In this video, four-time world-champion elk caller Deiter Kaboth says, “An elk wants to breed a cow during the archery season and they are coming into those cows because they want a bunch of girlfriends.” That urge is your ticket to harvesting a bull this season and Kaboth tells you exactly when to use certain calls to mimic nervous elk, and when to use others to calm the herd. If you do it right, you may be able to work right into the herd and put an arrow in a bull. So tune in and learn how to use a diaphragm cow elk call to your best advantage. Right now is the time to practice so you speak fluent cow elk by the time September arrives.   Hi, I'm Dieter Kaboth, and I've been very fortunate to win four world elk calling championships with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. You know, part of the championships is not only jus...

If you’d located a giant bull elk in the western Mountains , and it was riled up and searching for cows, and you needed to get that bull across a canyon and into bow range, you’d want Dieter Kaboth to be 30 yards behind you with a diaphragm call in his mouth and a grunt tube pressed to his lips. That’s because many people consider Kaboth to be the best elk caller on the planet.

Get inside Primos’ new SurroundView Double Bull ground blind series, what the company calls, “The blind without a blind spot.” The new one-way see-through walls conceal the hunter inside, but expose everything outside to the hunter’s eyes. That means you can see the buck, the bull or the turkey, whether it’s in front, to the side, or behind you . . . but the game can’t see you. This is the biggest upgrade to ground blinds since the hub system and is sure to make you a more effective hunter. Hi guys!

My friends tell me that bow hunting is the fly fishing of hunting. I can see the analogy, but to me bow hunting occurs at exactly the same time when B-run steelhead eat swung flies in Idaho. I've been interested in it a long time, and I like hunting, I just don't like hunting enough to let it take me off a river in the fall for any extended amount of time. Now that I am a father, a husband, have a small manufacturing side business and have a very full time job where missing it is much worse than playing hooky- which makes my days on the river more limited. It seems like a terrible time to add archery to my list of pursuits. However, with another baby on the way in early summer, this year I decided to throw rational thought out the window and just do whatever I can fit in to 365 24 hour windows. I got a bow. And we got archery selections ...

Lewiston, ID: Approximately 12 hours from my archery elk camp in Montana. It's the grand opening of our store in Lewiston, ID. Everyone is excited, customers are buzzing about our giant store and the expanded selection of Farm, Ranch and what seems like everything else you could ever need, including a Salted Nut Roll... I had no idea I was about to discover the Darn Tough Hiker sock. The sock Drew is wearing in the photo is the first sock in this extensive list...see what kind of socks you can discover here. At, the time I was excited for the opening of our Lewiston store... but not just for the new store. It's mid-September and my phone is blowing up with texts and pictures from my buddies in the field. My mantra for the weekend, "Stay focused on Lewiston, your week of hunting will be better if you leave here knowing you didn't daydrea...

Gina Beck, Clothing Lead  "I've been here since Big R bought D & B Supply-I was a key holder there, a lead, as you call it. It's always a nervous time when companies change hands I mean for employees, you never know what's going to happen, who's going to stay, who's going to go- It wasn't like that when North 40 took the reins. As former D & B Supply employees, we were already 'family.' It was that treatment that really made an impression on me I know Renee from our CDA store, we talked and shared the same experience that feeling that right away, the store and the management, they were all invested in us it really felt like the company was 'our company.'  Now I've been here for 4 years, and I wouldn't want to work anywhere else. With this expansion, I've gone from having 6 employees to 16... and our clothing floor space? Almost...

One of the most often asked questions I hear in the shop is "Can you tune my bow?" Short answer - yes. Long answer - let me show you how to tune your bow yourself at home or at the range. It seems that more and more each year we get a lot of questions in the shop about tuning bows. New archers are joining the sport every day, and the interest of working on their own equipment is at an all-time high. The amount of information available on the internet is staggering, but it is a lot to sort through to find the little nuggets of gold that are going to be useful. Most of the articles out there also use some terminology that assumes you've already got some working knowledge of bow tuning under your belt.

If you've never tried your hand at competitive archery, now is a great time to start!  It's finally spring, and 3D archery season is charging full steam ahead. Here in central Montana, there is no excuse for not getting your bow out of the case and getting in a full summer of practice on the 3D courses.  From now until August, there is a shoot nearly every weekend within 2 hours of Great Falls including several local events. 3D shoots are something that all archers should attend for several different reasons. You can find Montana state's current list of 3D shoots online HERE. Shoot at Life-sized Game Animals While not everyone will draw tags for moose, sheep, or caribou, it's still good practice because you're shooting at animals that are similar in size to what you will be chasing.  Most clubs have several fun targets well.  Who doe...
