Terry Drury On Phase 3: The October Lull of Deer Season

During the October Lull of deer season, about 95 percent of the deer’s movements occur at night. We start seeing a lot of scrapes at this time, and we know the scrapes are being made at night. The deer no longer come to green fields during daylight but do stay in their bedding areas. During the Lull, they have micro home ranges, and they’re in hard horn. They're a little indecisive about where they want

Terry Drury Explains Phase 2: Greener Pastures Deer Hunting

During this phase, if you're checking your trail cameras regularly, you'll see that daylight activity begins to pick up. Older-age-class bucks will start moving during daylight hours. Also, at this time of the year, you'll have more solid and dependable wind direction. The bucks will come to green fields quite a bit, and the bucks are starting to scrape a little.

Feed Your Food Plots

Too many food plot farmers grab a few bags of 10-10-10 at a nearby big-box store and use it on their food plots. They believe they’ve done the correct thing, but they may have done more harm than good. They apply the fertilizer without knowing whether they need that ratio or amount of nutrients or not. Why make the process a “crap-shoot?”

Mossy Oak Yazoo Rifle Case in Blaze

It is getting to be that time when you pull out the rifles and start shooting as part of your prep for hunting season, which is just right around the corner. Your rifle and scope are most likely your greatest investment as it relates to your hunting equipment. Too often I see these really nice rifles in a gun case that is not well constructed. I often scratch my head when I see this. While

Pat and Nicole Reeve Double Down On Saskatchewan Bucks in the Fall of 2013

One of our favorite places to whitetail hunt is Buck Paradise Outfitters in Saskatchewan Canada, operated by Grant and Shelly Kuypers. We also took Mike Jahnke on the hunt with us. He was going with Brian Limpkey to film for him, and Pat and I planned to hunt together and film each other. About 9:00 am, a big 9-point buck came in with chocolate-colored horns, 23 yards from our blind.

Repetition is the key. Keep simulating hunts all summer, shooting over and over at foam deer beneath your perch. When archery season rolls around, the act of shooting an incoming buck will be instinctive, and that’s exactly what you want.

Nicole Reeve Tells Us about a 390 Roaring Stag She Took at 5 Steps with Her Bow

We all took nice red stags. In camp every night, we’d share our stories with each other about the hunts. This camaraderie made this hunt very special. I don’t believe any of us ever will forget this

Refreshing old mineral sites or creating new ones is also a good family and kid friendly management activity. It doesn’t require any heavy equipment or long hours and can be a great way to help teach kids some woodsmanship along the way

Nicole Reeve Bowhunts Musk Ox On Top Of the World in the Spring of 2014

At this time of the year, our Inuit guides were searching for musk ox on snowmobiles. We knew that when musk ox felt threatened, they would get in a defensive circle. Often their hindquarters would be touching each other, and their heads facing out of the circle. The bigger musk ox would try to huddle around the smaller musk ox. Since I was hunting with a bow and arrow, I had to get in close

Why financing land is a good thing

Financing is often the only way people can purchase expensive things. Instead of having to pay $30,000 on the spot for a car, a person will finance the purchase, allowing them to make payments over a long period of time. And finally, after all the payments have been made, the vehicle is theirs. Those buying land are offered the same advantages. Where they would otherwise be unable to afford a tract of land, financing makes
