David Welch Is Eyeball to Eyeball with a Big Bull Elk

I knew I couldn’t get another arrow on the string and draw without him seeing me, so we had a staring contest at about 40 yards. After the bull had looked at me for a long time, he just turned around and walked off. I don’t know what he would have scored. When I get in close to a bull, I try not to look at the antlers after I decide he’s a bull that

David Welch Is Face to Face with a Blacktail Deer

I was hunting blacktail deer in the wilderness area of California on the side of a steep ridge where the deer were holding. This ridge had no cover but manzanita bushes, granite rock and oak brush no higher than my knees. On this day, I was wearing Mossy Oak Bottomland camo and working my way to another area early in the morning, hoping to find a buck. I was going up over a little rise

The Water Buck: Cuz Makes a Promise to Toxey

Japanese Honeysuckle- Embrace it, Eradicate it, or Deal With it?

The seeds are utilized by several birds including mockingbirds, wild turkey, and quail, but because of its variability in fruiting, the seeds normally only make up a minor component. Due to its vigorous growth when exposed to sunlight, and its clumping nature in

Learn to Nest and Where to Place Your Treestand with Terry Drury

Birds build nests in trees and bushes, and these nests are supported by branches and limbs and are almost invisible to predators. This is the same strategy I use when I am bowhunting in the early season. I like to have limbs and bushes especially under my treestand that hide my body up to my knees or waist. This way, there is only half as much of me for the deer to see, than there
