FALL WHITETAIL HUNTING AND OFF-ROADING WITH SCOTT NEWBY OF YAMAHA

Fall hunting seasons are hitting full stride and Scott Newby, Yamaha's ATV & Side-by-Side Senior Communications Specialist, already has one tag filled. Starting the season out early this year, Scott hit Kentucky on opening weekend and after an intense hunt, walked away with an incredible buck still in the velvet.

Although he has hunted Kentucky in years past, he notes that nothing has ever come together quite like it did this season with multiple members of the hunting party tagging out on opening night. In Scott's case, an evening sit in a treestand overlooking a bean field put him right in the center of big buck activity. Just a couple of hours into his first sit, the buck he was looking for showed up right under his stand. After sitting at full draw, waiting for another buck to move, Scott finally released his arrow and watched the buck as it disappeared into the bean field. No hunt is over until you recover your animal though, and because of shot placement, Scott determined it was best to let the deer sit for several hours before attempting recovery. During that time, a thunderstorm moved in and had Scott nervous about losing the blood trail and potentially not being able to find his buck. However, a morning search yielded the buck he arrowed, not far from where he last saw it go down. Scott explains the sheer amount of relief and excitement he felt when he finally put hands on his buck and also notes that although it can be difficult to wait, giving an animal the right amount of time to expire is crucial to recovery. With Kentucky under his belt, Scott talks about his upcoming hunts, including an archery whitetail tag that he is hoping to fill in Kansas.

Plus, Scott highlights the recent Yamaha XT-Reme Terrain Challenge (XT-R Challenge) that was held at the iconic Loretta Lynn Off-Road Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. The Yamaha XT-R Challenge is a multi-day event, now four years running, where Yamaha friends and family get the opportunity to get out and run a specialty course that is full of obstacles. Scott says ATV and Side-by-Side riders got to challenge themselves with log crossings, mud holes and more on a 22-mile course during the fun-filled weekend. The event also featured free demo rides, concerts, giveaways and much more. This annual event is certainly one that Yamaha owners and spectators should think about attending next year and Scott highlights how you can be a part of it!
