Question for my hiking photographers. What do you all use when hiking with your camera? My lens is fairly heavy, just a neck strap is not going to be enough for me. I’m planning on doing some fairly long hikes. I’ve been looking into clips, harnesses, and belts but can’t decide what’s best. Obviously I want quick access to my camera while also being secure while hiking! Any and all suggestions welcome. Also should I hike with my monopod or leave it? I usually leave my camera behind when hiking but I’m going to be in bear country this time and don’t want to miss an opportunity, so all advice is appreciated! Thanks! Post: 20 May 08:55

How to stay safe while hiking in hunting season. Wearing orange is not the only precaution hikers - and dog owners - are encouraged to take. Fall is popular with all walks of outdoorspeople, including both hikers and hunters. As New York’s hunting season picks up steam and daylight hours dwindle, hiking and biking advocates urge those exploring the woods recreationally to take extra precautions so as to maintain the safety of themselves, their pets and hunters. “Hunting is an activity that’s quite popular and has a long heritage here,” says Andy Mossey, Stewardship & Advocacy Coordinator for The Catskill Center. “As people are getting out and recreating, we should be prepared that we’re sharing the woods with hunters.” Wear orange Hunters are required to wear orange or pink when hunting with a firearm. So, too, should hikers and bikers. Maria Bedo-Calhoun, president of the 3500 Club, says a recent hike raised some alarms for her. “I was out hiking yesterday, and it didn’t seem likPost: 14 October 19:06

While we have a lot of beautiful national parks I'm not sure I could say that any are better than the Tetons. Sure yellowstone has more wildlife and Glacier more hiking, Yosemite has.., But the Tetons strike an amazing balance of all of it. It's small but it is spiritual.Post: 24 July 09:32

In western North Dakota, Little Missouri State Park has over 45 miles of trails running through the badlands. The trails are perfect for hiking and horseback riding, especially the state park loop. This five-mile loop trail is moderately difficult, and features some of the area’s most beautiful wildflowers. The trail really takes you into the heart of the rugged badlands, requiring some technical ability and even bushwhacking in the overgrowth. The I trail, starting at the campground, is also perfect for hikers. It curls around rock formations and along ridges, offering some of the best views of the badlands in the entire area.Post: 12 October 10:19

Group two of this year’s trainees started their overnight hunt on Saturday morning. After hiking to their campsite with the aid of the club gps units, it was time for a quick target validation sighting session. Next it was time to hit the hills. It was a slow start with the animals all bedded down and refusing to break cover. Eventually an animal presented a shot while being tucked away in the bush. By the end of the weekend, which went late into Sunday arvo, all of group two had an animal packed into their vehicles. Once again the trainees all learnt heaps and left for home with big smiles all round. The instructors for group two were Ron, Neil, Steve and Hamish, and thanks again to Muddy Waters Hunting NZ and Hamish Luce for being our host.Post: 28 March 17:56

Nikon Prostaff 5 10x42 Binoculars Review I recently purchased the Nikon Prostaff 5 10x42 binoculars and have spent some time using them in various outdoor settings, from birdwatching to hiking. Here’s my honest evaluation of this product, highlighting both the pros and cons for potential buyers. Pros: Optical Clarity: One of the standout features of the Prostaff 5 is its exceptional image quality. The lenses are multi-coated, which significantly enhances light transmission and reduces glare. I was genuinely impressed by the brightness and clarity of the images, especially in low-light conditions during dawn and dusk. Lightweight and Ergonomic Design: Weighing in at just over 22 ounces, these binoculars are relatively lightweight, making them easy to carry for extended periods. The design fits comfortably in the hand, and the textured grip ensures they don’t slip, even if I’m out for hours. Durability: The Prostaff 5 is built to withstand rough conditions. It’s waterproof and fog-pPost: 19 December 19:58

Hundreds of species of #mammals, #birds, #fish, #reptiles, and #amphibians have been documented, including several that are either endangered or threatened. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Yellowstone Park is the largest and most famous #megafauna location in the contiguous United States. #Grizzly bears, #cougars, #wolves, and free-ranging #herds of bison and #elk live in this park. The Yellowstone Park bison herd is the oldest and largest public bison herd in the United States. Forest fires occur in the park each year; in the large forest fires of 1988, nearly one-third of the park was burnt. Yellowstone has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing, and sightseeing. Paved roads provide close access to the major geothermal areas as well as some of the lakes and waterfalls. During the winter, visitors often access the park by way of guided tours that use either snow coaches or snowmobiles.Post: 20 September 09:17
4 NEW WAYS TO TAG PUBLIC-LAND TURKEYS RIGHT NOW Try these four surefire guerilla tactics to bag your public-land gobbler this spring. 1. START SCOUTING EARLY February is usually a gloomy month for outdoorsmen. Waterfowl and whitetail seasons have recently closed. It’s too cold to go fishing, and cabin fever seems to be a common illness. However, this time of year offers the best chance at getting a jump-start on killing a spring gobbler. To beat the February blues, I like to grab my .410 for squirrels and rabbits, and lace on a good pair of hiking boots. Boots on the ground is one of the biggest factors in setting the table for spring gobbler success as knowing the lay of the land is critical. The foliage is off the trees this time of the year, which makes a walk through the woods fairly easy. The snakes and ticks usually haven’t made their warm weather debut quite yet, either. And since whitetail deer shed their antlers this time of year, you can keep a lookout for sheds while youPost: 13 December 17:45
