Hunting Rio Grande turkeys out here in California is more difficult than Eastern hunters think, mainly because you have to scout so much more to take them. Our gobblers stay henned-up throughout much of the turkey season and move in large flocks.

Productive Poult Protection

Enhancing brood habitat for ground-nesting birds by creating “brood strips” to enhance native plant growth can improve food availability for wild turkey poults and bobwhite quail chicks, and increase survival during the critical first few weeks of life.

On our “opening hunt” in September, bird-limits were common among participants. Here are some ideas for your next dove field.

Hog Trapping: Both an Art and a Skill

What some call skill, others call an art form. Because of the fact that wild hogs are adaptable to almost any climate and can live a day’s walk away from a water source, the odds of the wild hog winning the battle are high.

What Happened to My Beans?

Over browsed young plants is probably the biggest problem encountered when planting food plots during the spring and summer. Peas, soybeans, lablab, and other warm season legumes are highly attractive to deer and are often over browsed soon after germination. This usually occurs when there are a few too many mouths to feed or there is not enough acreage devoted to plots. When plants this young get bitten off at ground level it usually kills
