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.

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.

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.

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.

Whitetail Attractants

One of the best ways to capture deer on these handy devices is to develop a few whitetail attractant sites. While pure attractants won’t boost your deer herd’s nutrition like food plots, it’s a fact that whitetails crave them and will return to them regularly.

Building Project

It doesn’t matter what stage you’re at in your hunting career, given the right conditions and the heat of the moment everyone of us can be susceptible to “buck fever.” Even those who have reached the stage where the pursuit is more about giving back and bringing newcomers into hunting than doing for ourselves, have to deal with fighting off yips and jitters in our mentees that may cause them to miss their first deer.
