When I first unboxed this knife, I wasn't too keen on what I was seeing. My preference for EDC style knives is a bit more modern and definitely more tactical looking. But I know Finch Knife Co puts out a solid product, so I tried to keep an open mind. So when I opened...
As a guy who grew up around hunting, going as far back as I can remember, I've experienced a lot. Everything from chasing monster whitetail bucks, to calling in turkey toms so close that they practically sit on you, and so much more. But of all the things I've done...
A few weeks ago I got a major craving for smoked salmon. Rather than go to buy some packaged stuff from the store, I decided it was time for a little DIY. So I searched the internet high and low for recipes and videos, as general sources of inspiration. I had never...
My dad hunted in some way, shape, or form pretty much his entire life. He killed his share of turkeys but, like many people in South Texas, they were all harvested during fall turkey hunting season. I'm guessing that most of these harvests weren't hunts that were set...
That can happen to anyone... Everyone who hunts has been there at some point. The monster buck you've been chasing walks about of the brush into a clearing. A giant turkey gobbler makes a bee line in the direction of your calls. One moment you're watching branches...

We've got a big weekend ahead. Turkey season opens in the Texas South Zone on Saturday and several of the Sportsman's Junction crew are headed to Del Rio, TX to hunt opening day. Our plan is to film some turkey hunting adventures, as well as some other shenanigans on...
It seems like any time I log on social media I see a video of someone else's version of smoked queso. No matter what time of day or what meal I've just eaten, I can't help but start drooling when I see that gooey goodness. At some point last summer, I decided I needed...
New name, who dis? The modern adage seems appropriate for Sportman's Junction right now, so we want to clear the air before there is too much confusion. Westbound Soul started as a hobby, born largely out of a tiredness for city life and an abundance of discontent...
Being a relatively new bowhunter, there's still a lot about the sport that I don't know. Even so, I've sat enough times in my pop up blind to know that there are a few pieces of gear I wouldn't want to go without. Whether they're on the list because of their utility...
