With Mossy Oak We Were Invisible 10 Yards from a Bull Elk with Rick Kreuter

For some reason, luck just didn’t seem to be on our side. On the last day of Julie’s hunt, we went back to the spot where we had heard a lot of bulls bugling and had seen several herd bulls. There were two big herds of elk in the drainage we were hunting, and we’d been trying to pull one of these big mature herd bulls away from his herd. Once we reached the spot

The Never-Ending Hunt for the Monster Muley with Rick Kreuter

I quickly put my pack on a downed log and got in the prone position. When I looked through my scope, I couldn’t see anything, because the scope was full of snow. I cleaned my scope as quickly as I could, then got back down and got ready for the shot. Through my riflescope, I aimed between the deer’s hindquarter and his last rib.

Ten Tips from Food Plot Experts

Many novice land managers will have food plot failures this year. Next year, they’ll go out and plant the same thing, the same way and expect it to work. I’m sorry, but there are no “magic beans!” Yes, Mother Nature has a lot to do with food plot success, but “know-how” is the unambiguous solution when it comes to planting seeds.

Young Velvet Taking Shape

During the month of July antler growth accelerates enough so you can start to recognize individual bucks, learn which bucks made it from last year and you can really begin to see the distinct differences. This means you can now start to gather solid information and put it to use in a management plan and developing an ambush strategy for a specific buck. So, what's the best way to do that?

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

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
