David Hale on Hot Weather Deer Hunting

70-year-old David Hale and 72-year-old Harold Knight formed Knight & Hale Game Calls in 1972. Before then they helped release some of the first wild turkeys reintroduced to the state of Kentucky.

Ryan Koelsch and the Velvet Antlered Kansas Buck

The latest I’ve ever taken a buck was on November 3rd one year. Since I sell real estate during October and November, I have a lot of hunters coming into my Mossy Oak Properties’ real-estate office, looking for hunting land to purchase.

Establishing Mineral Sites

This is one of my favorite times of the year. The anticipation of what might show up this year as the antlers begin to develop is always super high. I have even found myself in the past few years putting out Bio Rocks in urban landscapes and backyard woodlots just to see what deer frequent the area even though I have no intention of hunting there. Creating new mineral sites can be especially exciting when
