Nicole Jones and Her African Lion Hunt

When I put my hands on my lion, I almost went limp. I was emotionally and physically drained. As we stalked the lion, my adrenaline really amped-up. When I drew and took the shot, I had to override that adrenaline and make sure I went through my shot sequence correctly. Then when the lion jumped and ran away, all that adrenaline was reloaded.

Pat and Nicole Reeve Hunt Big Game

I have to admit I had an adrenaline rush when we approached the bear, and I noticed his huge claws that could have ripped me apart. The guide estimated that the bear weighed about 1,300 pounds. The bear’s hide squared just-over 9 feet, his skull scored 29 inches, and he made the Boone & Crockett record book.

We do quite a bit of predator hunting on our ranches, especially during the off-season. We’ve got tons of mountain lions, but we’re prohibited from hunting them.

It is true that in some areas wild turkey numbers are either stable or increasing, but it’s also true that some local-level populations are in a decline. These are the statistics that have everyone from the biologist to the land steward to the hunter concerned.

The Gobbler That Charged and Flogged a Coyote

I heard a ruckus close to Jeff that I couldn’t figure out. I heard the turkey putting as he went past me. I couldn’t stand not being able to see what was happening, so I peeped over the creek bank. I couldn’t believe what I saw. This big gobbler was charging and flogging a coyote. In all my years of turkey hunting, I never had seen anything like this.

So if I had to draw up a paint-by-number turkey hunting place, what would it be? I would prefer a place with a 70-20-10 blend of timber, thickets/nesting areas, and fields/wildlife openings. Of the timber stands, I would have a moderate dose of old growth, bottomland hardwoods mixed in with massive pines with the majority being in various aged pine plantations.

Killing all the coyotes you possibly could will without doubt help fawn recruitment, but try as you might, there will still be coyotes around. The argument has been made that you need a few to keep the other small predators in check, and there is some good research that supports this claim. However, no one likes the idea of coyotes managing their deer herd for them.

Bear of a Lifetime

I went to Colorado for a month to hunt and had a bear tag, an elk tag and a mule deer tag. A bear tag is mainly a tag of opportunity in Colorado. You can’t bait and can’t use dogs there, but if you buy the tag and get a bear within range, you can take him. Or, you can spot and stalk a bear. I always had wanted to take a bear, so I

Gain Control Over Predators

If you’re managing a property for a game species, predator control is extremely important – they’re your competition. Controlling the amount of coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, skunks and other varmints is typically done by hunting or trapping. During the winter can be the best time for both, hunting or trapping simply because their food is scarcer now than at other times, especially in the north where a blanket of snow covers most food sources. That means
