Mike Miller Says Nebraska Offers Some Big Water Boat Blind Hunting

Most of our duck hunting is in Nebraska, because Nebraska is in the duck’s flyway. There's a lot of food there for ducks, and fewer waterfowl hunters in Nebraska than in Colorado. We also have a lot of big-water hunting in Nebraska and use some big-water boats we've converted into duck-hunting boats.

Mike Miller Tells about Doubling Down on Ducks and Geese

Ducks usually come down the river first, which means we often can get our limit of ducks before the geese start flying. Then, we take our limit of geese. We’ve usually shot numbers of shotgun shells, had a lot of fun and taken good numbers of geese and ducks for a morning hunt. Although we do most of our duck hunting in Nebraska, there's some outstanding duck and goose hunting also available in Colorado.

Mike Miller Remembers His Favorite Goose Hunts

I hunt ducks, geese, elk, mule deer and just about any other critter you can hunt, but I believe the Canada goose is one of my favorites to hunt. There are a group of us who hunt and scout together. We have permission to hunt some private land fields, and we've also leased some fields to hunt geese. All the people I hunt geese with start looking for geese right before the season arrives. Then

Old School Waterfowl Basics: Part Two

There is every imaginable motion decoy you can think of. These all play a part in our success, but nothing has brought more attention to waterfowl than the advancement in decoys. Ten years ago you could get away with buying the cheapest decoys you could afford and still compete with other hunters. Today that is not the case. Just as in everything else, technology and the means to produce more life-like decoys has changed the

8 Great Duck Calling Tips

The best calling teachers are ducks themselves. Visit a refuge or even a local park, find some ducks, and listen to them. Mallards are easiest to find, and most obliging to call. Widgeon are very vocal, too. Be sure to bring your pet calls, and work with the birds, making the same sounds they do.

Hunting Prairie Dogs at 400 Yards and Whitetails at over 200 Yards with a Handgun

I really enjoy hunting with a pistol and have taken a good number of whitetails with it, as well as bears, elk and mule deer. I've also taken small game with my pistol, including prairie dogs. One of my longest handgun shots I ever made was with a Savage Striker pistol. I took a prairie dog at 400 yards with a .22-250, using Hornady ammunition. My longest big-game shot with a handgun was a whitetail

Jim Shockey Says He’s Never Road Weary and Has Plenty of Animals He Loves to Hunt

I've been very fortunate to have a large number of generous people who have offered me the opportunity to hunt with them on their properties and hunt for all types of game. I can’t possibly go on every hunt that I have the opportunity to go on in four lifetimes. Now, the hunts I do go on are hunts in places and for animals that I feel are really special.

Jim Shockey Explains Why He’s Joined the Mossy Oak Family

The main reason I didn’t wear camo was because I couldn’t find any camouflage clothing manufacturer that produced the type of clothing I needed and wanted to wear on my adventures. But when Mossy Oak and I got together, there was some real technological advances being made in camo clothing. Many of those high-tech camouflage clothes were being made by Under Armour. I saw the quality of adventure hunting clothes, and the technology of high-tech

Hunting is Better Now Than Ever Before

One thing that has helped me to have more consistency in my dove hunts I learned from Toxey Haas, the founder of Mossy Oak’s Dad - Mr. Fox. He taught me that most people don’t start planting agriculture for doves very long before dove season arrives. Most people who prepare a dove field will just go out and disc the ground, throw out some wheat and then cover it up. But Mr. Fox begins planting

Patrick Flanigan - A Professional Exhibition Shooter by Trade and a Passionate Hunter

I try to schedule my shows, so that I have the most free time during waterfowl season and upland bird season, because I have a real passion for wing shooting. Wing shooting is the way I’ve grown up, the way I’ve learned to shoot, and it reconnects me with my family and my heritage. Although my passion is hunting anything that flies, I also enjoy deer hunting. As well as loving wing shooting, I'm a
