    As they say muscles are made in the gym…abs in the kitchen. Meal prepping is king when trying to drop fat and retain muscle. This cost about $8 if you have some lean venison steak. It is the perfect recipe for those less than choice cuts of meat. Makes 6 servings at 580 calories 48g protein 70g carbs 30g fat Ingredients: 2 1/2 lbs lean venison 5 cups white rice 4 cups frozen vegetables 6 eggs 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tbs olive oil 5 tsp sesame oil 5 tbs oyster sauce salt and pepper to taste 2 garlic cloves Enjoy gents 👊💪

    6A bull elk 2025

    SIX, here’s a teaser to get you fired up! This was the years you could run cameras and some bulls I had hunters on in 6a. Unfortunately, out of 3 guys only one wrapped his tag. The other 2 both had great shot opportunities and caved under pressure. This bull I watched most the summer in 2019 and first week of September he moved 4 miles south. Called him in and guy from New York missed him twice under 40 yards 😫😫 Had 9 bulls on this water at once! This tank was deadly when it could hold water into September which was always hit or miss. Sick Bull we named jigsaw. Never could turn him up after he shed velvet. Buddy from Michigan missed a chip shot on this bull…Bull rattled him bad

    6A bull elk 2025

    SIX, Congrats on the tag and welcome! It is a super fun hunt and a ton of elk in there. It is a popular unit for outdoor enthusiasts in addition to the tag holders so you will see people. The elk are used to it and just move around the pressure. Can certainly affect their vocalization but they will still be bugling. They will water daily! Early in the hunt the bulls will be hitting these often to piss in the mud and roll in it to cover themselves with as much scent as possible to attract ladies. Water is boring to sit but super deadly!! Shoot me a message and I will give you a couple spots to start in.

    Gents, tags are out and time to get moving 💪!!! I’m 48 and 6’0” 212 lbs currently sitting at 14% body fat. This is my winter post hunting season sweet spot. Don’t have to be ridiculous with food scrubbing but I do stay within reason and work out 4-6 times a week. I always try to put on some muscle mass during that time. This is time of year I like to get serious. Set macro goals, lift heavy and often, prioritize leg training, and drop about 6-8 lbs to get to 10-11 % Body fat. I do limited cardio as I feel weight training keeps that in line. Only cardio I do is stair climber primarily so I can still eat more and drop fat. I see many of my overweight, out of shape peers at my age complaining about knees, backs, trouble sleeping, etc! They choose their activities based on their condition and miss so many awesome opportunities…sad. I feel grateful to have awesome mentors that push me and motivate me as I am just your average guy. Our circle definitely defines us for sure! Have a killer week all…it’s almost time to scoop some sheds 👊👊👊

    Max’s Texas Bison Hunt

    My boy received an opportunity to hunt bison on a big ranch in Texas and it was to cheap to pass. Beautiful oak covered hill country, rich with big whitetails and all sorts of other exotics that cross between these large low fence ranches. Once we found the herd it was about an hour of cat and mouse until he got a clean shot on one of the bigger cows. Not a hard hunt but just a cool experience! Our friends from Texas joined us and helped with the butchering. Ranch house we stayed in was built in mid 1800’s and had been burned twice in conflicts with the Indians nearly 150 years ago. Can’t wait to try the meat. Left it with a processor out there and they are aging it 10 days for best flavor and tenderness. The coat on this cow was perfect! Should make a great rug.

    Max’s 2024 Colorado Deer Hunt

    My son drew a tag for one of Colorado’s open space hunts this year. It is a neat opportunity because it allows you to hunt the month of December and January which fits well with kids school schedules. We drove out as a family Christmas Day and headed out on the 26th for our first day of hunting. Saw a pile of deer and my son picked the deer he wanted to harvest and made a great shot. It was a special day and one I will never forget. I can’t stress enough, IMO, how important it is to just get out and hunt with our kids! No expectations, no trophy talk, no making them wait years for a tag because we want them to shoot the buck of “our dreams”. Let them shoot what they want. Just get out there and soak up the opportunities…they grow up so fast and time is so fleeting!

    Max’s Texas Bison Hunt

    Hey sir, I do have a contact. This place does mostly annual leases, so not sure if they sell single hunts. I will pass the info to you in PM.

    Tanners Junior Elk Hunt

    Buddy from Michigan’s son drew a junior elk tag first time applying and I took him to a tank that we are 💯 for junior hunts. This was no different. 40 minutes after sitting down they came piling in and the hunt was over.

    Tanners Junior Elk Hunt

    😂I know! I froze my butt off as a kid hunting in cotton camo from Walmart or garage sales and now their coat cost more than my whole hunting wardrobe back then. The initial investment was tough to swallow but I bought with my buddies Kuiu discount and now when he grows out of it I sell online at about 10-15% off what I paid and wait to buy again for one of their major sales for nearly a wash. A little less painful I guess 😬

    Key West

    We did not charter. I had family from Michigan that would spend a couple months down there in the winter and had some friends with a boat. We did most of our fishing from the dock on the canal. Not sure if the place is still around but there was a restaurant on big pine key that had a dynamite lobster Rueben that wasn’t to pricey.

    Key West

    Yeah, we did catch Mackerel 👍

    Key West

    We stayed on Big Pine Key a few years back and fished almost every day. Fished pine channel a bunch and also the Spanish harbor bridge. It was a riot because you never knew what you were going to hook into. caught shark, snapper, tarpon, Goliath grouper, jack crevalle, probably a few others I can’t remember. Fisherman’s paradise for sure! Enjoy!

    I’ve had a buddy and his wife from Montana hunting down here pretty much everyday since it opened in Dec. lots of solo bucks until last week. Last few days big boys have had herds and big one this morning ran a doe ragged. Good luck 👊
