Brent Lafreniere’s Vermont Moose with a Bow

In Vermont has a lottery for moose tags. The person who draws the tag is the shooter, he can invite a second shooter to go with him, and they can pick a third person to be their guide. The guide doesn’t necessarily have to be a paid guide. I’ve been fortunate enough to go on four moose hunts either as a guide or as a shooter. Three of those hunts were unsuccessful, but I was

Understanding Brent Lafreniere’s Technique for Hunting Public Lands

I first started traveling to other states to hunt when I was in high school. My dad used to go to Pennsylvania with some friends of his to hunt Pennsylvania’s early bow season. A few years after he started going to Pennsylvania, he’d get me out of school on Thursday, we’d drive to Pennsylvania and bowhunt the rest of Thursday, Friday and Saturday. At that time, Pennsylvania’s early bow season would start when Vermont’s season

Bucky Hauser’s 2015 Big Buck’s Moment Of Truth

Bucky Hauser Explains Trophy Deer Hunting

Bucky Hauser from Claudville, Virginia, has been a Mossy Oak Pro Staffer for 9 years but has been wearing Mossy Oak, since the company began in 1986. “My favorite pattern is Mossy Oak Treestand. I like it because it’s an open pattern. When deer season starts in our area, all the leaves are off the trees, and I primarily bowhunt.”

Taking a 191-Inch Buck with Tommy Nails

I get just as much enjoyment from checking trail cameras and doing trail-camera surveys as I do hunting deer. I didn’t get this particular farm to hunt where I took a huge 191-inch buck until September, 2011. As soon as I got the farm, I put out trail cameras. I placed a lock-on stand and a trail camera close to a scrape on this new property. I didn’t go back to this stand or the
