Dennis Garrett Explains That When Bear Move in the Deer Move Out

When the area where we hunt first started getting bears, we thought hunting bears would be really cool. Lots of people were excited about having black bears. Before the bears came into our area, I had two trail cameras out on some property I was hunting and would average getting 1,200 pictures per week of deer, turkeys, squirrels, raccoons and possums. When the bear population moved in, after a week of having our cameras out

Kentucky Has It All – Whitetails, Elk and Bears

Kentucky offers several hundred elk tags each year. But since I haven’t been drawn yet to take an elk, that’s why I concentrate my hunting on whitetails. I may see bears, and I usually see elk anytime I want to see them, but getting a tag to hunt them hasn’t been easy.

Handguns, Crossbows and Hogs - Here’s Why

I think the greatest advantage of the crossbow is that it also allows young hunters to start hunting at an earlier age. In some states, the minimum draw weight for a longbow is just too heavy for a 10-12-year-old youngster to pull, hold and aim accurately. But the crossbow gives them an opportunity to get in close, to aim accurately, and to find the spot they want to hit. It makes that shot achievable for

In the spring of 2014, we also went on a black bear hunt in Saskatchewan - the first time we ever had live-streamed an entire hunt on the Outdoor Channel’s website. People could log in on their computers to the Outdoor Channel’s website, watch us in the tree and see the bears as they came in to where we were. We were also able to talk to our fans while we were in the tree

An official member of the Mossy Oak Pro Staff for 8 years, Nicole’s an admitted adrenaline junkie. “This spring I decided I would take a brown bear with my bow.

An Alaskan Bear Hunt with Ashley Jay

About 2-years ago, I went on a black bear hunt in Alaska. My father, who didn’t know much about bears, wasn’t really excited about his young daughter hunting bears in Alaska. He begged me not to go. To be honest, no one in my family was excited about me going on this bear hunt, especially with my bow.

Predator Hunting Plus Taking Black Bears with ProStaffer Parry Cremeans

Some of the private land that Just For Hunting outfitters has acquired has tons of acorn trees on the property. One of the problems on this property is black bears that come to these acorn flats, tear down the limbs on the acorn trees, eat the acorns and feed on Manzanita berries. Many of these properties are really wide open. So, we have a good chance of seeing and taking black bears during the season.

Brenda Valentine’s Tough Mountain Lion Bowhunt in Sub Zero Weather

Since 1992, I’ve earned a portion of my living as a professional hunter, TV host and spokeswoman for several organizations.

John Phillips of the San Diego Chargers Had a Choice Between Taking a Bobcat and a Red Stag

Someone asked me, “What would be your dream hunt?” I would love to go to Africa and hunt a leopard or any of the other big cats in Africa. I think they’re beautiful animals, and I know they’re really tough to take. But to be honest, anytime I’m in the woods hunting I’m where I want to be.

DIY Coyote Calling

Paying attention to a few details, along with a little practice on some calls can make any predator hunter enjoy this action-packed style of predator hunting for years to come. To me it brings out that personal satisfaction of “I called that coyote in," not some recording blasting out of a speaker. So, get out and try hand and mouth calling coyotes.

Predator Populations Swell

Coyote hunting has its share of controversy. Some view these animals as furry and cuddly, while many see them as snarling, vicious carnivores. A number of influences have caused coyote densities to change significantly over the years. While numbers have been impacted, some of the old hunting methods used by the early settlers are still the best tactics.

Firearms for Predators

I will spend almost every weekend and free time that I have from now until the end of March chasing coyotes. And you can bet I will either be packing my 22 Hornet or my 12-gauge shotgun. These are my two guns of choice, and I have been really successful through the years with both.

Judging Your Hunt’s Success

That particular trip out West goes down as one of my best trips even though I didn’t tag an animal. So always try to keep things in perspective when you travel out of state on a hunt. Try to always look at the trip as the adventure; tagging an animal is the cherry on top.

Trapping Is A Great Winter Hobby

As cold winter temperatures approach, the once easy meals for predators like coyotes and bobcats become a little harder to come by. Rodents, moles, birds, rabbits all begin to move less and stay hunkered down making the predators work a little harder for a meal. Trapping is my favorite hobby of the winter time and there is no shortage of people who will let you trap their land for predators or other fur bearers. Much
