Her name is Lauren. And that’s where my story starts. In October 2002, she was 11 years old. The little girl from Morgan County grew up on a farm but had never done any hunting. I spent a lot of time in my high school and college years on that same farm so I had…
The story of the Eastside 9 began way back in 2017. I was videoing my hunts off of a cheap camcorder back then, and I got some videos of a young buck. This young buck had obviously gone under a barbed wire fence or something because he had a section of fur missing on his…
The story of Hook is one that starts years back. Hook first showed up on my camera in 2019 as a 2.5 year old. He got his name because his main beams hooked toward each other in the front. His rack looked the same every year after, it just grew bigger each year. In 2020,…
In the corner of my grandparents’ lake house, a group of dried sticks leans against the wall. Each one tells a story. Each one I have used. From cold winter strolls, to humid summertime treks, those sticks have accompanied me. Many times I was not alone, with either my grandfather or my brother, or both.…
In Episode 1 of Season 4, Clae Mathis and the Out There Outdoors crew are busy filling feeders, setting stands and cameras and doing all the preseason prep work to be ready for deer season. “It is time to get trail cameras back out. We had a lot of work, but things got interesting when…

If you weren’t at the GON Outdoor Blast in Emerson this year, I’ll sum it up quickly by saying you really missed out. Big bucks were scored, guns were won every hour on the hour, and vendors had enough discount goodies to fill 20 semi trailers. Oh yeah… and thanks to John Megel Chevrolet, we…
If you are one of the many sportsmen who have walked through the doors of an Outdoor Blast in the past two and half decades, you probably met or at least noticed a group of men and women in hunter-orange t-shirts. They volunteered at the Kids Zone, at the venue doors, or they met folks…
I’ve been camping for over 30 years. I am proud to say that I’ve never camped in an RV or motorhome. I like to be in a tent. Not sure why, but that is just my thing. Get to a campground or forest service road, look for a somewhat flat spot, pick out the random…
A grandfather is a special person for a boy. The role of a grandfather in a boy’s life can be one of the most powerful and influential ones. I guess that explains why I had such an instant connection with Mr. Andrews. When I met Mr. Andrews, he was 81 years old, I was 27,…
