If you’re like me, your still out in the deer woods. All the pre-season scouting, stand placements, food plots planted, shooting lanes cut and dreams of tagging that 170” buck you had on trail-cams have faded. Not gone away but faded. Well…lucky for all of us it’s time for the Pre-Rut Bucks to kick in! […]
I have been very fortunate over the years to have met some of the greatest hunters our sport will ever know, and I have had the opportunity to talk with many of them and ask one basic question; “what is the biggest reason people miss, or more importantly why do people hit deer and never […]
For many or most deer hunters- the season is over. Seems like it was just yesterday when we were anticipating that first sit of the year, and now it’s over. This is the perfect time of year to do an inventory of all your hunting products. While the season is still fresh in your mind […]
This time of year is magical to witness. The mystical change of leaves from green to autumn orange, yellow and rusts, soybeans standing at attention in rows looking more like sticks than any type of nutrition. Let’s not forget the ever present corn in the heartland. These endless acres of habitat have the ability to […]
If your anything like me (or any of the other millions of archery hunters in the hunting world), which if you’re reading this I can guess you are. You’re not just ready for deer season- you’re having trouble thinking of anything else. We all know it might not say it on a calendar, but it’s […]
I was recently working a Mossy Oak partnership retail promotion at Bass Pro shops helping hunters of all skill levels and ages get ready for turkey season. I can’t tell you how many times I was asked “how do I decide when to call or what call to use?” my answer is always the same-time […]
I’ve been on many hunts across the country from the palmetto flats in south Florida to the Black hills of South Dakota, from Texas brush country to the hills of Tennessee and the one thing I can tell you for sure is that turkeys have the best eye sight of any big game animal….period!!! To […]
Enough-maybe… I was recently involved in a deep conversation with my son, you know the important things like how many hours can one teenager spend playing PS3 or Xbox, and when was the last time he actually read a book or tried to learn something that would increase his knowledge- of well… anything? All while […]
In the previous submission we talked about spending some time in the timber now, the dead of winter. In my opinion the best time to prep for next fall’s hunting season. With a clear and well thought out plan, a piece of timber you have hunted with marginal or limited success in the past may […]
Like every man I have a pretty stern opinion of what happens on or near my favorite hunting spots. So now that the season is over its time to make some changes. This is the perfect time of year to get into the timber and “prep” the area. That’s right, prep it! Get things […]
The time has come to get something to eat! No I’m not talking about going to the McDonalds for a value meal, I’m talking about finding a food plot and pulling up a chair for the late season. In my opinion the late season is the best time of the entire year to harvest a […]
I was happy to get the call from my good friend and fellow Mossy Oak pro-staffer, and oh yeah founder of Victory Outdoors Curt Goettsch, However, The offer to do a fall turkey hunt in the middle of November in Iowa is more than just a little hard to comprehend. As a matter of fact […]
It’s November, the rut is ON! Every hunter in the woods is chasing deer. Unless of course you have the fortune of already wrapping your tag around the antler of a mature buck; so now what do you do? Turkey hunting is a rich tradition in the fall hunting woods, and in many states it’s […]
I was introduced to deer hunting through family and close friends just as most all of us are. Some of my greatest memories as a young hunter still keep me going into the deer woods at the start of each season some 30 years later. I remember those crisp November mornings making the long hike […]
