Bit By the Turkey Bug

Our friend Ray Boggs came down to my dad’s house and said, “Let’s go turkey looking” (in other words, scouting before the season). When Mr. Boggs and my dad, Cam Campbell, went turkey looking, they’d drive around the back roads and listen for turkeys to gobble. They invited me to go with them when I was about 13 years old. The first time I heard a turkey gobble, I asked “What’s that?” And they told

Mossy Oak Folks Do the Right Thing

I know that we all feel like that we get more out of guiding on these charity hunts than we give. We enjoy turkey hunting, helping people raise money for worthy causes, the friends we meet along the way and the fact that helping others is another major thread that runs through the fabric of Mossy Oak.

Deer that enter the spring in top physical shape, rather than having to repair and play catch up, have their best chance of reaching their genetic potential. Doe will have healthier fawns and bucks can have a head start on that next set of antlers when they have a steady nutritional late season/early spring food source.

Who Is the Mossy Oak Family and How Did It Become That?

I also guide my family on turkey hunts. My son, Gregory, and I were hunting out in Texas. I yelped a few times on my big, long box call. The turkeys answered, and I told Gregory, “Let’s mount our horses.” We didn’t really have any horses, but I meant we had to run to the spot to set up to call the turkeys. When we reached the place I wanted to be, I sat Gregory

Bill Sugg Says Sharing Turkey Hunting is about Giving Back

Bill Sugg, the president of Haas Outdoors/Mossy Oak, has been with the company and Toxey Haas, since its beginning. The relationship between Sugg and Haas was rooted in turkey hunting.

From the President’s Point Of View

All the top people in Mossy Oak are turkey hunters. Toxey even suggested we might put a box for a check mark by the question, “Do you turkey hunt?” on our application for employment. My passion for turkey hunting is much like what happens when you throw a rock into a puddle of water. Those few ripples after the rock hits the water represent my family and Mossy Oak friends. They know how much I

Keith Kelly Loves to Go West to Hunt Gobbling Turkeys

There’s not a better decoy made than a live hen out in front of a hunter’s blind. In just a few minutes, we looked to the right and saw a longbeard coming into the food plot from the same direction that the hen had come. He was shying away from my hen decoy and was walking toward the live hen he could see out in the field. When the gobbler was about 35 yards from
