Predator Control for Game Management

By harvesting coyotes, foxes, bobcats, raccoons and possums, you can have more deer, turkeys, quail, pheasants, squirrels and rabbits. We all know the advantage of planting supplemental food plots, fruit trees, nut trees and shrubs for wildlife. We also selectively harvest our deer herds and provide minerals for deer and turkey.

Two of ProStaffer Bucky Hauser’s Strangest Deer Hunts

I was in my stand, being quiet and sitting still when a power-company truck came in and started cutting and clearing the right-of-way on the property. They could see me in my tree stand less than 100-yards away from their chain saws and bush hoggers.

My wife was right in getting me up and sending me out to hunt.
