Tell the Hunting Story with Your Video

Mossy Oak’s Terry Drury Gives More Tactics for How to Take Big Bow Bucks

Most of our finding deer to hunt is through observed movement. My brother Mark and I spend countless hours just watching areas with deer feeding in fields in the evening. Sometimes those fields are full of agricultural crops, but early in the year, we may watch a green field source. During a dry year, deer may be coming to a clover field or perhaps a winter wheat field you've planted as a food plot. We

Terry Drury Tells How to Hunt Your Bow Buck and Using a Green Field within a Green Field Tactic

After pinpointing the best property, observing the deer – perhaps five or six bucks – and narrowing it down to one buck I’ll hunt, I hunt from September 1 all the way through January. There are certain areas we hunt early on. In October, we'll key in on a water source if it's a warm, dry fall.

Ticks Causing Meat Allergy

Early season hunters need to beware of ticks! Besides carrying lime disease the “Lone Star Tick” has been conveying a meat allergy to its victims throughout the southeastern United States.

People who acquire this new allergy cannot eat any meat that comes from mammals (like beef, pork and venison)! Patients have reported suffering from nasty

TIP: Catch Fall Army Worms Early

An early and warm spring followed by a hot and dry summer has led to ideal conditions for army worm outbreaks this fall. Army worms are the larvae of tropical moths that migrate into the U.S. Larvae are laid by the moths on blades of grass in pastures as well as crop lands. Outbreaks are usually worst in the Gulf Coast states, but tropical storms often increase a surge further north into the Midwestern states.

Backstrap App's by BeckyLou

Great Appetizers!!! This recipe is made for 1 lb of chunks. Cut the meat into 1 inch squares. Marinate in Zesty Italian dressing at least 1 hr, I like to leave them in the Frig overnight. Pour off "ALL" marinade!! Season to taste with cajun seasoning to taste, choose one that is less salty, as the Worcestershire & Soy sauce provide a LOT of SALT! Add Onion Powder and Garlic Powder.
