Give Them What They Need

Aside from beauty and strength, you should see a tree that delivers a vital food source to your deer herd. However, as trees grow and withstand the tests of time, we tend to ignore them a bit. We take those monster trees for granted and just expect them to leaf out every year and do what they’ve always done. The truth is, these trees shouldn’t be ignored.

How to Get Access to Prime Deer and Turkey Land with ProStaffer Steven Reinhold

Anytime a landowner is having a problem with coyotes killing and eating livestock, destroying his crops, coming too close to the family dog or killing his wildlife, I can come in and solve that problem for that landowner. I don’t charge for removing predators, because often landowners will invite me to hunt deer and turkeys on their land in exchange.

Deer Stand Location

Whenever possible, design your plot around a certain tree or trees that are favorable for the wind and allow you to sneak in and out without bumping deer. A lot of hunters overlook the importance of getting out of the stand without tipping their hand to the deer.

Tools of the Trade

Not every food plot is chiseled out and planted with a tractor. There are some, especially for those looking to create a secluded honeyhole, that simply require a lot of elbow grease.

Steven Reinhold Hunts Predators

The real secret to taking coyotes or any-other predators in the East is to scout. The good news is, when you scout for deer, you also can scout for predators. I start by talking to farmers and ranchers. Most people who earn their livings from the land really would like to see the predators removed. Most landowners not only welcome me with open arms but often want to know if I can start hunting the

The Most Thrilling Hunt of Nicole Jones Reeve’s Life

Finally we found the Houdini bull sitting under a shade tree in the middle of the day. George said, “For the correct wind, we need to circle around the bull, get down in the river and stalk him from the river.” We had seen crocodiles only 200-yards upstream. I looked at George and said, “You’ve got to be kidding.”

Nicole Jones Reeve Tells about Being Inside a Brown Bear’s Den

For this hunt, Pat said, “Why don’t we do a snow pack hunt and try and find a brown bear coming out of hibernation. That’s more of a ‘Driven’ TV hunt, because you don’t see many hunts like that on television.” I said, “Let’s do it.” We flew to Anchorage, Alaska, and then took another plane to Willow. Finally, we took a DeHavilland Beaver airplane that carried skis instead of tires for landing on ice

If there were a whitetail bedded within 100 yards of your treestand could you approach and climb the stand without alerting the animals? How about 50 yards, or maybe less? This Wildlife Obsession tip might help.

Planting No-Till Plots

Some may argue that the ability to increase the quality of the deer herd is limited to those with an abundance of expendable income, large pieces of property and heavy equipment to complete the chore. No doubt, all these extras help tremendously, but anyone with the determination to improve the quality of hunting on any ground, regardless of equipment availability or the size of the property, can do so.

Nicole Jones Reeve’s 900 Pound Alligator with Her Bow

Finally, the alligator popped-up on the surface about 50-yards away. All we could see was the alligator’s eyes, and his mouth to the end of his nose. I had been told the best place to shoot an alligator was right between the eyes. If I couldn’t get that shot, I was to shoot a few inches behind the eyes. I got as steady as I could get and took the shot.
