Grow and Harvest Trophy Bucks

One of the most-significant hunts I’ve ever had was when Mossy Oak came out with the Treestand pattern. I do a lot of late-season bowhunting here in Iowa’s hardwood forests. One year I was sitting in my tree stand late in November, and our area didn’t have much snow cover. I had a buck walking straight toward my stand from a direction I hadn’t expected. As he came to me, he looked into the tree.

Stalk the Stalks

Whitetails love corn and they need to find a spot where there are left undisturbed. After a farmer makes their last pass through a corn field, man usually doesn't enter the spot again until it's harvested.

The Saga of BOB and the Duke

After five years of intensive management and passing all young bucks, I had developed a history with a couple that sported some respectable “bone.” I’m sure fellow “gamekeepers” can understand the special place I’d developed in my heart over the years for these beautiful animals. What started out for me as a simple goal of having a better quality hunting experience turned into something much different, it wasn’t just the habitat and the local whitetail
