Hunts On Outfitting PodcastTwo Moose, Two Provinces, One Unforgettable SeasonSend us a textSmell the musk before you see the antlers. That’s how Ethan knew the bull was close in a New Brunswick hellhole, wind in his face and alders shaking. What followed was a ten-yard window, a steady hold, and the kind of follow-up discipline moose hunters preach: shoot till they’re down. Then we trade thick finger bogs for long Newfoundland vistas, crossing by boat at sunrise, glassing cows stacked across the valley, and listening to a cow bawl so hard she towed a bull into a perfect 165-yard heart shot framed by brus...

Hunts On Outfitting PodcastTwo Giants, One SeasonSend us a textTwo mature bucks in the province with Canada’s lowest deer density isn’t luck—it’s a system. We sit down with Mike Mason to unpack how careful scouting, patient all-day sits, and a smart camera strategy can turn scarce deer woods into repeatable success. Mike hunts three different areas in Guysborough County, logs every mature buck’s daytime appearance, and focuses on transition lines where habitat types meet. That structure—plus the humility to pivot when a bear wrecks a set—led him to a heavy, dark-antlered 160-class buck known as Frank the Tank...

We swap real hunt stories from cornfields and windy marshes, pulling apart what actually works: scouting over guessing, honest spreads over clutter, and calling that persuades instead of screams.

The path to that moment wasn’t glamorous: a rangefinder that lied, quick adjustments out to 600 yards, and the discipline to back out at dark when adrenaline said push. Morning brought a canoe...
