Vol. 3 – The Great Lakes takes you deep into the cutover, down forgotten logging roads, and across fog-wrapped lakes before dawn. Here, traditions run older than the map lines, and the woods close in thick and cold. From Michigan’s UP to northern Wisconsin and through Minnesota’s pine country, we hunt the hard way — on foot, in snow, in country that punishes every mistake and rewards only grit. A volume forged in woodstoves, whitetails, and winter silence.

Vol. 4 — The Deep South moves slow and quiet at first breath. Heavy air, still woods, palmettos whispering low. Hogs tear through cane, swamp bucks drift like shadows between the cypress knees. Down here, you don’t push the hunt — you wait for the break, then strike. From Georgia’s blackwater creeks to Louisiana’s gator-cut trails, tradition runs deep and the hunting runs hot. It’s close-quarters, unforgiving, and it leaves its mark.
