The Fantastic Food Plot

With proper liming, fertilizing, seed planting and weed control, a hunter can produce up to 10,000 pounds of digestible deer forage per food plot acre, per year---at a cost of between $250 to $500 per acre, according to agricultural experts. The average hardwoods acre, however, grows only 50 to 500 pounds of deer forage annually, including choice acorns from oaks.

An Alaskan Bear Hunt with Ashley Jay

About 2-years ago, I went on a black bear hunt in Alaska. My father, who didn’t know much about bears, wasn’t really excited about his young daughter hunting bears in Alaska. He begged me not to go. To be honest, no one in my family was excited about me going on this bear hunt, especially with my bow.

Ashley Jay Is Living Her Outdoor Dream

After high school, my first stop in college was in Orlando at the University of Central Florida. My next stop was Valencia College. Then I transferred to Greenville Tech where I’m majoring in biology and currently am in my sophomore year of college. But I’ll have to honest. My heart is in the outdoors.

I didn’t grow up in a hunting family or in the country where I would have had a lot of opportunity to hunt. I was born in Miami, Florida, just outside the Everglades. But I always had a passion for the outdoors and being outdoors. So, my parents bought me a horse.

What speeds can your bow reach?

One piece of equipment that we begin to work on now is our bows. I like to get my bow set up for hunting whitetails and other big game early, so when I practice during the summer, I am dialed in for hunting season. Many people often wonder how to estimate a bow’s speed under different setups. By knowing the IBO/ATA specification of a bow, it is possible to get a decent estimation of how

Kristen Kelly on Touring With Brad Paisley

I’m often asked, “What was being on tour with Brad Paisley like?” I can honestly say that tour was really a lot of fun. Brad Paisley is such a gracious guy. He would take us to different places every weekend. For instance, he rented a movie theater and took us all to see the movie “The Incredibles.” He took us go-cart racing and bowling, and he threw a couple of parties that we all attended.

Kristen Kelly: On the Way to the Top of Country Music

I averaged 150-180 days on tour exclusively in Texas. At that time, I made the decision that music would be my career. I recorded a couple of albums and produced those albums independently in Texas, and I had a couple of singles on the Texas music charts. Texas has its own charts that the radio stations in Texas have helped to develop. Their charts are separate from and independent of the Billboard charts.

Want to attract more gamebirds this year?

Our modern day food plot planting practices are not very conducive to feeding quail, turkeys, etc; we plant every available open piece of ground for our deer and figure the birds will be fine. It doesn’t take a large area to feed a lot of birds and designating a third or a quarter acre section out of some of your deer plots for a strip or perimeter of WhistleBack will go a long way in

Kristen Kelly Tells about the Road She’s Traveled to Become a Country Artist

I grew up singing in Cottonwood Baptist church in Lorena, Texas, and singing at church camps. My granddad, Sterling Kelly, was a country singer/songwriter who sang throughout Texas. Even today one of his songs is on iTunes.
