Get Ahead of the Game

By this time of the year, most everyone’s hunting season is over or starting to wind down and not many guys are thinking about growing plots or feeding their deer. With some cold and nasty weather still possible for the next few weeks, it’s a great time to sit down and start planning for the upcoming growing season. There may be some things you thought of while sitting in your deer stand this fall that

Chris Kirby Tells Where to Hunt For Mature Bucks During the Late Season

In the late season, I believe your ability to take older-age-class bucks totally depends on planting the right crops during the late spring and early fall in designated food plots. When you're planting food plots, most people think about planting crops that they can hunt over in the early season. They rarely consider planting late season food plots. But here’s why you should consider planting last season food plots.

How To Hunt the Late Season

Chris Kirby has been wearing Mossy Oak most of his life and is the president of Quaker Boy Calls. Through partnering with Mossy Oak, he produces the Deer Thugs line of deer calls. Although Kirby lives in Orchard Park, New York, he hunts all over the country and helps manage several small farms in his area - some as small as 25 acres and others as large as 200 acres. Kirby says, “You definitely can

When a Big Buck Is Close, Watch His Eyes

The buck was returning from feeding and was going to his bed. Before this buck came out of that field where he could see the entire field, he studied the timber with his eyes and into the timber where his vision would be limited. We were 20 yards inside the timber. This buck was very cautious. He looked right up in the tree at me and my cameraman two or three different times. I whispered

Joe Shults Harvested a 206-5/8 Buck Wearing Mossy Oak

Mossy Oak camouflage helped me take the biggest deer I'd ever taken. I was hunting in Breckinridge County, Kentucky, during the second rut. A standing soybean field was on one side of a small strip of woods 50-yards wide, and on the other side of the woods was a thick cover bedding area. We thought that the soybean field was probably the only food source still available for the deer during the late season. We

How and When Camouflage Helps

On October 1, 1993, I decided to open my sporting-goods store, Joe’s Sporting Goods. I sold Mossy Oak exclusively in my store, because the other brands of camo I had purchased weren’t selling. Today I still have the only sporting-goods store that sells hunting equipment in my town.

Reasons To Feed Late Season Whitetails

Hunters more than anybody realize how tough the late winter can be for whitetails. Deer in the upper Midwest, northern states, and Canada, can have massive amounts of snowfall to try and navigate through and are often forced to exert a lot of energy to find whatever food is available. Reliable food sources are few and far between and many deer consume a lot of low quality, hard to digest, woody brush in the late

Why I Leave Home To Hunt Whitetails

Today, I've hunted every province in Canada except British Columbia. I also hunt Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota and Colorado. I've taken elk, mule deer, whitetails, black bears and more wild hogs than I can count. I think about the only big game animal in North America that I haven’t hunted is the Shiras moose.

Joe Shults Discovers Mossy Oak and Drury Outdoors

Fifty-one year old Joe Shults of Newport, Tennessee, is a member of both the PSE and Mossy Oak Pro Staffs and a member of the Drury Outdoors “Dream Season: The Journey” TV show. When Shults was out of work due to a factory closing, he hunted and fished often. He realized there wasn’t a sporting-goods store for miles from his home, so he opened one. Shults explains, “I've been wearing Mossy Oak since 1990.”

How Mike Miller Hides from Ducks

We have our boats painted and stenciled with the Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades pattern. When we put that natural vegetation on the blinds and push our boats up against the bank, the blinds look like maybe a pile of logs have gotten pushed-up against the bank that dirt has filled in between the logs. We even paint the seats that the hunters sit on with the Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blade design. We’re able

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.

Food Plots and Feeders

Insufficient nutrition levels can lead to weight loss, poor conception rates, lower fawn recruitment, and increased vulnerability to disease…and where it counts too many gamekeepers - poor antler development and increased mortality rates. In areas where it is legal, it is wise to supplement your herd’s diet with a quality protein feed.
