How To Lighten Your Load

I’ve heard of sheep hunters cutting the tags off their clothing to save weight. That’s a bit extreme in my opinion, but there’s no doubt that being ounce-stingy when backpacking or mountain hunting pays dividends.

Hypoxia in High Elk Country

You need to be aware of the dangers of hunting high in elk country. Altitude might not bother a hunter on nine trips, and on the tenth – for no apparent reason – it can come crashing in like Hurricane Katrina. I’ve dealt with mild altitude sickness and splitting headaches in the past. But last week, in Colorado, I had my first real brush with hypoxia.

Fish Year-Round by Flippin’

I’ve caught a lot of fish, a lot of different ways, and in a lot of different conditions. However, one of my favorite ways to catch bigger bass is to flip Texas-rigged baits into heavy cover. Flippin’ is a method that can be fished year round and is effective all around the country. When I’m out on a lake, I constantly look for the thickest, nastiest cover, because that’s where some of the bigger fish

3 Reasons to Plant Trees in the Fall

It’s now possible to plant trees with success any time of the year. Generally speaking, the traditional planting time for folks in the South is February through mid-March, and folks up North have to wait for the ground to thaw in the spring. These still remain safe and reliable tree planting times. However, with the advent of containerized, air-pruned seedlings, such as those from Nativ Nurseries, seedlings don’t have to be dormant to be planted.

Fall Tree Fertilization

Most folks fertilize their trees in the late winter and spring. That’s a great time to fertilize, because the plants are either about to grow or are making their big spring time flush of growth, and need the extra energy. It’s also cooler and raining frequently, which can help get nitrogen to the plant roots before it vapes off into the atmosphere.

Women Hunters Pursuing Elk Hunting

I was raised with hunters, and I’ve always had many family members and friends who were elk hunters. So, to me, my becoming an elk hunter was natural.

Often, the first to mid-December, white-tailed does, and bucks go into what many hunters refer to as the second rut.
