How Much Land Do You Need for Taking Predators

Coyotes aren’t on small parcels of land every day and every night. Try to determine where the coyotes are, and what night they’re on the property, so you can hunt them the next day and have a reasonable chance of taking them.

Predator, Mossy Oak

Set Up Right to Take More Predators

When you start calling predators, especially in the East, you’ll see numbers of coons, gray foxes and red foxes. These predators feed on turkey eggs, quail eggs and ground-nesting game animals. If you remove a good number of these animals every year as well as coyotes, you can increase the numbers of turkeys, quail, song birds and upland birds on your property. Every now and then, you’ll get a bobcat.

The Best of Both Worlds

As the bucks are transitioning into their favorite time of the year, I would bet that you are wondering if the choices you have made for their primary food sources were correct. You are not alone when having doubts as every GameKeeper sometimes second-guesses their yearly game plan. Hopefully we can help define what we feel is a very important part of that plan and help make a great choice for that perfect fall attractant

Predator Control for Game Management

By harvesting coyotes, foxes, bobcats, raccoons and possums, you can have more deer, turkeys, quail, pheasants, squirrels and rabbits. We all know the advantage of planting supplemental food plots, fruit trees, nut trees and shrubs for wildlife. We also selectively harvest our deer herds and provide minerals for deer and turkey. But one important component of managing your lands for more wildlife is reducing the number of predators on the properties.

Two of ProStaffer Bucky Hauser’s Strangest Deer Hunts

I was in my stand, being quiet and sitting still when a power-company truck came in and started cutting and clearing the right-of-way on the property. They could see me in my tree stand less than 100-yards away from their chain saws and bush hoggers. They really thought it was funny that I was trying to hunt while they were cutting the right-of-way. When they finally finished and were leaving, they honked their horn, waved

Midland XTC Action Camera

Hunting Bear Bare with ProStaffer Bucky Hauser

In Virginia, our black bear season is at the same time as our deer season. We have a split bear season like our split archery season. I was hunting early archery deer season during October when the corn just had been cut. I set-up a ground blind right on the edge of a corn field and the front edge of my blind was on the front edge of the field. I had the wind in

Bucky Hauser Says to Get Off the Couch and Go Hunting Buck Deer

The day I decided to take off was the first day of the second archery season. My wife, Kelly, came in and saw me on the couch. She said, “Hey, Bucky, you need to get up and go hunting.” I didn’t really want to go, but she just kept insisting. This 120-inch 8-point buck only went about 125 yards. My wife was right in getting me up and sending me out to hunt.

It’s you against them and they have all the advantages. They can swim faster, dive deeper, build bigger and eat more in a day than you can imagine. Cormorants, otters and beavers can quickly change a thriving pond into a vast water wasteland. What do cormorants and other fish-eating birds like great blue herons have in common with otter and beaver? If you have a pond or lake on your property you may already know.

Maturing as a Deer Hunter

Mossy Oak ProStaffer Bucky Hauser lives in Claudville, Virginia. During the early years of his hunting career, he was a multi-state hunter and often hunted 4 days per week or more from October until deer season ended. He hunted on two farms in Virginia and also Canada, taking many fine bucks and enjoying great outdoor adventures. Bucky lived the hunter’s life we all dream of, but after he turned 40, his hunting focus changed drastically.

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
