Matt Morrett Explains What Calls to Use to Call in a Wild Turkey Gobbler

In seminars, at shows and whenever I meet the public, I’m often asked, “Matt, why do you take other calls with you when you hunt turkeys? You’ve won the World Turkey Calling Contest five times with a friction call.” Well, I don’t care how well a person calls. Each turkey call makes a little different sound.

The more you know about the average public-land turkey hunter, the better your odds are for bagging a gobbler on public lands.

Why Jon and Farrah Lester Started Never Quit

My wife, Farrah, and I felt we needed to get involved with our community and wanted to give back to the community and the people who have meant so much to us.

Duluth Pack Canvas Dog Bed

Who would have thought this much attention to detail needed to go into a dog bed? Well Duluth Pack did, and it shows in the quality of the beds they make.

7 Tips to Keep Your Food Plot Weed Free

One of the most common problems in food plots, especially perennials, is weed competition. Weeds rob your plot of essential nutrients, water, and root space. Given time and opportunity, weeds will quickly mature, produce seed, and overtake a well intended food plot. The use of herbicides is one of the greatest tools a GameKeeper can utilize to keep weeds under control and get the most out of your plantings. Here are a few tips to
