Mike Monteleone Explains Other Places Bucks Bed

During early bow season in September and October, bucks have the same problem hunters have: bugs. Bucks often will bed on the tops of hills or mountains for two reasons. Generally the air will be cooler the higher they move-up a mountain, plus there may be a slight breeze. Both of these conditions help to keep bugs off the deer. However, generally, does, for some reason, tend to bed in low areas where there are

How to Pattern Bucks on Small Properties with ProStaffer Mike Monteleone

At any given time, I’ll have 10- to 15-different pieces of property to hunt. The properties I hunt primarily are small, from 8 to 400 acres. I put out Covert trail cameras that run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year, even on properties I’ve hunted for years. From my cameras, I’ve learned where to put up my tree stands, when to put them up and when to move

When the Flood Comes

The good news for us is that although our wildlife populations may take a huge hit, the environment is enhanced by the flooding. New nutrients are brought in by the flood, giving native plant species a boost. Know that even with the horrendous destruction there is a light at the end of the tunnel and renewed optimism. We must simply make the best of the consequences and continue to improve as GameKeepers.

The Strategies of Hinge Cutting

Hinge cutting is an easy to do habitat modification that has been gaining popularity over recent years because of the increase in the micromanagement of land to hold more wildlife, improve the hunting experience and increase the odds for hunting success. Most hinge cutting techniques involve cutting partially through a tree and laying it to the ground to create a living, horizontal habitat structure. This technique may be modified and placed appropriately to produce different

Does Count with ProStaffer Parrish Elliott

By taking does in the early season, I get tuned-up to hunt a buck. I then can better handle the excitement of having a deer within bow range, steadying my nerves and making a good shot. I like to put three or four does in my freezer at the first of the season. Then, I become a Hunter for the Hungry, giving the surplus does that I harvest to the food bank. Most of the

Do Trail Cameras Spook Deer

Arguably trail cameras are one of the top new tools introduced in the hunting industry in the past 30 years.

One of the advantages of using game cameras, if you use them effectively, is you can get pictures of about 90 percent of the deer living on the land you hunt, or that pass through the land that you hunt.

Food Plot Crops that Bring Down Big Bucks

During late summer and fall planting season much of what will be sewed are seeds that grow plants meant for attraction. Some of the plants also have great nutritional value too, but most hunters really don’t think about that. They want a plot that will give them harvest opportunities. For this type of a “hunting plot,” plant selection, plot design and timing your plantings are very important components for success.

The Downtown Buck Deer with ProStaffer Parrish Elliott

I took a nice 10-pointer inside the city limits where I live. A friend of mine had permission to hunt 70 acres and invited me to hunt with him one day. I knew this area fairly well, because it was near where I had grown up. The deer always had been on these 70 acres. I could remember seeing deer on this property back when I was a teenager.

Before opening day of bow season, the deer in my area are usually in the agricultural fields. I try and stay as far away from those deer as I can and still be able to see them.
