Most turkey hunters start scouting for turkeys a week or two before the season begins, but I start 30-days before the season. I’m looking for the turkeys that are the farthest from the parking lot or any road. Those turkeys are the ones I plan to hunt on opening morning.

Day 4: How to Successfully Hunt Turkeys on Public Land with Mossy Oak’s Tracy Groves

I go into the woods at first light and get to the highest point I can find. Then I listen for turkeys to gobble and use my compass to determine the direction from which the gobbling is coming. When daylight occurs, and the turkeys shut-up, I walk in the direction where I’ve heard the turkeys gobble and look for the nearest water to that spot.

Gain Control Over Predators

If you’re managing a property for a game species, predator control is extremely important – they’re your competition. Controlling the amount of coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, skunks and other varmints is typically done by hunting or trapping. During the winter can be the best time for both, hunting or trapping simply because their food is scarcer now than at other times, especially in the north where a blanket of snow covers most food sources.

I think it’s a lot to ask from a new hunter to realize what’s really important about spending time outdoors In the beginning it’s pretty much all about taking.

Wintertime Management Tips

Hopefully your trophies are at the taxidermist waiting to be mounted, your freezer is full, and you have obtained memories that will last you a lifetime. Most of the hunting seasons have been going on for sometime and are now winding down.

Day 2: How to Successfully Hunt Turkeys on Public Land with Mossy Oak’s Tracy Groves

Hunters educate turkeys to the fact that when they hear doors slam and owl hoots that more-than likely there’s a hunter in the woods. So, when I’m hunting public lands, I don’t use an owl hoot or a crow call.

Once the opportunity presents itself to take a trophy buck standing 20-yards from you, during bow season, you can’t let the emotions of buck fever take charge of your shot. You have

Flora Six Feet High

A whitetail’s world exists from six feet high and down to the ground. Quite frankly, unless a canopy tree is producing a mast crop of some kind it’s really not doing the whitetails any good at all. It’s difficult to convince some land owners to cut mature trees, but specifically relating to whitetail habitat, where ever you can allow the sunlight to hit the soil you will increase the stem density. That means more food
