Bucks, Birds and Bowfishing

I like to fish, too, and my husband and I compete in carp shooting tournaments (bowfishing) during the summer months. I always have loved to be outside, and I guess that’s due to my dad always taking me with him when he went hunting and fishing. I’m only 1-1/2 years younger than my brother, but I think I’m more into fishing and hunting than he is. Of course, that may be because he has two

The Benefits of Being a Female Hunter

I’m on the outside looking in, and I’ve always hunted deer with my dad. So, my understanding why other women don’t hunt is hard. But I guess it’s like one of my girlfriends who never had hunted or known anyone who did. After meeting me and moving into our town where the culture in our town is that everybody hunts, she started hunting and really likes it.

How to Stay Warm While Hunting

I have lived in North Dakota for 26 years. In that time, I have hunted some very harsh conditions. It’s never an easy hunt but the rewards can make it well worth the effort. There are many factors involved in comfortably hunting cold weather including proper preparation, quality clothing, individual tolerances and plain ole determination. Here are some of my tips for not just surviving a cold weather hunt but actually enjoying it.

Balancing Work, Family and Hunting

I really love hunting with my dad. I've hunted with him ever since I could walk in the woods. Since I've had children myself, finding time to hunt with my dad has become more difficult. But most of the time we usually get to hunt together at least once a week, which is great.

Wood Ducks: the Awesomeness of Waterfowl Hunting

The wood duck drake has – in my opinion – some of the most startlingly beautiful plumage of all 41 North American waterfowl species. Woodies are moderately-sized dabbling ducks; at approximately 20 inches long with a wingspan of around 28 inches, a mature wood duck is still 25-percent smaller than their mallard counterpart.

Reconsider Hunting Public Lands

Private-land hunters are taking a tremendous amount of pressure off public lands, and this factor may be the reason we’re starting to see some really-nice bucks coming off New York’s public lands. I just learned recently that there’s much more public land in the State of New York than I ever realized. That’s the reason our family is starting to look into how much public land is available to be hunted.

Duck Hunting Basics

Late the previous afternoon, I had followed a flight of mallards and pintails as they left their staging water and headed out for an evening feed. Ducks have a sixth sense for finding the best feed in the country, so I wasn’t surprised that these hungry "quackers" had set their sights on a recently harvested pea field—and that’s exactly where I set up the next day. Just think like a hungry duck, and you’ll find

Public and Private Land Hunting in Pennsylvania

In the past, finding a place to hunt where you didn’t see a large group of other hunters was an issue in Pennsylvania. But if the hunters will spend more time and do more research, they can pinpoint places now where there’s less hunting pressure and more deer, and the odds of taking an older-age-class buck are much better.
