Temperature Helps Determine Decoy Set-Ups

Some hunters will set their decoys really close together when the weather is hot. That’s a mistake. Other hunters will set their decoys too far apart from each other when the weather is very cold. That's also a mistake.

Tips for Late Season Duck Hunting Decoy Spreads

When I'm hunting stale ducks during the late season, I use two types of decoy spreads. I’ll put out smaller decoy spreads in a really secluded area and perhaps only two dozen decoys in a pothole. The water may be so shallow in these little potholes that we may not be able to get our boat blind in to them. We may have to wade into them, which is nothing new for many duck hunters.

Understanding and Controlling Coyotes

Coyotes are generally given a bad rap by gamekeepers and hunters, and for good reason. These skilled predators will eat just about anything, including deer (especially fawns) turkeys (including eggs and poults), rabbits and other small game. Their omnivorous diet includes rodents, birds, insect's, snakes, fish, frogs, crustaceans, fruits, vegetables, grass, trash, pet food and carrion. Pet owners and ranchers consider them destructive pests that will kill pets, calves, lambs, poultry or other livestock.

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.

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.
