Planting for game birds: A little goes a long way

Early June is a great time of year to think about getting some food planted for turkeys, quail, or other birds you plan to hunt. WhistleBack is a warm season blend of sorghum, three varieties of millets, Egyptian wheat, and sunflowers. This mix is designed to produce massive amounts of seed and at the same time offer cover for many species of upland birds. WhistleBack contains varieties that all grow and mature at different heights

Kent Outdoors Homes Plenty of Deer and Turkeys on Their Properties

Besides waterfowl hunting, we also offer deer hunting at Kent Outdoors. Many guests want to know how we can have duck hunters who like to shoot at the same time deer hunters are at Kent Outdoors who don’t want to hear anything but deer snort or small hooves in the leaves. We have several different guides working with us.

Geese, Blinds and Plenty of Waterfowling Fun at Texas’ Kent Outdoors

I’m often asked about goose hunting, and I believe that goose hunting is more weather-dependent than duck hunting. Sometimes our geese will show up right after Thanksgiving or possibly after Christmas. We do get a few snow geese that come through north Texas. However, generally, they usually come down the flyway further west or further east of us.

J. J. Kent Tires of Deer Hunting and Learns to Hunt Texas Ducks

Years and years ago I was sitting in a deer stand with my dad, and I decided I was tired of deer hunting. I’d taken enough deer to know that I could. I decided to look for a different type of hunting. A couple of days later, some friends of mine invited me to go duck hunting. When I watched my friends blow those duck calls and saw those ducks respond to the calling, change

Year-Round Hunting with J. J. Kent

J. J. Kent has been a Mossy Oak Pro for 6 years and has what many believe to be a hunter’s dream job. “We can hunt for something every day of the year,” Kent explains. “Here at Kent Outdoors, which I believe to be one of the best hunting destinations in north Texas and southern Oklahoma, we hunt waterfowl, deer, turkeys, hogs, doves and sometimes even crows

British Labrador Training Designations

We have three levels of training – started, finished and hunted dogs. A started dog is trained to basic obedience commands – sit, stay, heel and back. A finished dog will get all the training that a started dog is taught, plus, he’ll be able to respond to hand signals and make blind retrieves. A hunted dog will be able to do everything that the started and the finished dogs can do, but a hunted

When the Hunter and the Dog Become One

We have a waiting list of people who want one of the pups we breed here at Mossy Oak’s GameKeeper Kennels. I'm often asked, “How many pups can Mossy Oak produce in a year?” We’re not about production. We don’t breed our females until they’re 2-3 years old. So, we've got a lot of young females that will come into our breeding program in the next several years. Right now, we only have four females

The Demand for British Labs for Hunting

Watching a well-trained hunting dog perform the task he's been trained to do is like poetry in motion. The dog’s breeding and training go on display as the dog does the work he’s meant to do. Perhaps “work” is not the proper term. Maybe watching a dog enjoy the sport he’s trained for is a better way to describe the pleasure that a dog achieves when he does the tasks that are born and trained

Why Raise and Work with British Labrador Retrievers for Hunting Dogs

Since Mossy Oak had experienced and knew British Labs and their fine qualities, and Bill Gibson had experience training British Labs, we felt they were a good breed of dogs with which to start our kennels. British Labs are hunting dogs, they have great dispositions, and they're bred and trained to be hunters’ companions.

The Story Behind GameKeeper Kennels

Mossy Oak wants people to be able to live their best lives outdoors. We believe that one of the best ways to achieve that goal is to have a great field companion. We want to be able to touch people’s lives with high quality dogs. Mossy Oak feels that the relationship between the hunter and the dog is as big a part of being outdoors as hunting is.

Hunting Waterfowl on the Heartland’s River Systems

Hunters are permitted to hunt the river systems here in Missouri. However the rivers will be deep and cold during the winter months. Big chunks of ice will float down the rivers. So when we hunt the rivers, we never go out to hunt without having at least two boats.

Getting Private Land to Waterfowl Hunt

I'm often asked, “How do you get permission to hunt those big agricultural fields in Missouri?” The answer is really simple. I own an excavation company. So, I work with landowners every day. I understand the problems that they have with waterfowl hunters, and I've learned how to solve the problems that cause landowners not to let watermen hunt on their properties.
