Kentucky Elk Offering Kids a Shot

One of the most coveted tags in all of the outdoors, Kentucky’s quota elk hunt offers the public a chance to chase wild elk in the Bluegrass State. The annual lottery is open to the public, but chances of a non-resident drawing a rifle bull tag run in the neighborhood of one in 600. A handful of tags are allotted by the state’s wildlife commissioner to charitable organizations to be raffled or auctioned for a

Taking Home a Memory of a Lifetime and a Gobbler for the Table

Since the hunt is over when you squeeze the trigger, why not get the most fun, excitement and joy that you can out of a turkey hunt? By being a little bit more patient and watching that turkey do all he can do before he leaves, or you harvest him, and waiting on the turkey to fight the decoy and then watching that fight, I think takes turkey hunting to an all together different level.

Mossy Oak Deluxe Binocular Straps

Most binoculars come with a single strap to attached to so you can wear over your shoulder or around your neck. This can be an effective way to carry them without question. The downside, if you are wearing them around your neck, is that they will bounce when you have to move quickly from one set up to the next. They can easily move or bump other equipment resulting in unwanted noise. Finally, they can

Wait for the Fight to Get the Most from Your Turkey Hunt

In my opinion, the single most-important ingredient to have a successful turkey hunt is not your calling ability or the way you position your decoys - it’s learning and practicing patience. Any turkey hunter who has been hunting turkeys for any length of time has had at least three or four turkeys that he’s thought have left and aren't coming in that have spooked when he’s gotten up and not seen them.

J.J. Kent Says to Change Your Decoy Spread Each Time You Set Up to Call Gobblers

During the spring, our Rio Grande turkeys have a set pattern. They gobble from the roost. Then when they come off the roost, the hens will come to them, and they’ll often breed the hens close to the roost tree. When they find a hen to breed, or they learn that none of the hens want to breed, the next thing they do is go and feed. To take a turkey, you’ve either got to

Why J.J. Kent Likes a Two Blind Set-Up and to Set-Up Decoys at 12 To 14 Yards

I’ll set-up my hunters in a pop-up blind with Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity camouflage. I can have one or two hunters in one blind, and I’ll set-up a second blind right beside and touching the hunter’s blind. I’ll sit in, call, video and shoot digital pictures from this blind that has a window on both sides as well as a window that opens to the front. The hunters will zip down their sides, and I’ll

When a landowner is looking to sell his or her land, the goal is to appeal to the right buyer and settle on an agreeable price.

Food for the Soul

At least half the tall tales from hunting camp will be about the food. Ol’ Joe’s fried tenderloin or big John’s chili will get as much air time as someone’s buck story. There are many common threads intertwined in these camps, cooks and tales but the one constant is good people. There’s something about these folks; these hunting, fishing, camping out, charcoaling, camo clad smiling nimrods that sometimes eat too much that raises them to

Tracy Groves on When Turkey Hunting Is More Than Bagging a Gobbler

I really love spending time in the woods with anybody who gets emotionally torn up when a turkey gobbles and becomes even more excited when a turkey moves in close. We don’t always have to harvest a bird to have a successful hunt. Again, that’s the difference in a woodsman and a turkey hunter. Often, a turkey hunter feels like he fails if he misses the shot, or if he doesn’t get the shot. But

The Importance of Passing the Turkey Hunting Heritage On to Family and Friends

A woodsman learns the double joy associated in calling in turkeys or finding deer for his/her family member, newcomers to the sport and people who’ve never had an opportunity to hunt and take gobblers. The woodsman knows where to set-up, when to call, what calls to use and when to stay silent. He often knows how to manipulate the turkey (if that’s possible) to put the gobbler in front of the person he's guiding. When
