Missouri Elk Application Period Open
Elk were extirpated from Missouri in the mid-1800s. Market and subsistence hunting were their demise. The state’s restoration efforts began in 2011. Now, for the first time ever, Missouri is having an elk season. There are five tags available to Missouri residents only. One is a landowner tags for someone with property in the elk zone.

The Big Book of Wildlife & Nature Photography
Russell Graves is one of the foremost wildlife photographers in the business today. If you want to see what beautiful, professional photographs looks like, and learn how to take them yourself, you need to check out Russell’s new digital book – The Big Book of Wildlife and Nature Photography.
This work of art ranges from technical advice for beginning photographers to practical advice for the more advanced practitioner and draws on the author’s years spent in the field and observing wildlife up-close. Readers will learn everything from the best gear package to carry for their outdoor excursions to advanced techniques like using technology to scout animals. In addition, there are case studies on how photos were made, practical advice on gear and equipment, and tips on setting up your own wildlife photography locations.
In all there are:
60,000+ words
300+ photos with technical info
3-1/2+ hours of video
That’s what I call it the Big Book.
There are two versions of the PDF ebook:
1. The Standard Version (bear cover) covers a range of wildlife and nature photography topics.
2. The Outdoorsman Edition (elk cover) has all of the info the standard edition has but I’ve included a bonus chapter for those who want to better capture their hunting and fishing adventures.
Both are priced at $14.99 each and you can find them at https://www.russellgraves.com/p/books
As a bonus, those who purchase the book will receive a coupon code for 10% off any Backcountry Journeys Photo Adventures trip (valued up to a $1,900 discount).
Whether you are a hardcore photographer just like cool pictures of nature, be sure to pick this up.
