Health #MentalHealth #Outdoors70Share
Timothy Harper+FollowWhat's your hiking limit?I pushed my hiking limit over the weekend, I can't believe I walked 4.5 miles in two hours and fifty minutes. But I had a bad experience this time and kept my head down the whole time. Not relaxation, but another sense of tension. Never mind, there's good and bad. To a certain extent, I also pushed my limits and set a new record out, which is also worth celebrating! Hahaha. #Outdoors #Hiking #Limits94Share
Timothy Harper+FollowWhat's your biggest fear of encountering during a hike?My friend told me yesterday that he seemed to have encountered a grizzly bear when he went hiking over the weekend 😮 He said he was a bit far away at the time but it looked like a grizzly bear by the size and coloring. The bear didn't move, he didn't dare move, and they just stood there for several minutes. After the thing left, he turned around and went down the mountain immediately #Outdoors #Hiking #grizzly bear47Share
WanderlustWhiskers+FollowWhy don’t fishing guys play with their cell phones?I was walking last night and saw many fishing friends sitting quietly fishing or casting their rods frantically. They didn't look at their phones or chat, but sat there for hours. #Outdoors #Fishing #Cellphone921Share
paulcarol+Followwhy hunters lose deer they should have foundAfter you shoot, pick a specific landmark where you last saw the deer - "that pine with the broken branch" not just "over there." Everything looks different from ground level and you'll be way off track otherwise. Then wait 1-2 hours before tracking. I've watched too many hunters rush down and push wounded deer for miles. Patience saves more deer than anything else. What's your worst tracking story? #hunting #deerhunting #huntingtips #outdoors5957Share
Manuel Bright+Followthis spot produces turkeys 90% of the timeNew to public land? Skip the fancy scouting and head straight to water sources - creeks, ponds, rivers. Turkeys need water daily and these spots are wildlife magnets. It's the most reliable pattern I've found for locating birds fast. Works every single time. #hunting #turkeyhunting #publicland #huntingtips #outdoors496Share
bushjill+Followold trapper taught me this coyote secretSetting coyote traps isn't just about placement - you need the right attractant to bring them to that exact spot. I use a combo of beaver castor, fox urine, and curiosity scents at each set. You can buy commercial baits or make your own with a meat grinder and deer scraps. The key is using multiple attractants so any coyote passing by will investigate. What's your go-to bait recipe? #hunting #coyotetrapping #trappingtips #outdoors6146Share
