Understanding Government Programs

Government easement programs are designed to take land out of production for a greater purpose. The U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates this process and rewards landowners who choose to participate in easement programs. Two types of easements in particular, the Conservation Reserve Program and the Wetlands Reserve Program, have made a great impact on the protection and preservation of vital land. Instead of using certain land for private profit or use, such as row crop

Brian Hicks Hunts for the Bucks That Most Public Land Hunters Never See

In the fall, before the season begins, usually in September or October, I’ll plant oats, clover, chicory and Mossy Oak BioLogic. Before that, during the spring and fall, I’ll spend a lot of time checking my trail cameras and watching the bucks’ antlers grow. I want to try to stay in contact with the mature bucks I’ve found and the sheds I’ve located after the season.

Brian Hicks on Using Hunting Pressure to Your Advantage on Public Lands

I like to know where everyone on public lands will be hunting each day of deer season. Although I can’t always know where everyone is hunting, I've been able to identify some places where hardly anyone hunts. I also like to know where the other hunters are, so I can hunt safely.

Increase Your Odds for Taking Deer on Private Lands

At this time of the year, I’ll get a soil test on my property, prepare my ground to plant and plant cow peas. I'm very good friends with a wildlife biologist who has more than 50 years experience in managing whitetails in our section of Texas. So, I plant whatever he tells me to plant, and when he tells me to plant it. For a spring and summer crop in our area, my friend recommends

How To Clone Your Favorite Tree

What about that apple tree on the old homeplace down the road from your farm? The tree that, for whatever reason, produces tons of fruit every year despite the fact it’s never fertilized or sprayed. How cool would it be to have five or six of those in the corner of every food plot?

Deer Management Is More Than Planting Green Fields

Once my trail camera pictures start showing me bucks with one antler or bucks with no antlers, I’ll go to the woods looking for sheds. If I'm hunting on my private 200 acres, I’ll search for droppings in my food plots. Also I’ll start hunting winter thermal cover areas on both my private land and U.S. Forest Service land I hunt. On public lands, I’ll check creek drainage areas and places where I find the

The physical land you're looking to buy isn't the only thing you should be inspecting during your first tour of the property.

Lions and Tigers and Bears

You hear it a lot lately, on hunting shows and in magazine articles, “take a kid hunting.” It’s a theme that we as hunters should be proud is getting much needed attention. It’s by no means a new concept but in my opinion, it was put on the shelf for a while during the “big” period.

Chris Phillips Says Hunting Merriam’s Turkeys Can Be Fun

The Merriam’s tom has a different sound to his gobble, and instead of sounding like he's choking, the Merriam’s seem to roll his gobble out. Too, Merriam’s gobblers can be like Rios and come in hard charging. But in the middle of their runs to the call, they may hang up and start to act like eastern gobblers. When they leave the roost, Merriam’s seem to know where they're going every day. They're relatively easy

Chris Phillips Tells Why He Loves to Hunt Rio Grande Gobblers

I love to hunt Rio Grande gobblers. I can call aggressively to them, they gobble a lot, and they come to calling. They’re not nearly as spooky as Mississippi gobblers. When I first started hunting Rio Grande gobblers, I thought I would blow those gobblers out of the woods with loud aggressive calling, but I found just the opposite was true. These birds in the Midwest like to talk a lot. They're much like junior
