Hunting, for me, doesn’t start when I pull on my camo in the dead, still morning or even when I make my quiet trek to a carefully selected location to hunt… it starts with education. It’s watching ...

Albert Einstein once said, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results." While this may have been true for creating the Theory of Relati...

In early 2023, just after New Year's Day, my phone rang, and on the other end was my best friend, Brad. He had recently relocated to Pennsylvania for work and, being an avid hunter, he had an excit...

The hunt for the buck that would turn out to be my largest ever officially started in February  2021 during a quail/shed hunt on a large swathe of public land. I was working my dogs on a  second ye...

ABOUT TETHRD TEN

OUR FAVORITE SADDLE HUNTING STORIES FROM EACH SEASON

The 'best' is hard to define. What makes it the best for one hunter could be wildly different than another. While a hunter in the Midwest might value the P&Y score more than anything, a DIY public land hunter in the deep South might value the amount of sweat equity expended more than the size of the rack. The self-filmer might value the creativity that went into the imagery or the documentation of the story. Maybe it was a hunter’s first buck, or a Veteran battling his demons who found an escape into the whitetail woods. None of those judgments are wrong. There is no definition of the “best” for the Tethrd Ten.

The Tethrd Ten serialized commemorative coin is only presented to those voted as the best.
You can’t buy it. You can’t grow it. You can’t build it. You must earn it.

The Ten is voted on by saddle hunters and published at the beginning of each new hunting season.
