Tips For Applying Grass Specific Herbicides

As winter winds down, some areas across the nation may have already started to see a few warm season weeds emerging. This is a sign that it may be time to start spraying your plots. This includes spraying perennial fields containing clovers, alfalfas, chicory and the like for grasses, as well as using non-selective herbicides for preparing fields for warm season annuals. Herbicide applications on weeds are much more effective when the target weeds are

Try a Variety of Friction Calls for Calling Turkeys

There are differences in all the various types of turkey calls. For instance, a diaphragm call doesn’t resonate as well at a distance as a friction call does. At a distance, in my opinion, a friction call gives the most realistic turkey call of any of the types of turkey calls that we use today. I really like the versatility of a friction call, especially a pot-type friction call. You can make the softest clucks,

Bass Fisherman Brandon Palaniuk Sacrifices for His Dream

Although my parents were supportive of my dream to become a professional bass fisherman, my mom was very insistent that I have a Plan B, just in case bass fishing didn’t work out. I guess I was young and naïve and didn’t realize how difficult it would be to make the Bassmaster Elite Circuit. I just knew that was my goal. Finally I told my mom, “Why do I need a Plan B, if I’m

Indian Butter Wild Turkey Recipe

Some hunters find wild turkey challenging to cook. It is lean and can dry out quickly. Cut your cooking time compared to domestic fowl to prevent it from drying out, especially breast meat. Using sauce and marinade will also help keep the meat moist and tender. This is a classic Indian dish usually found as Butter Chicken. It is rich in flavor, and although there are lots of ingredients, the outcome is worth the effort.

Rio Grande Turkeys in California

I believe the Rios out here are easier to take than eastern gobblers are on the other side of the country. Rios don’t have as much hunting pressure, haven’t been hunted as long as easterns have and aren’t as likely to embarrass you as the birds back east may. Rios put on a good show, and you can watch them walk up almost to the end of your gun barrel. If you’ve been hunting some

Preseason Turkey Tactics

As hunters, we strive to have fun and be successful while in the field. To some that may be as simple as being in God’s Great Outdoors and having fun doing what they love. To others it is more about outsmarting an animal and beating it at its own game by knowing what move they are going to make next. Webster’s Dictionary defines success as a favorable or desired outcome. Over the years, I have

Hunting Merriam’s Turkeys in Wyoming

The male Merriam’s turkey is one of the prettiest turkeys we hunt with white feathers on his back and white tips on his tail feathers. These characteristics make the Merriam’s relatively easy to spot from a long way off. Calling the Merriam’s turkey is no different than calling any of the other species of wild turkeys. But the terrain where we hunt Merriam’s is much different than where we hunt turkeys in the East. In

Ott DeFoe Keeps Bass Fishing Simple

I think another reason I've been successful is that I attempt to keep bass fishing simple. I try not to think about tomorrow until tomorrow gets here. I don’t think about yesterday, because that day already has passed, and I can’t do anything about it. When I'm fishing, I only think about the next bass I'm hoping to catch. After I catch that bass and put it in the boat, I generally don’t think about

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.
