Fun, startling and interesting fact. Did you know there is a greater chance of your child hitting a deer with his or her truck or SUV, than of them getting an “A” in school? It’s crazy! Scholars are harder and harder to come by these days.

However, let’s talk 167 and why that number is so significant. See, every 1 out of 167 U.S. drivers will have a WVC, that stands for “Wildlife Vehicle Collision”, this year. Yes, there are so many of them they had to abbreviate the three words to save time in between insurance claims. What I’m getting at, is that truck and SUV protection is an important topic to address because accidents happen on a regular basis due to wildlife collisions, as I just mentioned, plus negligent driving and sheer carelessness.

In a stroke of luck, Nick Mundt drew a tag to hunt mule deer in a highly coveted area of Arizona. Arizona Strip Unit 13B holds some of the highest scoring mule deer bucks in the world and as such, it is highly sought after. While the muleys that inhabit this unit are trophy worthy, the hunt itself is tough. The unit is huge, the mule deer herds are widely scattered throughout, and it can be difficult to pinpoint their locations which in many cases results in hunters coming up empty handed. Even tougher than tackling the expansive terrain and tracking down these Arizona giants is what it takes to draw a tag which comes down to a less than 1% chance.

If you’re married or have kids, that’s a sentence you are accustomed to. So, let’s talk companionship. Love. Faithfulness. Communication. All the qualities your marriage is most likely lacking. No, I have no desire to counsel, to offer sound guidance or moral support to you or your significant other. Your dating/marital status means diddly squat to me, I’m only interested in what’s under your hood. Yeah! This here, is a truck-tervention.

Like the adage goes, “There are a million fish in the sea, but you’re a damn mermaid,” or something to that effect. What does it mean? Not even God knows. But I’m guessing it applies to a specific person's individualism and how their needs are different, they can’t be quantified, and that’s what separates them from others. Likewise, trucks aren’t one size fits all, and Ford Motor Company knows it.

What is your ultimate bucket list hunt? How about a hard-fought DIY hunt on the Alaskan tundra for caribou?

Derek Ratliff, President and Founder of Horizon Firearms, just returned from the “Last Frontier” after a challenging week-long hunt for caribou. Inspired by an old Tom Miranda VHS tape, this DIY Alaskan Caribou hunt has been a goal for Derrick for years and he was finally able to experience it. Derrick joins us this week for an inside look at this exciting hunt he embarked on with a few friends.
