Mossy Oak’s Terry Drury Gives More Tactics for How to Take Big Bow Bucks

Sometimes those fields are full of agricultural crops, but early in the year, we may watch a green field source. During a dry year, deer may be coming to a clover field or perhaps a winter wheat field you've planted as a food plot. We

Terry Drury Tells How to Hunt Your Bow Buck and Using a Green Field within a Green Field Tactic

After pinpointing the best property, observing the deer – perhaps five or six bucks – and narrowing it down to one buck I’ll hunt, I hunt from September 1 all the way through January. There are certain areas we hunt early on. In October, we'll key in on a water source if it's a warm, dry fall.

Early season hunters need to beware of ticks! Besides carrying lime disease the “Lone Star Tick” has been conveying a meat allergy to its victims throughout the southeastern United States.

TIP: Catch Fall Army Worms Early

An early and warm spring followed by a hot and dry summer has led to ideal conditions for army worm outbreaks this fall. Army worms are the larvae of tropical moths that migrate into the U.S. Larvae are laid by the moths on blades of grass in pastures as well as crop lands. Outbreaks are usually worst in the Gulf Coast states, but tropical storms often increase a surge further north into the Midwestern states.
