The Hunting Wisdom of Hank Parker

The old hunter put his hand on my arm and said, “You need to wait a little while. Let’s go over here, sit down, and wait before you call.” Surprised, I asked, “Why do I need to wait before I call?” He proceeded to give me some tremendously-helpful wisdom I never have forgotten.

Reason for the Season

Most of us have at least a couple weeks or more of deer season left to hunt this year and many of us have filled our freezer and more by this time of year. If you live in the southern states you are gearing up for the rut and ready for a shot at the bucks you have protected all year. Guys and gals in the north and Midwest who haven’t filled their tag yet

Lisa Jane – What She Sees as Her Future in Hunting

I’d like to travel the globe, researching hunting practices of different cultures and exploring the lives of individuals dependent on hunting for their diets. Hunting isn’t antiquated, cruel or barbaric. I see hunting as beautiful, ancient, sacred and the best way to ensure the wildlife of the earth is protected and respected.

Lisa Jane on Why She Enjoys Social Media

Once I started hunting, blogging almost seemed like a natural next step. I graduated from Niagara University with a degree in English and writing. When I took a course in creative nonfiction (telling real stories in a creative way), I realized I could utilize my creativity to write about normal, everyday things. Just like my hunting, I feel I got my storytelling gift from my granddad, who was an avid Irish storyteller.

Lisa Jane on Why She Likes Bowhunting and How the Sport Empowers Her

I’m often asked, “Why do you believe women should consider shooting a bow?” I believe all women should have at least a rudimentary working knowledge of firearms as well as archery. However, I like the challenge of a bow. You have to be aware of so many things about the bow from your form to anchor point to be able to shoot it successfully. I think every woman should shoot archery, because the sport is

The Writing Huntress Lisa Jane Discusses Mossy Oak Camouflage and Women’s Hunting Apparel

When I first began hunting, I quickly realized how difficult finding good women’s camo was. Shopping for appropriate gear was my biggest hunting chore. Often I ended-up in the children’s department, silently thanking God for making me the height of a 10-year old.

Supplemental Significance

Providing nutrition the entire year-round for your whitetail herd is very important. Insufficient nutrition levels leads to weight loss, poor conception rates, lower fawn recruitment, increased vulnerability to disease…and where it counts to some gamekeepers most - poor antler development and increased mortality rates. Food plots are extremely important, but many managers have a difficult time supplying food plot forage during the winter months in the north, or in areas where you simply cannot supply

Jeff Propst on Big Whitetails, Bulls, Family and Mossy Oak

Honestly, what I love best about being a Mossy Oak Pro Staffer and a hunter and videographer for “Bow Madness” is having that one-on-one time with my son every fall and spring. I’ve been able to watch him grow as a hunter and an outdoorsman. I’ve been with him on some of his greatest hunts, and he’s been on mine. Chris understands why we hunt and that hunting is a conservation practice; he respects the

Jeff Propst on the 7-Yard Public Land Bull Elk

Although hunting public land can be a pain for some, I enjoy hunting public land for elk, especially in New Mexico, because I like to be in control of the hunt. New Mexico’s elk season spans 10 days on the land that I hunt. Hence, I can go there and hunt all 10 days of the season.

Jeff Propst on Here Comes the Bull Elk

In 2008, my son, Chris, and I were elk hunting in Montana. On the morning of the fifth day of the hunt, we switched gears and began to spot-and-stalk. The afternoon found us sitting over water holes. We’d heard many bugling bulls were around the ranch we were hunting, so we followed the bugles from one bull to the next, trying to get a shot.
