Julie’s Long Stalk for a Utah Velvet Antlered Muley with ProStaffer Rick Kreuter

When the bucks stood-up, they didn’t offer any shots. We watched them walk and then trot away, going from 10 to 200 yards without giving Julie a shot. Finally the bucks stopped at some cedar trees. Two of the three bucks bedded-down in the shade where we could watch them. The biggest buck remained standing in the sun.

Julie’s Birthday Brown Bear with ProStaffer Rick Kreuter

When we were about 400-yards out, glassing the bear from the boat, we spotted an eddy where the wind was swirling in front of the boat. For no reason at all, the wind turned 180 degrees and was now hitting us in the face, giving us the perfect wind to stalk the bear. We decided Julie was getting more and more birthday presents as this hunt went along.

Wild Turkey Predation

Predator species known for affecting turkey populations are: hawks, owls, crows, snakes, opossums, raccoons, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, feral dogs, etc. Some of these species such as raptors (hawks, owls) are illegal to kill. However, we can still reduce their effectiveness by planting plenty of cover and removing obvious lookout trees

Predator Expert Steven Reinhold Hunt Crows and Buck Deer

During the summer, many of my friends call and hunt crows. When we think of predators, we’re more likely to think of raccoons, foxes, coyotes and bobcats, but crows not only will destroy a corn crop, they’ll come right behind a farmer planting seeds and dig-up the seeds

Never Forgotten

The Red Hills Wounded Warrior Group (RHWWG) is a chapter of the national organization that is based out of Tallahassee, Florida and was founded in 2011 by Brian Proctor and Walter Hatchett in hopes that they would be able to provide outdoor recreational activities for eligible veterans in north Florida and south Georgia. Since their inception, they have already hosted over thirty injured veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan at Southlands Plantation in

Deer Stand Location

Whenever possible, design your plot around a certain tree or trees that are favorable for the wind and allow you to sneak in and out without bumping deer. A lot of hunters overlook the importance of getting out of the stand without tipping their hand to the deer.

Turning Dreams into Reality

Through management, harvest control and food plots you can turn your hunting property into one that you used to dream of. Now that I’ve completed six years of my management plan I’ve learned a LOT about what it takes to be successful. I’ve also learned about many of the pitfalls in a property management effort hidden by Mother Nature and some that have been self inflicted.

The Most Thrilling Hunt of Nicole Jones Reeve’s Life

Finally we found the Houdini bull sitting under a shade tree in the middle of the day. George said, “For the correct wind, we need to circle around the bull, get down in the river and stalk him from the river.” We had seen crocodiles only 200-yards upstream. I looked at George and said, “You’ve got to be kidding.”

Nicole Jones Reeve Tells about Being Inside a Brown Bear’s Den

For this hunt, Pat said, “Why don’t we do a snow pack hunt and try and find a brown bear coming out of hibernation. That’s more of a ‘Driven’ TV hunt, because you don’t see many hunts like that on television.” I said, “Let’s do it.” We flew to Anchorage, Alaska, and then took another plane to Willow. Finally, we took a DeHavilland Beaver airplane that carried skis instead of tires for landing on ice

Silence Is Deadly

If there were a whitetail bedded within 100 yards of your treestand could you approach and climb the stand without alerting the animals? How about 50 yards, or maybe less? This Wildlife Obsession tip might help.

Nicole Jones Reeve’s 900 Pound Alligator with Her Bow

Finally, the alligator popped-up on the surface about 50-yards away. All we could see was the alligator’s eyes, and his mouth to the end of his nose. I had been told the best place to shoot an alligator was right between the eyes. If I couldn’t get that shot, I was to shoot a few inches behind the eyes. I got as steady as I could get and took the shot.

A 60 Inch Wide Moose for Nicole Jones Reeve

Because we were hunting post-rut, Joel wasn’t sure we’d be able to get close enough to use my bow or if I’d have to use my Thompson/Center rifle. Pat and I both had moose tags, but Pat wanted me to hunt first, since I never had shot a moose. We had a 1-1/2-hour truck ride from Joel’s house, then a 5-hour 4-wheeler ride to get to the boat, then a 30-minute ride to reach the

Brassicas are very easy to grow and provide an inexpensive, quality food source for your deer herd. Brassicas also produce loads of forage, allowing those who can only plant small plots to keep deer on those plots for months at a time.

Summer Scouting Tactics

Summer is one of the best times of the year to embark on hands-on reconnaissance missions for trophy whitetails. Why? For starters, bucks are visible at food sources in the early mornings and late evenings. Being able to watch particular bucks for days on end as they enter and exit a food source will have you in the right stand position come opening morning.
