The Man Called Red – Book Review

July 8, 2016 By Bchunting 6 Comments

The Man Called Red

"The Man Called Red" is an autobiography about my Grandfather, N.B. "Red" Sorensen, written and published by himself.  It'd be lying if I didn't say I was a little biased but it's an excellent book about a man who lived a life and lifestyle that many can only sit back and dream about.  No, it wasn't a wealthy life or one of someone who travelled … [Read more...] about The Man Called Red – Book Review

Delorme InReach and Android Review.

Why I'm Ditching My GPS, SPOT and Satellite Phone on Backpack Hunting Trips Those are some pretty key pieces of safety gear for any back country hunter.  All 3 of these items might be a tad overkill with the SPOT and a satellite phone but being that I work from home and service web design/marketing clients all around the world it's fairly … [Read more...] about Why I’m Ditching My GPS, SPOT and Satellite Phone on Backpack Hunting Trips

We slapped a GPS collar and some … [Read more...] about The Life and Times of Buck 8917 – PennState Deer Study
