The Hunt I'm Looking Forward to the Most in 2016

I'm going to Pakistan and going up the highway toward Islamabad. Next I’ll come off the highway and make a three day trek to the far mountains toward Afghanistan. I’ll be hunting an animal called the cashmere Markhor (a bovid mammal closely related to a wild goat). In the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece from Greek mythology, the goat he was after was a Markhor like the one I'm planning to hunt. Taking

Jim Shockey’s Most Difficult Hunt Last Season

My most difficult hunt last year happened when I was hunting in Chad. Chad has been closed to hunting for several years, because the last outfitter hunting there was speared by a local tribesman. The country arrested the outfitter with a spear in his leg. Chad is located in central North Africa, and the countries around Chad are very unstable So, I knew there was an element of danger before I left to go on

Jim Shockey’s Greatest Hunt of Last Season

Hunting always has been my passion, but my new passion is hunting more. Last year I was on the road traveling all over the world for 305 days,including the time I spent at trade shows and consumer shows promoting hunting and working with my sponsors like Mossy Oak. So,those 305 days weren’t just days in the air or days in the woods. Some of that time was related to the hunting business, which I also

Jim Shockey’s Never-Ending Hunting Season

The only person who has hunted my Saskatchewan property for the last 2 years is my daughter Eva. Another reason I haven’t hunted Saskatchewan for deer in the last 2 years is that my dad passed away a couple of years ago, and I had hunted whitetails every year for 43 years with my dad. So, the last 2 years I've given my Saskatchewan deer property a time of silence, but things seem to be

Ashlee Lundvall: My Passion for the Outdoors Doesn’t End When the Hunt Does

I'm also asked, “How did you get into hunting?” I guess I got into it backwards from how most people get into hunting. I had a good friend who was also in a wheelchair. He wanted to start a nonprofit organization and invite people with disabilities from all over the United States to come out to Wyoming and hunt. In 2008, we founded the Wyoming Disabled Hunters Association. I think the guys kind of wanted

Ashlee Lundvall: How I Redefined My Life to Participate in the Outdoors

I'm paralyzed from the waist down, but that hasn’t stopped me from hunting and fishing. Anytime I have to go over rugged terrain or creeks or up mountains, I use my Action TrackChair. This chair can stand me up, so I can fly fish or shoot standing up. With this chair, I can drive into water about 18-inches deep. If I have to make long casts, using the TrackChair makes fly fishing much easier, because

A Bigger and Better Outdoors Life

Instead of being a specialist in one type of hunting or shooting, I represent and speak to the more than 50 million hunters in America who have some form of disability.

Trap and Remove Nest Predators and Use Controlled Burns to Increase Turkey Populations

One of the most effective management tools for increasing turkey populations is the trapping and removal of nest predators. Trapping skunks, armadillos, raccoons, possums and coyotes is a very-important tool of wild-turkey management. These nest predators can have a really-big effect on how many turkey poults survive the spring nesting season. So, we highly recommend late winter/early spring trapping specifically for nest predators just prior to when hens begin to nest.

Plant Turkey Gold Chufa for More Turkeys

I'm often asked, “What is chufa?” Chufa is very similar to a nut grass. Like WhistleBack, chufa feeds turkeys not only in the fall and winter months, when they need supplemental feeding the most, but chufa feeds turkeys during the spring as well. Like with the other warm season annuals, we’ll plant chufa during May and June.

Tips I've Learned from Mentoring Turkey Hunters

With children, I've found that the children pay more attention to me and are more willing to do what I ask them to do than they are with their parents. My kids never listen to me, but they always listen to their uncle. So, I try to be like kids who hunt with their favorite uncle. The one thing I'm conscious of is allowing children to fail.

A Turkey Hunting Memory That Lasts for Two Lifetimes

I try to create hunting memories that will last a lifetime. If I'm successful, that memory will last for two lifetimes. Here’s what I mean. If I guide a person to the first turkey he or she ever has taken, or if I guide a person to his first deer, I’ll remember that hunt for my lifetime, and that person will remember that hunt throughout his lifetime. So, even though I only squeezed the trigger
