Allen Treadwell’s Best Buck Deer Scored 164

We were hunting in Oklahoma and had talked to some bowhunters who had seen a big buck on the edge of a milo field. They said there was no way they could hunt this good deer with their bows. One of the problems with the word “a good deer” is the person that’s qualifying the size of the deer. “A good deer” by some hunter’s standards may be a buck that scores 110 inches. When

The Double Barrel Loader: Your New Insurance Policy

The hunting industry is growing year after year with more products available for us as hunters. Each year I come across a few products that truly help me be more productive in the field. I call these products “game changers,” because they are unique and designed to help the hunter harvest more animals. The Double Barrel Arrow Loader is one of those “game changers” that I will be using year round on my bow.

Allen Treadwell Tells Us How 30 Days of Preparation Enabled Him to Take the Big 8

While hunting in Kansas, one of the toughest bucks that I ever took was Big 8. I found him in the early season. My outfitter saw Big 8 in a part of the ranch that he never had seen him before. The buck was with a doe during the rut. So, the first thing we did was to put out some trail cameras to try and define Big 8’s home range

Bassin' the Dog Days

Summertime can be one of the most frustrating times of the year for a bass angler because of the miserable summer heat. A lot of bass fishermen choose to stay inside this time of year and stay cool, and I don’t blame them. Dripping in sweat is not my idea of a pleasant day afield. Being a tournament angler for many years has made me learn the ins and outs of summertime fishing, and I

Make Your Clover Last for Years

Most companies will claim a lifespan of three to five years on their perennials. However, if you care for them properly a perennial stand can last for many years. Perennials like red and white clovers, alfalfa, trefoils and chicory provide dependable nutrition and attraction and are especially important for antler growth, fawn rearing and early hunting season attraction. If you follow these words of advice you will get the most out of your perennial stand.

Allen Treadwell on How He Became a Professional Hunter and Perhaps You Can Too

I'm often asked, “How does someone become a professional hunter like you?” I can’t speak for other professional hunters. The way I got on with Bass Pro Shops, eventually working with two of their shows, and being on their Pro Staff was through competitive and Olympic shotgun shooting. The second thing someone generally asks me is, “How does competitive shooting relate to being a professional deer hunter?” The answer is quite simple.

Corky and George Richardson - a Man and His Son Are of the Same Mind and Hunting Runs Through It

What I like about hunting with my dad is we are kindred spirits. We can leave camp. I can go one way, and Dad can head in another direction. Usually, within 4 hours of not having seen each other, we’ll be standing or sitting on the same rock, even though we never planned to meet that morning. Whatever I’ve learned from him, and whatever I’ve taught him, we both seem to have the same mind.
