The Hottest Tool In A Manager’s Arsenal

Fire is an essential part of many wild ecosystems. However, to protect humans and property fires are most often extinguished as soon as they begin, often to the detriment of the wild ecosystem. Fires can be very beneficial to wildlife and the habitat where they live. Fire reduces plant residue build-up so as to prevent catastrophic fires that could happen in the future and can be vital for the regeneration of many plant species. Fires

Will Primos and His Partnership with Mossy Oak

We sat down in my restaurant between lunch and dinner, and I helped teach Bill Sugg how to improve his calling for a few hours. I learned as much from Bill as he learned from me. A few years later, Bill called me and said, “I’m going into the camouflage business with my friend Toxey Haas, and I want to come talk to you about it."

How to Handle Heavy Hunting Pressure on Turkeys and How to Hunt Thick Cover Gobblers

You’ve constantly got to change-up your calls and your strategies, so the gobbler never knows where you’ll appear, when you’ll call and what call, you’ll use. If you go into the woods before daylight, use your owl hooter, crow call, slate call, diaphragm call and box call. If you’ve been feeding him the same routine every day, you won’t be very successful. Here are some tips to help you hunt high-pressure gobblers.

Sitting Hawk Chair

As a deer hunter you know that two of the things that can ruin your hunt are getting winded and getting seen due to movement in tree or on the ground. If you turkey hunt, you know that your biggest challenge is keeping still and not being seen. Let’s face it even if you hunt the wind, you can still have a busted hunt if you are not comfortable when hunting from the ground no

Avid Turkey Hunter Chris Kirby on How to Take a Gobbler on the Other Side of the Fence

If you’re hunting turkeys on a farm or a ranch in spring, sooner or later you’ll be on one side of a fence and the gobbler you’re trying to take will be on the other side. Normally, you’d go across the fence if you had permission to hunt the land on the other side of the fence, but the turkey might be so close that if you try to go over or under the fence,

Being a GameKeeper is a way of life for all of us at Mossy Oak and we work extremely hard to bring the best out of the land we manage. I have had the opportunity to grow up around some great hunting spots. One thing I have noticed is the best spots are all carefully managed for their hunting pressure.

Quaker Boy Calls’ Chris Kirby and the Goat Hill Gobbler

We could tell the gobbler was coming, because he was gobbling more, and he kept getting louder and louder. I really thought my writer friend would bag this gobbler less than 45 minutes after his feet hit the ground, but then we heard a noise from the left. It continued to get louder and louder, and the turkey quit gobbling. Within a few minutes, we spotted a large heard of goats – 300 or 400

Protecting the Wood Duck

The most abundant species of waterfowl found in the eastern half of North America was once the wood duck. Unfortunately, as with many species, this particular group met with a huge struggle at one point that almost led to their complete demise. From finding themselves in densely populated areas which led to over-harvesting to the literal disappearance of bottomland habitats, the wood duck suffered immensely. Nearing extinction, it wasn't until the mid-20th century, when the

By Terry Madewell, originally published in the 1994 edition of Mossy Oak Bowhunting Magazine As big whitetail bucks are inclined to do, this one had done the unexpected. I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I
