7 Signs You’re Going to Have a Bad Upland Bird Hunt
Nobody wants to hear that their upland bird hunt is going to be the pits before they even start, but sometimes the writing is on the wall. You can prepare all you want, but the bird hunting you were looking forward to might not always pan out as you hoped. That’s a bleak outlook for […]

How to Keep Elk Meat From Spoiling
If elk hunters are fortunate enough to get a bull or cow elk down, it’s their ethical duty (and legal obligation) to not waste the meat. However, if temps are unseasonably hot during archery season, or a hunt suddenly heads south, this can be easier said than done. Based on anecdotes that I’ve heard, most […]

How to Smartly Move Treestands During the Season
Trust me, as much as can fight the urge, you’ll want to switch treestand locations in the middle of deer season. In fact, during this season alone I have changed locations of several treestands in order to better key in on buck activity. Maybe you had an evening sit and noticed that deer are using […]

Early Season Bowhunt Nets Giant Kentucky Non-Typical Buck

After being in the family for years, Austin took over the site’s management. He made significant habitat improvements to the property to make it […]

Here’s the Problem With All That Outdoor Gear Packaging
We’ve been very fortunate to live during a time when the hunting and fishing gear we use is on the cutting edge of the absolute best it can ever be. Long before each season begins, manufacturers have already thought about next year and the year after that in an effort to bring us the newest […]

What the First Signs of Blood Can Tell You About the Hit
Shooting an animal can be rather intense. Emotions are at an all time high as you center in on its vitals. Certain shots can be less forgiving than others. Even if you do make a good shot, with all of that adrenaline pumping, it can be hard to analyze how the deer reacts to the […]

“I feel different on the court in a positive way” – Confident Djokovic Going for 7th Paris Title in Bercy
Djokovic hopes that faster conditions in Paris won't slow him down.
By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Sunday, October 30, 2022
Paris has always felt like a second home to Novak Djokovic, especially Bercy, a right bank enclave in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, which holds the Accor Arena, the venue in which the Paris Masters is played.
Djokovic owns six titles in Bercy, at the Rolex Paris Masters, but to win a seventh he’ll have to endure quicker conditions on the indoor hard courts.
“I like the conditions,” the 21-time major champion said. “Even though I must say after a few practice sessions this year, the conditions are different from last year. I spoke to tournament director (Cédric Pioline), and he told me that they increased the speed of the court. “I could feel that. Just takes a little bit of time to adjust to that.”

Any adjustment that needs to be made will be approached with confidence. Djokovic has hit his stride in the second half of the season and he hopes to continue the momentum in Paris.
“In the second part of the season I feel different on the court in a positive way,” he said. “The first part of the year with everything that has happened in Australia, I just felt challenged, very much emotionally, mentally off the court, and it was affecting my game. I was kind of finding my way to that desired level of tennis, and that happened, I think, towards the end of the clay season I start to play really well.”
Djokovic, who won his 21st major title at Wimbledon, where he is a seven-time champion now, said his performance on the grass has fueled him this season.
“Wimbledon always comes at the right time in my career, when I need that huge confidence boost and big title, Wimbledon is always there,” the 35-year-old said. “That obviously was also a huge relief with everything that has happened this season.”

How to Pack Out an Elk With Horses
If you’ve ever bagged an elk, you know how heavy your pack can be once it comes time to bring your quarters home. The first time I went on an elk hunt, my buddy got his first bull during September’s archery season in Colorado. We were five miles deep into a wilderness area, and it […]

Rare Piebald Doe Gives Hunter Perfect Shot Opportunity
It’s not every day you see a piebald deer wandering around the woods. There are hunters who have been heading afield their whole lives without ever seeing one. Which is what makes getting a shot opportunity at one so special. We can debate until the cows come home on the ethics of shooting such a […]

Emotional New Father Medvedev Dedicates Vienna Trophy to Wife
The Russian showed his sensitive side after tackling Denis Shapovalov for the Vienna title. By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Sunday, October 30, 2022
Daniil Medvedev has spoken often in the last week about the joy of witnessing the birth of his first child earlier in October. On Sunday, after winning his 15th title in Vienna with a three-set victory over Denis Shapovalov he dedicated his victory to his wife, Daria.
“I’m gonna dedicate this title to my wife,” an emotional Medvedev said. “Because she gave me the most beautiful present ever, my daughter. I was there and these emotions are much more than winning any title.”

The positive vibes appear to be spilling over to Medvedev’s tennis. He was in impressive form this week in Vienna, winning the biggest title of his season. He also qualified for the ATP Finals in Turin, where he is the 2020 champion – and contender to bring home another title.
Medvedev, who will rise to No.3 in next week’s rankings, improves to 45-15 on the season.
“This match was the best of the week because Denis was really playing unreal until probably 4-3 in the second set,” Medvedev said on Sunday. “He dropped his level by maybe two per cent and I was able to use it. This is one of the best victories when you know your opponent is on top of you, but you try and stay there and do what you can.
“I am looking forward to the last two tournaments of the year which are really important and I usually play well.”
Best Hunting Innovations of the Last 50 Years
In the early days of my hunting life, mechanical pump shotguns, side-by-side double barrels, and lead shot were used to down everything from doves to pheasants. Since then, there have been many changes to our hunting arsenal due to better science and sound environmental common sense. The best hunting innovations of the last 50 years […]
