For the past month, iSportsman has been sponsoring hunting YouTuber Mike Rogers as he ventured out into the Arizona wilderness in search of his first mule deer. Mike just returned from his second trip into the desert and has some stories to tell.
I wrestled to find a new solution to an old problem. A problem that has plagued deer hunters for ages. I had many failures, but those only deepened my resolve to find the right ingredients to find a solution. This recipe is the result of finally cracking the code for that allusive perfect use for the Venison roast you find at the bottom of your freezer. The one from last hunting season, or maybe even two years ago.
Depending on where you are, over the next few months you may experience a variety of weather conditions. From mornings that start frigid that turn into sweltering days, or evenings that are warm but then the temperature drops rapidly—rather than dealing with being uncomfortable, be prepared with PNUMA Pursuit Zip-off pants.
The Barrier NXT line from Nomad is being hailed as a cornerstone of Nomad products. Designed for stealth and suited for various habitats, the Nomad Barrier NXT collection features the NXT Camo Vest, NXT Vest, the Barrier NXT Camo Jacket, the NXT Jacket, and the NXT Camo Pants.
Hunting runs in the Stolowski family. Michael Stolowski has been hunting for 54 years, starting at the age of 10. Michael got his first deer at age 12 while tagging along with his father and older brother and, from there, was a lifelong hunter. After hopping between various hunting lands, they eventually settled on a place in 1977: Fort McCoy.
Recently, iSportsman sponsored YouTuber and active-duty service member Mike Rogers on a late season mule deer hunt in Arizona. We partnered with Huntworth as a clothing sponsor to ensure Mike had all the essentials for this desert challenge.
1. The Durham Lightweight Hunting Pants
For those who have traversed the rocky plains of the Arizona desert, you know that the temperature can fluctuate wildly between the crack of dawn and midday. With Huntworth’s Durham Hunting Pants, you’re covered for the wide temperature range of 40F-75F. And Huntworth knows you’ll be sitting, kneeling, climbing, and hiking in these pants. That’s why the Durham Hunting Pants comes standard with a quiet stretch woven shell, and reinforced knee and seat patches made of abrasion resistant material. With an MSRP of $119.99, you can buy yours here.
iSportsman is currently sponsoring YouTuber and active-duty service member Mike Rogers (@TLOMikeRogers) for multiple trips to Arizona for late season mule deer hunts. Already back from his first outing, Mike is itching for more. Spending several days getting up early, hiking long desert treks, and ascending rocky hills to glass for wildlife wasn’t enough, and we agree.
Mike Rogers is just a regular, every day, 34-year-old guy, who enjoys the outdoors, anime, and BBQing on the weekend with friends and family. Five years ago, he started a new hobby that quickly became one of his greatest passions: bow hunting. Now, he hunts whenever he can and produces videos on his YouTube channel to share his passion with the world.
For many hunters the hunting season is over. Waterfowling is done in our area for the year. The final deer hunts are behind us. What pheasants are left are breeding stock for next year. It’s a sad time of the year for most diehard hunters. But if you are truly a diehard hunter, you really aren’t done. There’s plenty of time to go rabbit hunting; in fact, this time of year is a great time to go rabbit hunting.
