Gain Control Over Predators

If you’re managing a property for a game species, predator control is extremely important – they’re your competition. Controlling the amount of coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, skunks and other varmints is typically done by hunting or trapping. During the winter can be the best time for both, hunting or trapping simply because their food is scarcer now than at other times, especially in the north where a blanket of snow covers most food sources. That means

Small Game, Predator

I think it’s a lot to ask from a new hunter to realize what’s really important about spending time outdoors In the beginning it’s pretty much all about taking. Taking a turkey, taking a deer, taking a big bass etc, it’s pretty much all one sided and that’s understandable.

Day 2: How to Successfully Hunt Turkeys on Public Land with Mossy Oak’s Tracy Groves

Hunters educate turkeys to the fact that when they hear doors slam and owl hoots that more-than likely there’s a hunter in the woods. So, when I’m hunting public lands, I don’t use an owl hoot or a crow call.

Flora Six Feet High

A whitetail’s world exists from six feet high and down to the ground. Quite frankly, unless a canopy tree is producing a mast crop of some kind it’s really not doing the whitetails any good at all. It’s difficult to convince some land owners to cut mature trees, but specifically relating to whitetail habitat, where ever you can allow the sunlight to hit the soil you will increase the stem density. That means more food

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
