For whitetails, this time of year is all about perpetuation of the species and putting on enough weight and fat to survive the winter. Even though bucks cut their food intake for a period surrounding the peak of breeding, does continue “putting on the feed bag” throughout the fall months and into early

Cuz Says a Dead Deer Isn’t Always a Dead Deer

I was doing an interview with this hunter and had to change tapes in my old video camera. The whole time we were walking up to the deer, I was concerned, because I couldn’t see an entrance or an exit point of the bullet.

Dana Wall’s Experience with Alligators

When Chad originally told me that his granddad had started an alligator farm and that both he and his dad worked at the farm, I thought that was the craziest thing I ever had heard. I didn’t know anybody farmed alligators. After I learned more about it, I realized alligator farming was really neat. Since I had no experience in alligator farming, I was intrigued.
