Jack Lester’s Cedar Tree Bow Longbeard Turkey with Mossy Oak’s Mike Cockerham

A friend of mine who also is a Mossy Oak Pro Staffer, Jack Lester, always had wanted to shoot a turkey with a bow. I agreed to call to give him the opportunity. We got to a field where he’d been seeing turkeys and picked a spot close to the edge of the field where there were some cedar trees. Instead of using a blind, we cut off some limbs on the cedar tree, so

A Real Mossy Oak Moment

I dared not blink while the poacher scanned the ridge for the source of the turkey sounds he had undoubtedly heard coming from my slate moments earlier. The scope on top of the 22 magnum looked ominous through the lens of my video camera, which was zoomed to 14 power.

Will Primos and His Partnership with Mossy Oak

We sat down in my restaurant between lunch and dinner, and I helped teach Bill Sugg how to improve his calling for a few hours. I learned as much from Bill as he learned from me. A few years later, Bill called me and said, “I’m going into the camouflage business with my friend Toxey Haas, and I want to come talk to you about it."

Outdoorsman Hank Parker Has Learned That Camouflage Includes Sitting Still and Being Quiet

Being still in the woods is one element we fail to emphasize enough I think when we talk about how to prevent animals from seeing us. Regardless of the camo pattern you wear, if you’re moving around when the game is looking at you, that game will spook. So, when we talk about camouflage, let’s always remember that being motionless in the woods is an absolute necessity.
