hunting with dirty clothes, no scent blockers, no problem

I’ve been hunting for years, and honestly, I don’t stress much about scent control. I’ve tagged deer in blue jeans, work boots, and a flannel shirt still stained from the last kill—coffee in hand, Marlboro lit. I don’t use scent blockers, special soaps, or fancy gear. Heck, I’ve had deer walk right into my ground blind while I was sitting still. Out here in the middle of nowhere, I swear movement and pressure matter more than scent. Anyone else ditched all the scent-control hype and still get results? #hunting #deerhunting #huntingtips #outdoors

Alamere Coast Hike Magic

Start at Palomarin Trailhead—this coastal gem leads to Alamere Falls, a tide-dependent cascade flowing straight into the Pacific. Soak in views of the Farallon Islands, Bass Lake, and rugged cliffs on this Marin County classic. Weekend? Hit the Mesa Road parking lot early—it fills fast. Critical note: Skip the unmaintained Alamere Falls Trail (NPS warns: crumbling cliffs, poison oak, ticks). Stick to the coastal path for safe, stunning scenery. #Outdoors#Hiking#AlamereFallsHike#CoastalHikes #TidefallAdventures

Mirror Lake Loop Magic

Gaze up at Half Dome—Mirror Lake Loop reveals Tenaya Canyon, Watkins Mountain, and Washington Column in a fresh light. Stunning year-round, but peak beauty hits spring/early summer when the lake swells, reflecting cliffs in calm waters. Summer’s dry spell? It morphs into “Mirror Lake Meadow.” First mile: paved service road to the lake. Loop follows Tenaya Creek’s far bank, crossing bridges post-Snow Creek Trail junction, then circles back. Pro tip: South of the loop, a tempting “shortcut” over boulders turns dangerous fast—ankle-deep turns thigh-high, currents trap hikers. Stick to the trail, watch downstream near water. #Outdoors#Hiking#MirrorLakeLoop #YosemiteHikes#LakesideTrails

Do you hunt for live or for fun?

Just curious—how many of y’all are hunting full-time to feed the family, or just for the love of it on weekends? Would love to hear your stories and what drives you. #hunting #huntinglife #Outdoors

What'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 #Limits

this spot produces turkeys 90% of the time

New 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 #outdoors

Your ears are better than your eyes for hunting

Been 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
