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.

3 Tips For Tree Planting Success

Tree planting time has been here for everyone in the South, and will be cranking up soon further North. Raising trees is addictive like other gamekeeping activities, but it often seems folks who have never tried it (or tried once and failed) put it off every year and year after that. Food plotting has become main stream and for most is an annual or bi-annual ritual, but tree planting and management “in the woods” still

Learning that Necessity Is the Father of Invention for Duck and Goose Hunters

One of the best goose hunts we've ever had up here happened after we had put all our decoys out. I pulled the trailer that we carry our decoys in back to a spot where I could hide the truck and the decoy trailer. Before I could return to my blind, the other hunters all had filled their limits of geese. As I mentioned, the fellows I hunt with are pretty much all seasoned veterans.

Hunting Ducks and Geese on Sandbars

When we duck hunt the Missouri River, most of the time, we’ll set up on sandbars. Instead of using duck decoys, we’ll put out Canada geese decoys. We use full body as well as floater goose decoys. Occasionally, we will put out a few duck decoys, but the majority of our decoys will be Canada geese.

Waterfowling 101 in the Heartland

I hunt the Missouri River as well as some large lakes, and I have some private ground where we duck hunt. To be honest, our duck hunting is the very best right at the end of the season. We haven’t had a good flight of early ducks here in Missouri for about the last 3 years. Warm weather has held back the migration for us here in the Midwest, just like it has for hunters

Alabama’s Jackson Woodson Goes on a Buck Diet and Doe Feast Plan

Since Alabama deer hunters can harvest 121 deer per season, per hunter, many sportsmen who hunt deer in states that don’t have limits as liberal as Alabama don’t understand why Alabama deer hunters don’t totally decimate the deer herd. But the average deer hunter in Alabama historically only has harvested 1-1/2 deer per season.

Often, the first to mid-December, white-tailed does, and bucks go into what many hunters refer to as the second rut.
