Hunting Ducks and Geese on Sandbars

When we duck hunt the Missouri River, most of the time, we’ll set up on sandbars. Instead of using duck decoys, we’ll put out Canada geese decoys. We use full body as well as floater goose decoys. Occasionally, we will put out a few duck decoys, but the majority of our decoys will be Canada geese.

Waterfowling 101 in the Heartland

Alabama’s Jackson Woodson Goes on a Buck Diet and Doe Feast Plan

Since Alabama deer hunters can harvest 121 deer per season, per hunter, many sportsmen who hunt deer in states that don’t have limits as liberal as Alabama don’t understand why Alabama deer hunters don’t totally decimate the deer herd.

A Management System for Overpopulated Deer Herds

Some areas of south Alabama never have had a closed deer season, even during the Great Depression of the 1930s. So, when restocking was occurring in north Alabama, deer populations continued to grow in south Alabama.

You Need to Be Careful Not to Spook Late Season Deer

Since Minnesota’s deer often bed close to their food sources, then having somewhere to put up a tree stand in between their food sources and their bedding areas, almost will be impossible. To solve this problem, we’ll usually get one of our friends to drive us along the field’s edge, so that the vehicle spooks the deer. Due to the deer bedding near the agricultural fields where we hunt, they see trucks and tractors regularly
