Fishing Secondary Points for Summertime Bass

The first place I’d look for bass this time of year, anywhere in the country, is on secondary points. Bass move onto and off of secondary points, and I like to try to catch bass coming to me from both directions – deep water and shallow water. I especially like to fish a secondary point that has a steep drop-off into deep water on one side of the point. I’ll often look for a creek

Rewards of Managing Land for Wildlife as a GameKeeper

I took a nice buck with my bow last season that would score about 135 inches. The buck came in to within 15 yards of my stand. That’s the first deer we’ve harvested on property. That was a very neat feeling. I feel confident that our hunting only will get better as we continue to improve the land and the food for wildlife on it. I think the tree plantings will be a long-term source

Manage Invasive Plants for a Variety of Wildlife

Our section of Indiana has quite a bit of bush honeysuckle and wintercreeper – both invasive species. We believe that if we can get rid of much of those invasive species we can increase the variety of wildlife we have on our land. Honeysuckle isn’t a bad plant, until it becomes so thick that animals can’t move through it. It does have some value for wildlife; however, it’s a very aggressive growing plant that can

GameKeeper Quick Tip: Managing Your Bass Pond

For a recreational bass fishing pond to reach its full potential and maintain that peak, it must be managed throughout the year. One major component of managing a fish pond is controlling the fish population. If a pond gets overpopulated, there becomes a lack of food and there will be a corresponding decrease in fish size and health.

Wild Turkey Recipe: Grilled Southwestern Wild Turkey Roll

Grilling wild turkey can be challenging. There are a handful of crafty methods for retaining moisture and tenderness in your bird while it’s resting over a pile of dry, smoky coals.

How To Find and Catch Deep Water Crappie

To find these locations, look for creek channels and drops and where they may intersect. You want to find “tops,” either manmade or natural

One GameKeeper's First Steps for Managing A New Property

The first thing I did when I bought this land was establish our property lines. Before we acquired this land, everyone picked mushrooms, ran their dogs, hunted squirrels and deer, ran their four wheelers and rode their horses across that property. I visited all the neighbors and told them we had bought the land and weren’t having any hunting there – at least for the first year – to learn what wildlife we had on
