Pre-Season Scouting For Deer Is More Fun Now Than Ever

Pre-season scouting for archery season really has changed for me. I have much more fun scouting before the early season than I once did. I enjoy putting out trail cameras, building food plots and hunting for deer with only my binoculars. I enjoy this pre-season scouting event more than I enjoy taking deer with a bow. I enjoy it so much now, because I get to share those experiences with my grandchildren.

Alps Outdoorz Turkey Chair

For those who love to turkey hunt, the disappointment of spring being gone is brutal. Though my mind is shifting to those fall mornings chasing whitetails, I still reflect on the many spring mornings spent listening for gobbles. This past spring, I had the opportunity to test and try new products while on many of these turkey hunts. One of those products was the Alps Outdoorz Turkey Chair in Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity.

Thistle Eradication

Whatever you do, DON’T just “let the thistles be.” They will go to seed and keep spreading. Besides maintaining their foothold where they are, the wind will carry the seeds and they’ll take up residence wherever there is an open patch of dirt. KILL THEM DEAD!

Rock Your Deer with BioLogic’s Bobby Cole

Bobby Cole, the president of Mossy Oak BioLogic, tells us what to do in July and August to start seeing deer. Many bowhunters are shooting their bows in their backyards, and some have put-out trail cameras to inventory their deer herds to see how-many bucks and what size of bucks will be on the property that they’re planning to hunt during bow season.

Tips for Helping Whitetails Feel “Safe” In Your Food Plots

Have you ever had a really nice food plot that the deer just didn’t seem to use that much, especially during the daylight? One really easy way to encourage whitetails to use a food source is making them feel safe. The older age class of both bucks and does can be really shy of big, open fields or food plots that are void of close cover. Here are a few suggestions you can try to

Allen Treadwell’s Best Buck Deer Scored 164

We were hunting in Oklahoma and had talked to some bowhunters who had seen a big buck on the edge of a milo field. They said there was no way they could hunt this good deer with their bows. One of the problems with the word “a good deer” is the person that’s qualifying the size of the deer. “A good deer” by some hunter’s standards may be a buck that scores 110 inches. When

The Double Barrel Loader: Your New Insurance Policy

The hunting industry is growing year after year with more products available for us as hunters. Each year I come across a few products that truly help me be more productive in the field. I call these products “game changers,” because they are unique and designed to help the hunter harvest more animals. The Double Barrel Arrow Loader is one of those “game changers” that I will be using year round on my bow.

Allen Treadwell Tells Us How 30 Days of Preparation Enabled Him to Take the Big 8

While hunting in Kansas, one of the toughest bucks that I ever took was Big 8. I found him in the early season. My outfitter saw Big 8 in a part of the ranch that he never had seen him before. The buck was with a doe during the rut. So, the first thing we did was to put out some trail cameras to try and define Big 8’s home range

Allen Treadwell on How He Became a Professional Hunter and Perhaps You Can Too

I'm often asked, “How does someone become a professional hunter like you?” I can’t speak for other professional hunters. The way I got on with Bass Pro Shops, eventually working with two of their shows, and being on their Pro Staff was through competitive and Olympic shotgun shooting. The second thing someone generally asks me is, “How does competitive shooting relate to being a professional deer hunter?” The answer is quite simple.

Corky and George Richardson - a Man and His Son Are of the Same Mind and Hunting Runs Through It

What I like about hunting with my dad is we are kindred spirits. We can leave camp. I can go one way, and Dad can head in another direction. Usually, within 4 hours of not having seen each other, we’ll be standing or sitting on the same rock, even though we never planned to meet that morning. Whatever I’ve learned from him, and whatever I’ve taught him, we both seem to have the same mind.
