Explaining the excitement and joy you feel when you locate that bow buck and finally put your hands on his antlers, for me, creates far more pleasure and excitement than I’ve ever hunting with a rifle.

Frustrated and Bored But Mohan Gets An 8-Point Kansas Buck

The next afternoon, I came in from the other side of the creek and set up my tree stand about halfway up the hill, about 30 yards from the creek. As night approached, I thought to myself, “You dummy. You should have stayed where you were yesterday. All the deer now are running on the other side of the creek where you were set up yesterday.”

Cody Mohan’s Biggest Kansas Buck

The biggest buck I’ve ever taken with my bow scored in the 160s, and I took him on November 12, 2014. I had decided that morning to hunt down in the creek bottom, because I could see somewhat further there than I could in most of the other places that I could hunt.

Land Leases, Scent Control and Hog Hunting in Texas

Most of Texas’s deer and turkey hunting land is tied up in leases. Many hunters haven’t considered the possibility of leasing land in Texas to hunt deer and turkeys, because they believe that all the leases already have been taken. However, Texas is a big state, and it has a lot of land and a lot of deer and turkeys on those lands.

Spot and Stalk Hunting for Deer by Trial and Error

My dad had told me about the spot and knew it from one end to the other. In years past, he and his friends used man drives to push whitetails out of this coolie. He told me about the trails the deer used to come into and out of the field.

A Failed Turkey Hunting Test

I took my son Colton on his first turkey hunt when he was 5 years old. We hadn’t walked too far from my truck before I started calling, and several gobblers answered. I knew about how far the turkeys were from where we were. So, I set up a ground blind. I told Colton to get inside the blind and be as quiet as possible, while I ran back to the truck and parked it

The Advantages of Deer Hunting Kansas

Hunting Kansas is unique, depending on which side of the state you hunt. In the northeastern section where I live is lots of timber. When you go to the western section of Kansas, you’ll mostly see crop lands. Although there are different terrains in Kansas, there are big deer all over the state. Kansas homes lots of timber in the northeastern part where I live, but the entire state raises plenty of crops for the

To take that nice buck, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I don’t mind getting lucky, but I really enjoy taking a buck that I’ve struggled to find and to take. I feel I’ve accomplished something if I have to work hard to take a larger buck.

How To Hunt Deer Accustomed to Their Surroundings

Deer become accustomed to the sights, smells and sounds around them. For instance, if an older-age-class deer sets up a residency close to three or four houses, I think he can distinguish the difference between the way the people who live in that neighborhood smell from a hunter who comes into the woods and has an odor different from the neighborhood folks.

The Sheer Luck Buck

In the 2006 and 2007 deer season, I was sitting in a tree late in the afternoon rattling and grunting because the rut was happening. Although I would like to say we had this buck patterned, that’s not true. I was able to take this buck that scored in the mid-160s because of sheer luck. I did have trail-camera pictures of him about a quarter of a mile from where we were hunting, and those

Bowhunting During Rifle Season Has Its Benefits

I never completely put my bow down and take only my gun. I designate the properties I have to hunt into either rifle or bowhunting lands. I’ll pick up a rifle and go hunt larger properties where my likelihood of seeing a big deer is greatest at more than 30 yards. Some of the places I’ve named for bowhunting only are where I just enjoy hunting with my bow. Other areas the landowner may restrict
