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

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.

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

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.

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
