Thistle Eradication

Whatever you do, DON’T just “let the thistles be.” They will go to seed and keep spreading. Besides maintaining their foothold where they are, the wind will carry the seeds and they’ll take up residence wherever there is an open patch of dirt. KILL THEM DEAD!

Tips for Helping Whitetails Feel “Safe” In Your Food Plots

Have you ever had a really nice food plot that the deer just didn’t seem to use that much, especially during the daylight? One really easy way to encourage whitetails to use a food source is making them feel safe. The older age class of both bucks and does can be really shy of big, open fields or food plots that are void of close cover. Here are a few suggestions you can try to

Allen Treadwell’s Best Buck Deer Scored 164

We were hunting in Oklahoma and had talked to some bowhunters who had seen a big buck on the edge of a milo field. They said there was no way they could hunt this good deer with their bows. One of the problems with the word “a good deer” is the person that’s qualifying the size of the deer. “A good deer” by some hunter’s standards may be a buck that scores 110 inches. When

The Double Barrel Loader: Your New Insurance Policy

The hunting industry is growing year after year with more products available for us as hunters. Each year I come across a few products that truly help me be more productive in the field. I call these products “game changers,” because they are unique and designed to help the hunter harvest more animals. The Double Barrel Arrow Loader is one of those “game changers” that I will be using year round on my bow.

Allen Treadwell Tells Us How 30 Days of Preparation Enabled Him to Take the Big 8

While hunting in Kansas, one of the toughest bucks that I ever took was Big 8. I found him in the early season. My outfitter saw Big 8 in a part of the ranch that he never had seen him before. The buck was with a doe during the rut. So, the first thing we did was to put out some trail cameras to try and define Big 8’s home range

Allen Treadwell on How He Became a Professional Hunter and Perhaps You Can Too

I'm often asked, “How does someone become a professional hunter like you?” I can’t speak for other professional hunters. The way I got on with Bass Pro Shops, eventually working with two of their shows, and being on their Pro Staff was through competitive and Olympic shotgun shooting. The second thing someone generally asks me is, “How does competitive shooting relate to being a professional deer hunter?” The answer is quite simple.

Corky and George Richardson - a Man and His Son Are of the Same Mind and Hunting Runs Through It

What I like about hunting with my dad is we are kindred spirits. We can leave camp. I can go one way, and Dad can head in another direction. Usually, within 4 hours of not having seen each other, we’ll be standing or sitting on the same rock, even though we never planned to meet that morning. Whatever I’ve learned from him, and whatever I’ve taught him, we both seem to have the same mind.

Corky Richardson Takes His Biggest Bull Elk with a Bow

On the first morning hunt in Arizona, my wife, Cindi, went with me. Finally, I said, “Cindi, I’d really like to go out on my own, be by myself, find a nice bull, take him with my bow and let the solitude of the mountains renew my soul and my spirit.” Luckily, I have a wife who understands this type of mentality.

"Mr. Elk" Corky Richardson

Where I live in Arizona is home to some of the biggest elk in the world. I'm fascinated about the size of elk, their speed and the keenness of their senses. I also like to call elk. I've always enjoyed calling critters. Elk hunting can be physically demanding, and my style of elk hunting is often run-and-gun. I've been skinny, I've been fat, and I’ve been in good shape. I like to go 100 percent

An Alaskan Bear Hunt with Ashley Jay

About 2-years ago, I went on a black bear hunt in Alaska. My father, who didn’t know much about bears, wasn’t really excited about his young daughter hunting bears in Alaska. He begged me not to go. To be honest, no one in my family was excited about me going on this bear hunt, especially with my bow.

Ashley Jay – A City Girl with a Country Heart

I didn’t grow up in a hunting family or in the country where I would have had a lot of opportunity to hunt. I was born in Miami, Florida, just outside the Everglades. But I always had a passion for the outdoors and being outdoors. So, my parents bought me a horse.
