One of the best things about hunting is that you get to do it your way. Unfortunately, in today's social media driven world, we've let outside influences have to much control over how we hunt. It's time we got back to how it used to be. Hunt for yourself and no one else. Unapologetically. It's not selfish, or inconsiderate, it's preservation. Don't let anyone take away from you what hunting can be.

For some reason, people in hunting media and content creation love to give poachers a platform. Especially when they kill big deer. Illegally. The reason is actually fairly obvious. It's all for clicks. We need to stop though. It's damaging to hunting, hunting culture, and the guys and gals who do it the right way. That's what the guys are talking about this week. Let us know what you think.

Illinois HB2726 gives the IDNR power to reintroduce apex predators like black bears, wolves, and mountain lions to Illinois. I don't think this is a great idea. The bill has already passed Congress and now sits on the governor's desk. If you care about our wildlife, your kids' safety, and your peace of mind when enjoying the outdoors, call his office and tell him to veto it.
