Neill Haas’s Biggest Oops as a Field Producer

I think being a field producer requires the most organizational skills of any job at Mossy Oak. I’ve learned the best way I can keep organized is to make a checklist. I check off every piece of equipment I will need, and then know I have it, either the night before the hunt or in the morning before we leave camp.

Tip #5 – Woodsmanship Is the Key to Successfully Hunting Turkeys

A good woodsman often will take more turkeys than a good turkey caller. If you learn where the gobblers are, where they like to feed, where they like to strut, where they like to get water, and where they go when they sense danger in the woods, then you can hunt and take gobblers without a call.

Tip #4 – When Hunting Turkeys Don’t Leave Home without Pruners, Saws and Cushions

What you take into turkey grounds with you often determines what you bring out of the turkey woods. Turkey hunting is unlike most other forms of hunting, especially in the East. You may know the area of the woods you’re going to hunt, but most of the time you don’t know where you’ll have to set-up to get a turkey. Being prepared to set-up anywhere at anytime is a critical ingredient to being able to

"That eagle swooped down and took ‘em both in her talons. We were going to shoot the 'yote but the eagle said she had kids to feed, and let’s be honest; it’d be unpatriotic to take food away from baby eagles," he said.

Tip #3 – Go High for Gobblers

Hunting from an elevated tree stand is another tactic I’ll use. A full-grown turkey gobbler isn’t worried about hawks or owls that hunt in the sky trying to kill it. So, turkeys rarely will look-up. If you plan to use a tree stand or hunt from an elevated platform, make sure it’s legal in the state you hunt. Some states don’t permit hunters to hunt from elevated platforms, while other states do. Check your local

Tip #2 – Don’t Move When You’re Hunting Turkeys

Many hunters don’t realize how still you have to be when you’re turkey hunting. Most hunters don’t consider where the turkey’s eyes are located on his head. A turkey’s eyes are on the side of his head – not on the front of his head like our eyes. We can see straight ahead, but we don’t have very-good peripheral vision. A turkey has 180-degree eyesight in each of his eyes and can spot the slightest

How Mark Owen Took His Ohio Bow Buck That Scored 256

I believe this buck had lived his entire life in that 90-acre woodlot between the two fields, because no one else in the county ever had seen this deer. All the property around this spot was corn fields and bean fields. So, these deer that I was seeing on the trail camera really didn’t have any close-by cover where they could hide in – other than this woodlot. The buck had everything he needed –

Big Bucks Avoid People in Summer Too: Low-Impact Scouting Tips

Heath Wood The summer months present a prime opportunity for scouting whitetails. Bucks are in velvet, rapidly developing their antlers, and often follow consistent feeding routines.
