Financing is often the only way people can purchase expensive things. Instead of having to pay $30,000 on the spot for a car, a person will finance the purchase, allowing them to make payments over a long period of time. And finally, after all the payments have been made, the vehicle is theirs. Those buying land are offered the same advantages. Where they would otherwise be unable to afford a tract of land, financing makes

Nicole Reeve Remembers Her Best Hunts

An official member of the Mossy Oak Pro Staff for 8 years, Nicole’s an admitted adrenaline junkie. “This spring I decided I would take a brown bear with my bow.

Jim Shockey - Where I'm Going and What I Plan to Do When I Get There

I think our hunting goals evolve as we get older, and an adventure takes on a different meaning. When I'm 80, adventure may be hiking out to the back of our 40-acre ranch in Saskatchewan, Canada, and trying to take a big deer. My concept of adventure is that anytime you leave the asphalt, step into the woods, climb up the mountains and go down into the valleys of the wild lands, you're having an

Jim Shockey Says He’s Never Road Weary and Has Plenty of Animals He Loves to Hunt

I've been very fortunate to have a large number of generous people who have offered me the opportunity to hunt with them on their properties and hunt for all types of game. I can’t possibly go on every hunt that I have the opportunity to go on in four lifetimes. Now, the hunts I do go on are hunts in places and for animals that I feel are really special.

Jim Shockey Remembers When His 21 Year Old Daughter Eva Told Him She Wanted to Hunt

When she came home after graduation, she came to where I was working and said, “Dad, I want to learn to hunt.” I just about had a heart attack.

Food Plot Variety Equals All Season Usage

If you have enough ground to devote to your food plot program, most managers would agree that a well diversified plot with a variety of plants to give your herd what they need regardless of the time or conditions is the way to go. Some of the plants you choose would be perennials; however, for attraction during hunting season it’s hard to beat a food plot full of luscious annuals.

Jim Shockey Explains Why He’s Joined the Mossy Oak Family

The main reason I didn’t wear camo was because I couldn’t find any camouflage clothing manufacturer that produced the type of clothing I needed and wanted to wear on my adventures.

I saw the quality of adventure hunting clothes, and the technology of high-tech

What is your Fall Game Plan?

Every year I look back on the previous season and analyze how things went. As I have progressed as a bowhunter, it has been less about how many deer I harvested and more about what I have learned. This year is no different. I will begin to reflect on what happened during the last two to three seasons and evaluate what went right and what went wrong. What hunting scenarios seemed to produce the most

Pat Reeve on Growing Bigger Bucks on the Property You Hunt

By keeping trail-camera pictures of the bucks on the property you hunt each year, you can begin to see an antler pattern as the bucks grow. For instance, you'll see that certain bucks tend to express only an 8-point rack each season, a 7-point rack or a 6-point rack. When we see a buck like that, we’ll often put him on the hit list for the next season. As I mentioned, I’ll put the bucks
