Increasing Vegetation Through Prescribed Burns

We’ve had huge success with using fire to improve our game lands. We have one game land just outside of Philipsburg that we started burning sections on that property about 3-4 years ago. This year, one of our local hunters took a buck off that land that’s main beams were 24 inches wide and was an absolute monster buck to come off of public lands. That game land consists of about 9,000 acres. We usually

Six Steps To Weed-Free Perennials

I enjoy spending time with them, sharing the resource and explaining why duck hunting is more than just about shooting ducks.

Those hunting and fishing trips with my grandfather changed my life for the better. His name was Carroll Tubbs, but everyone called him Curly.

Holding Wild Turkeys: The Missing Link

Some gamekeepers have roost trees, water source, mast crop, food plots and bugging areas all going for them, yet wonder why they don’t have turkeys but their neighbors do. The answer is probably "grit!"
