Making The Cut...For Fruit

Mast trees need care from time to time if they’re going to remain productive. If left unmaintained fruit trees can grow out of control and productivity will suffer. If maintained properly it’s amazing the tonnage a few fruit trees or several mature oaks can provide. Many people think that pruning is all about “cosmetics,” but when it comes to fruit trees, proper pruning is essential for the best yield and the winter months are the

Day 3: Alex Rutledge’s Secret of Taking Field Turkeys

Day 2: Alex Rutledge Explains That You Should Hunt the Turkey Rather Than Call Him

This secret to successful turkey hunting builds off the first secret, which is to find the turkey before the season and have multiple turkeys to hunt. Some days turkeys don’t gobble.

I go into the woods at first light and get to the highest point I can find. Then I listen for turkeys to gobble and use my compass to determine the direction from which the gobbling is coming.

Gain Control Over Predators

If you’re managing a property for a game species, predator control is extremely important – they’re your competition. Controlling the amount of coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, skunks and other varmints is typically done by hunting or trapping. During the winter can be the best time for both, hunting or trapping simply because their food is scarcer now than at other times, especially in the north where a blanket of snow covers most food sources.

I think it’s a lot to ask from a new hunter to realize what’s really important about spending time outdoors In the beginning it’s pretty much all about taking. Taking a turkey, taking a deer, taking a big bass etc, it’s pretty much all one sided and that’s understandable.
