Camouflage, and the Best Guns for Hunting Doves

Remember, doves have very-good eyesight. When they spot something unnatural in the place where they feed, travel and/or water, they’ll veer away from that unnatural object. During the early season, I almost always will wear Mossy Oak Obsession, because there is a lot of green in the part of Georgia where I hunt. For early dove season in the South, I don’t believe there is a better pattern than Mossy Oak Obsession.

Where You Place Your Feet and Using the Correct Ammo for Doves

Footwork is an important key to shooting accurately. Often a hunter will be sitting on a dove stool and has to move his body to compensate for the angle that the dove is coming toward him. He will run out of swing and pull his head up off the gun, and the gun will stop. Instead you want to have as much room as possible to swing your gun left or right, depending on the

Booger Holler Opossum Ranch - Yes, Really

My wife Vikki and I looked for our forestland for about 10 years, saving all the while, and finally bought 101-acres of wooded mountain land in central Alabama. Vikki was born and raised in “Booger Holler,” and she’s made great progress. She’s wearing shoes now about half the time, sometimes regular.

The Saga of BOB and the Duke

After five years of intensive management and passing all young bucks, I had developed a history with a couple that sported some respectable “bone.” I’m sure fellow “gamekeepers” can understand the special place I’d developed in my heart over the years for these beautiful animals. What started out for me as a simple goal of having a better quality hunting experience turned into something much different, it wasn’t just the habitat and the local whitetail

ProStaffer Kevin Faver's Best Florida Bow Buck

n Florida, we have what we call a triple rut. All bucks in Florida start rutting in August, and they well be in rut until January. Throughout that whole time, we will see fresh scrapes and rubs. From what I have learned and read, this is because the ratio of bucks to does is so heavily skewed. Because of the number of does, there is no way that a small number of bucks can breed

ProStaffer Kevin Faver’s Biggest Buck

On November 10 a couple of years ago, I was hunting a Kansas creek bottom. On my right was a grassy plateau. Late that afternoon, I watched a 4 point cross the little creek in front of me – only 20-yards from me. I saw him turn and go up to the top of a grassy plateau. When he reached the top, the 4 point stopped and looked hard to my right. As I looked

Fisherman love to fish around structure, particularly structure that is visible such as stumps, blown down trees and grass beds. Aquatic vegetation in the form of grass beds can sometimes go from being the fisherman’s friend by providing cover to harming the fishery by almost completely taking over the lake.

Kevin Faver Deer Hunts to Take Feral Hogs

To try and get the hogs out of the swamps, we used dogs and lead. We tried using traps, but the hogs wised-up to these fairly quickly. One sow can breed twice in one year, and the females in each litter can be bred at 6 months of age. So, before too long, a region can home way-too-many feral hogs. Actually most Florida deer hunters will have much-better opportunities to take feral hogs than they

Florida Deer Hunting, Human Odor, Bugs, Snakes, and Alligators

There is not much Floridians can do to prevent or avoid snakes and alligators where we hunt. I grew up in Florida and have lived there all my life. From an early age, my dad taught me that when I walked in the woods to look down for snakes and alligators. Even when I go to Kansas or Indiana to hunt, I still look at the ground in front of my feet before I take

I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I

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.
