Give Yourself an Edge

When evaluating properties and making recommendations to landowners, I am often confronted with a situation that is common to many older, well-established food plots.

The Gobbler That Charged and Flogged a Coyote

I heard a ruckus close to Jeff that I couldn’t figure out. I heard the turkey putting as he went past me. I couldn’t stand not being able to see what was happening, so I peeped over the creek bank.

Double Gobble Turkey Call

Having a variety of calls in your vest is key, from mouth calls to friction calls to box calls or push-pull calls. One other call is a “gobble” call that is sometimes overlooked. A prevalent reason this call is overlooked is lacking confidence in producing a realistic sound of a gobbler.

A Real Mossy Oak Moment

I dared not blink while the poacher scanned the ridge for the source of the turkey sounds he had undoubtedly heard coming from my slate moments earlier. The scope on top of the 22 magnum looked ominous through the lens of my video camera, which was zoomed to 14 power.

After the bird was down, we hugged, high-fived and shot pictures. As we walked back toward the truck, Alice, said, “You know, it’s kind of early.” I knew what she meant.

U.S. Feral Pig Problem Increasing, Texas Hog Population to Triple in Five Years

It is no question that the nation’s feral pig numbers are on the rise, to the detriment of both farmers and native wildlife. New Mexico recently launched a $1 million project that will involve both wildlife employees and hunters in an effort to quell the hogs’ population boom, but it is outmatched by nearby Texas, which spends $7 on their management programs.
