When the fishing is done and it’s time to clean, what knife do you use? I have used a variety of knives that have worked okay. I recently tried the Mossy Oak Outdoor Edge Fish & Bone knife and was really impressed.

Whitetail Attractants

One of the best ways to capture deer on these handy devices is to develop a few whitetail attractant sites. While pure attractants won’t boost your deer herd’s nutrition like food plots, it’s a fact that whitetails crave them and will return to them regularly.

Pat Reeve and Nicole Jones Bow Hunt for African Cape Buffalo

After hunting water buffalo in Australia, I wanted to hunt cape buffaloes with my bow. More people are killed by Cape buffaloes than any other dangerous-game animal in Africa. On the first day of the hunt, Frikkie explained, “These cape buffaloes move in herds. We have to find a herd, pick out a shootable bull and then get close enough for you to get a bow shot without being seen or smelled.”

Building Project

It doesn’t matter what stage you’re at in your hunting career, given the right conditions and the heat of the moment everyone of us can be susceptible to “buck fever.” Even those who have reached the stage where the pursuit is more about giving back and bringing newcomers into hunting than doing for ourselves, have to deal with fighting off yips and jitters in our mentees that may cause them to miss their first deer.

Not Your Average Turkey Hunting Show

More than simply another outdoor television show, the Turkey and Deer THUGS series is a salute and a helping hand to the soldiers who have been wounded while working tirelessly to keep our nation free. A portion of the licensing dollars generated by Deer and Turkey THUG merchandise goes to the Outdoor Recreation Heritage Fund, which helps our heroes get back to the outdoors and return to the traditions their sacrifices help to protect.

Nicole Jones’ Water Buffalo Bull

“We’ve got to get in the river and stalk up the river to where we’ve seen the bull.” Just before we got in the water, we saw a killer crocodile. The water was up to our waists. We waded about 100 yards, and George peeked over the bank to see where the bull was. He told us to stay in the water, so he could crawl up the bank and look for the bull. Before

Enhance Your Food Plots

Land managers across the country rely on food plots to attract and hold animals on their properties. In addition, they want these food plots to provide valuable nutrition for the wildlife that utilizes them. Boost your plots wildlife appeal and nutritional value by planting a few mast producing trees in or on the edge of your plots.

Pat Reeve and Nicole Jones on Their Australian Water Buffalo Hunt

On the third day, we were still searching for this big bull that George wanted Nicole to take. The bull’s nickname was “Houdini,” because he vanished every time we got close to him. We’d already spent 3 days of our 7-day hunt without getting a shot.

Lions and Tahrs and Buffalo, Oh My!

We finally spotted a tahr that the guide suggested we take. To get to the tahr, we had to make a long hard climb up a big ridge. I took off my pack and laid it on the ground. I found the tahr in my Nikon scope and squeezed the trigger, but the tahr didn’t go down.
