Manuel Bright+Followold hunters smoked pipes for a reasonGuilty of lighting up a backwoods before morning hunts, and elk don't seem to care. Always sit around smokey campfires in my hunting clothes too. Last year a buck literally walked up and woke me from my nap under an oak tree - ten yards away! He smelled something and was curious, just didn't think it was human until I made noise. Smoke might not spook them like we think? #hunting #deerhunting #huntinglife #Outdoors 19589Share
bushjill+FollowHow I finally dropped a big boar clean 🐗Lost my first big boar because I rushed the shot with my deer rifle and light bullets. That thick shield stopped me cold and taught me everything about hog hunting the hard way. Here's what I learned from that expensive lesson: 1️⃣ Bullet selection matters - those thick shields and heavy bones need tough, expanding bullets like Nosler Partition or Barnes TSX. Save the light deer bullets for deer. 2️⃣ Get close - hogs are surprisingly easy to stalk. I now get within 100 yards instead of trying hero shots at 300. 3️⃣ Build a solid rest - shooting sticks, tripod, pack, anything. Hogs are fidgety and move constantly, so you need rock-solid stability. 4️⃣ Patience pays - wait for the right angle. They'll eventually give you that perfect broadside shot. Now I drop them clean every time. What's your biggest hog hunting lesson learned? #hunting #hoghunting #wildboar #huntinglife3024Share
bushjill+Follow🤷♂️ Do You Really Need Earpro for Hunting?Maybe unpopular opinion: I fire one shot max per hunt, sometimes zero. Why is everyone obsessed with hearing protection for hunting? Range time, absolutely. But hunting? Are you guys shooting that much in the field? #hunting #hearingprotection #deerhunting #huntinglife710Share
bushjill+FollowI hunt to eat, not to profitAnyone else hunt primarily for the table? Don't get me wrong, I love the chase and the time outdoors, but honestly, most of my protein comes from what I harvest. It's definitely not about money - good gear ain’t cheap, and I don’t sell what I take. But there's something satisfying about filling the freezer with venison I caught myself. What's your main motivation - the sport, the food, or both? #hunting #wildgame #fieldtotable #huntinglife #Outdoors 467Share

wramirez+FollowWhy do hunters keep taxidermy mounts?Always wondered—what's the meaning behind displaying taxidermy animals?
