tyler79+FollowDo 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 #Outdoors2544Share
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 #outdoors8660Share
Timothy Harper+FollowBeing in Hell, Eyes in Heaven All I can say is that this quote best sums up every hike I've ever taken I haven't gone hiking in days since my ghost encounter. Now that I'm mentally prepared, I'm going to get back out there! Even if I meet a ghost again, I'm going to fight him with my trekking poles for 300 rounds! This time, I've got a few extra things in my hiking backpack (cross, garlic), so do you guys have any recommendations for ghost prevention, just having a brave heart isn't enough for me😅! #Outdoors#Hiking#ghosts #crosses6714Share
fisherchad+FollowThis trash bag ruined my perfect trout morning 😤Was working this gorgeous pool upstream when I spotted what looked like a rising trout. Cast after cast at this "fish" until I waded up and found a sandwich baggie snagged on the rocks, glinting in the sun. Totally killed my vibe knowing someone walked all the way up this pristine creek but couldn't pack out their trash. Made me realize how one selfish moment ruins it for everyone else. Now I carry a dedicated trash pouch and follow these basics: 🎣 Pack out ALL trash (even if it's not yours) 🚤 Give other anglers space - Golden Rule applies 🔇 Keep noise down - let people enjoy nature's sounds 🐟 Handle fish properly for catch & release More anglers on the water means we all need better etiquette or we'll lose access to these spots. What's the most annoying thing you've seen other anglers do? #fishing #fishingetiquette #leavenotrace #responsibleangling #Outdoors 186Share
tyler79+Followfound my best hunting spots using this method✌️After years of trial and error, I've learned to read the woods like a map. It's all about the sign - fresh deer trails, droppings, and food sources are my gold. White oaks are money trees, especially in mast years. I look for pinch points like creek crossings or benches on steep slopes where deer naturally funnel through. When I find two trails crossing near a good food source? That's my jackpot spot. The magic happens when you layer it all - trail intersection + white oak + easy creek crossing + right wind direction. That's where I set up and consistently see deer. #hunting #DeerScouting #HuntingSpots #Outdoors 183Share
bushjill+FollowI’ve never needed fancy gear to enjoy a huntI’ve never been one to haul a full “loadout” into the woods. For me, it’s just clothes and a gun—less noise, less hassle. My field kit stays in the truck until I need it. I grew up hunting to help put food on the table, so I’ve always kept it simple and affordable. Old Army surplus camo, budget rifles—nothing fancy. Truth is, no gadget replaces good fieldcraft, patience, and time in the woods. Everyone’s style evolves, but simplicity has always worked for me. What’s the one piece of gear you never leave behind? #Hunting #SimpleGear #Fieldcraft #BudgetHunting #HuntingGear #Outdoors 3912Share
lolson+Followfrom lost tags to a busted buck—my worst hunt yetOne season, I had a day where everything went wrong 😅. My jacket—with my license and tags—slipped off the 4-wheeler. While backtracking to look for it, I drove straight into a ditch. After dragging the wheeler out, I realized my rifle had been knocked way out of zero. Headed to my stand… only to find it stolen. Ended up perched in a cedar, just in time to get busted by a nice buck. All of this happened on private land. Ever had one of those hunts where disaster just snowballs? 🤦♂️ #hunting #gearcheck #huntingfails #buckhunting #Outdoors152Share
jasonking+Followwe all lie about our fishing stories, right? 🤥Started fishing and immediately became a professional exaggerator. That 12-inch bass? Definitely fought like a 5-pounder. Got skunked? "They were biting but just couldn't land them." It's like a rite of passage - the bigger the story, the better the fisherman. Anyone else guilty of this? #fishing #fishinglies #fishinglife #fisherman #outdoors413Share
bushjill+FollowI hunt better without scent blockersSpent thousands on camo, scent blockers, and fancy gear before realizing the truth - deer care more about movement and sound than what you're wearing. Grandpa killed more deer in blue jeans than I did with all my gadgets. What's your take on keeping it simple? #hunting #outdoors #wildgame6419Share
Manuel Bright+FollowI trust the wind more than my camoAfter years in the woods, I’ve learned one thing: wind trumps camo every time. You can blend in perfectly, but if they catch your scent, it’s game over. Agree? #hunting #huntingtips #windmatters #outdoors512Share
