“Jelly Balls”: What Are Those Things in My Pond?

Although we do not see these strange looking “jelly balls” in every pond, they are more commonly found than many pond owners realize.

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

Tips on How to Bring Down a Gobbler

Patience is a virtue. Extremely annoying, yes, but the wild turkey is survival-based, and if rushed, will end up doing exactly what the hunter does not want them to do. If the turkey is gobbling, he’s extremely interested and will take his time. Being overly aggressive will turn the almost triumph into a bad turkey day.

Ponds Are Perfect for Family Fun and Educational Opportunities

The pond can be the perfect outdoor classroom to teach the mechanics of fishing…tying a knot, baiting a hook, adjusting a float, casting a lure, removing a fish from the hook, or even preparing the fish for an evening meal. There are countless lessons to be taught and carried with our youth throughout their lifetimes.

Extreme high mountain hunting is where you can see game rich alpine meadows, hidden basins, waterfalls, clear snow-melt rivers, and towering crags.

Planting Success Begins with the Soil

A soil test is the first and foremost step before ever being able to plan out a food plot schematic that is best for your property. Every plant has a different set of ideal conditions, so the type of soil, pH of the soil, and soil nutrients will all have a significant impact on which plants can grow the heartiest when it comes to the location they’re being planted in.

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.
