Hill Country Dreams: The Hunt for an Elusive 13-Year-Old Axis Buck in Texas
For the past decade, if you were to ask me what my dream hunt was, my answer would have probably been a 50/50 split between grizzly in Alaska and hunting axis deer in the Texas Hill Country. As grizzly hunts continue to shoot up in price and dive down in availability, I decided I needed […]

The Kansas King Buck Was Probably a World Record Typical Whitetail
The world record for a typical whitetail is easily the most coveted of all the whitetail hunting records. For nearly 30 years now, Saskatchewan’s Milo Hanson has held the title with his 213 5/8-inch beast. Not that there hasn’t been plenty of close calls over the years. Several deer, like the Johnny King buck, were […]

Summer Brings Gulf Coast Snook Sensation
While summer brings a rush of sun-burnt tourists and glistening locals to Florida’s Gulf Coast beaches, the shallow waters just off those sandy shorelines host a major gathering of the state’s premier inshore species: the pin-striped powerhouse known as snook. June through September sees mature “linesiders” moving through coastal passes and staging in the shallow […]

Dimitrov: Top 10 Return Super Doable
"The ultimate goal that stays there for me is to absolutely come back to top 10," Grigor Dimitrov said.
Grigor Dimitrov spent some time running steps near his home training for his return.
The 19th-ranked Dimitrov commenced his climb back to the Top 10 in Washington, DC today.
Serena Surprise: Williams Sisters Hit Together at Citi Open
Dimitrov launched his Citi Open with a 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 victory over Adrian Mannarino.
It was Dimitrov's first match since a strained groin forced him to retire from his Wimbledon opener vs. Steve Johnson.
It's been five years since Dimitrov won Cincinnati and the ATP Finals in the same season, but the Bulgarian believes he can make a Top 10 return.
"I still believe I can come back to the top. I would say that's my primary goal right now," Dimitrov told the media in Washington, DC. "I have been able to be top 20 for quite some time. I was top 10 for quite some time. I was 3 in the world.
"I have gone through that process, and I know what it takes. I know that it's possible to do it again. It's going to come with consistency, but of course it's all up to me."
Next up for Dimitrov is a round of 16 clash vs. 22-year-old American Sebastian Korda—another talented player with Top 10 aspirations.
The 31-year-old Dimitrov believes his experience can help him make a Top 10 return.
"Of course the ultimate goal that stays there for me is to absolutely come back to top 10. I think it's super doable for me," Dimitrov said. "Again, if I have the good consistency, why not go even bigger with the slams? I have been there, I have done that. I know how to play long matches.
"As I said, I have so much sort of in the bank that why not get something out of that? I think, again, you stay healthy and you give yourself a chance every time you're out there."

5 Reasons Why More Women Should Pick Up Archery
Back in 2018, I tagged along on an archery hunt for the first time. I had moved to Colorado two months prior, and my boyfriend at the time asked me if I wanted to join him on an archery elk hunt. He grew up bowhunting whitetails in Minnesota, and while he had hunted elk in […]
