Flora Six Feet High

A whitetail’s world exists from six feet high and down to the ground. Quite frankly, unless a canopy tree is producing a mast crop of some kind it’s really not doing the whitetails any good at all. It’s difficult to convince some land owners to cut mature trees, but specifically relating to whitetail habitat, where ever you can allow the sunlight to hit the soil you will increase the stem density. That means more food

Matt Morrett: Why I Plant Mossy Oak Food Plots for Late Season Buck Deer

Last year, after turkey season, we had some really-bad weather in my home state of Pennsylvania. I didn’t have the opportunity to plant any Mossy Oak BioLogic. This year, you can bet your last dollar I’ll be planting some of Mossy Oak’s BioLogic Winter Bulbs and Sugar Beets to better take advantage of Pennsylvania’s late-season bow-only deer season. Two of my best friends are Mark and Terry Drury. I met Mark in 1986, when we

I can’t begin to remember how many turkey hunts I’ve been a part of but it would surely have to be in the thousands. I have been blessed to call most of them “work related” which means I had no other thing to do for the whole day other than turkey hunt. Granted most of them have been while lugging a heavy camera and guiding another hunters but over the years that has become my

Mossy Oak’s Matt Morrett: Cool Down to Stay Warm for Late Season Deer Hunting

From this hunt, I learned that I will definitely plant the BioLogic Winter Bulbs and Sugar Beets product that contains turnips on my own properties, because I saw the deer coming to those turnips and digging down through the snow to get to them and eat them.

Food For Thought

At 6’1 and 250 pounds I’m certainly not one to say what’s good for you and what’s not but I can promise you that many if not most of my fondest memories are centered around food. Camp food, wild game, cooking over an open fire, MRE’s on a mountain top in Colorado, vienna sausage and crackers with Dad and brother Al in the Homochitto National forest, my wife’s cheese grits served with fried turkey breast,

Mossy Oak’s Matt Morrett Explains Why a Ground Blind Is Best For Hunting Late Season Bucks

I prefer to hunt from ground blinds at the end of the season. Today the temperature is 18 degrees in Pennsylvania, and when the weather is this cold, sitting really still is difficult. If you’re sitting in a tree stand, and the wind is blowing, even if you have-on warm clothing, you’ll fidget or shiver a little. But if you use a ground blind, the deer can’t see that movement. Too, a ground blind breaks

Will's 2011 Tips for Bowhunting Whitetails

When I was just a little fellow, I liked to slip-up on squirrels and birds and shoot at them with my bow,” Will Primos remembers. “My first bow was a Wilson longbow, and I sometimes built my own arrows. I shot that bow off the side of my hand, because there were no rests in those days. Here are a few tips that will help you become a better bowhunter.

Big Bang, Little Bite

I often think that little boys just have a gene that makes them want to participate in every aspect of the hunt and the outdoors….its like a badge of honor…or more accurately a rite of passage that they begin claiming one hunt at a time. Girls are a little different.

Needle in a Haystack

Here he comes — flaunting a set of antlers so big it looks like a rocking chair atop his head. Your legs shake and your heart is pounding so hard you wonder if he can hear it. You can’t look at the antlers because that just makes the nervous excitement worse. Your dream buck is closing the distance fast! He's about to cross one of your shooting windows — antlers, head, neck, shoulder … pick
