Karl Badger’s Roughest Sheep Hunt

Sheep hunting is a wilderness experience. You usually must make a pack trip on horseback or mule just to get to the place to start your hunt. Then, you’ll ride to your hunting site, tie-up your animals and begin to climb the mountains. Being able to see the world from the top of a mountain is really inspiring.

Tools and Tips for Trail Camera Success

Capturing trail camera photographs of a “behind the scenes” buck or a unique moment in nature is something many hunters lose sleep over. The strategies of when, where and how to capture these moments can be both an art and a science. The first step is to decide the type of camera, location, and timing for your plan of attack. Your next step should be getting organized.

Why ProStaffer Karl Badger Chases Antelope and Hunts in the West

We have good populations of antelope in many places here in the West. I enjoy hunting antelope, because you can start in the middle of August when the season opens. When I’ve been waiting all year long to hunt, chasing antelope is a lot of fun. They live in wide-open spaces and have extremely-good eyesight, so making a stalk can be a real challenge. Most of the time, they spot you before you see them.

The Rewards of Food Plots are within Your Grasp

Year after year we are asked if there is a new “magic bean” that will “do everything,” “work everywhere” and do everything a land manager needs. Well unfortunately…the answer is consistently, “no.” And it’s not likely that one will suddenly appear. I can assure you that BioLogic and several other seed companies are scouring the globe looking at different forages and how they may fit into the wildlife world. If it’s out there rest assured,

You Can’t Take a Mule Deer without Your Gun

We’re blessed with a lot of mule deer out here in the West, but coyotes and wolves are starting to make mule deer hunting tough. A mule deer hunt is very popular with families and first-time big-game hunters, as well as residents. Schools in many areas let students out early to hunt opening week of mule deer season. I’ve had many enjoyable mule deer hunts, but one of my most-memorable hunts occurred in a wilderness

Camouflage, and the Best Guns for Hunting Doves

Remember, doves have very-good eyesight. When they spot something unnatural in the place where they feed, travel and/or water, they’ll veer away from that unnatural object. During the early season, I almost always will wear Mossy Oak Obsession, because there is a lot of green in the part of Georgia where I hunt. For early dove season in the South, I don’t believe there is a better pattern than Mossy Oak Obsession.

Where You Place Your Feet and Using the Correct Ammo for Doves

Footwork is an important key to shooting accurately. Often a hunter will be sitting on a dove stool and has to move his body to compensate for the angle that the dove is coming toward him. He will run out of swing and pull his head up off the gun, and the gun will stop. Instead you want to have as much room as possible to swing your gun left or right, depending on the
