It is hard to imagine that deer hunting seasons are not that far off. Those passionate white-tailed pursuers among us are already having our thoughts turn toward the fall months to again catch a glimpse of deer slipping through the woods. […]
If you love your all-terrain vehicle or UTV and don’t really feel inspired to walk the mile or five to the hunting areas on your property, then I highly recommend you show your main ride some love, care and maintenance. […]
Some of the best fishing might be in our own neighborhoods. As I drive around the state, I am reminded of just how many lakes and ponds there are nearly around every corner. I know that some of these lakes are good fisheries that are in many cases greatly under-fished. […]
Micro fishery habitats can produce some mighty good fishing. Seasoned crappie anglers know what I mean. They typically return to the same “honey holes” every year, making a sound bet they are going to produce again and again year after year. […]
Deer camps argue every year about the relative merits of planting springtime, warm-season wildlife food plots. I can argue either side of the coin, but the final decision ought to be based on the current status of residing deer and expense considerations. […]
The mere mention of trying to go after a wild turkey on public land scares off most turkey hunters, even the veterans. […]

While slipping into your favorite hunting stand, playing the wind just right, sun at your back, sprayed down with scent killer, walking quietly in rubber boots, you slowly creep around the corner and BAM, there stands a huge buck right in the middle of the food plot blocking your access to the stand.
And he’s looking right at you.
What do you do now? […]
It happens every season about this time of year: Deer hunters are approaching the annual December two-week primitive weapons season wondering what hunting tool to take to the woods. […]
Say what? Am I suggesting that big-buck hunters can actually score their harvest potential bucks before they even start to hunt the deer hoping for a clean shot? […]
This article is a precursor to the assumption of a successful deer-hunting season that is soon to commence. Bow hunting is just around the corner, and undoubtedly many adept deer hunters will be bringing in a doe or buck right off the bat. […]
