Darin Hardy knew growing up he loved the outdoors, having gone hunting for the first time at age 12 he knew then that it would be a passion that would continue for the rest of his life. Growing up, he moved up from animal to animal, before finally finding his true calling: archery and elk hunting. However, just two years later, Darin joined the military wanting to do his duty; unfortunately, this made hunting a bit difficult.
It's that time of year when we start getting out our hunting gear, placing trail cams, practice shooting, and overall just start getting the fever of hunting season. We all have our favorite hunting season, whether it is deer, elk, bear or duck we are all hyped and getting our gear ready. Some preparation is less than others when it comes to the species and the area you will be hunting. When you take on a hunt that puts you at 10,000 feet above sea level the preparation can be extensive. I have been hunting Utah for seven years for elk and my base camp sits at the 10,000 foot mark. Over the past years I have seen and experienced many situations that can be avoided with proper preparation.
The popular and award-winning Mauser M18 is getting updated with two new looks: U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and Fred Bear Old School Camo. The two new camo patterns come complete with a rugged composite stock with grip inserts and a threaded barrel for the option of a suppressor or muzzle break. These new designs afford hunters greater camo options for a wider variety of locations while retaining the same great Mauser design.
