Best Time to Feed a Hunting Dog

When it comes to hunting dogs, it’s important to make sure they are fed the night before heading out to hunt. This gives the dog food about 12 hours to be digested. The reason we do this is to meet the dog’s nutritional needs for energy to retrieve, stay warm and to perform at his best.

Still Hunters Can Benefit from Hunters Using Dogs

One aspect of hunting with dogs that we've been able to take advantage of is the fact that dogs can’t see antlers. They run what they smell. Many times when dogs come on to our land running a deer, they may be running a doe, and we’ll see old smart bucks get up and sneak out of the woods so the dogs don’t find them. Then we’ll have an opportunity to take a mature buck

Trail Camera Settings

Today’s trail cameras have a ton of options that you can set up specifically for your location and situation. If you’re setting it up over deer bait like corn or a mineral lick, turn your frequency and sensitivity down so you don’t end up with a lot of photos of the same thing. If you’re using your camera over a deer scrape, trail or opening of a food plot, turn the frequency and sensitivity up

Hunting Club Management and Camaraderie

On the cattle farm property where we have 15 members, we have a clubhouse, and it’s nicer than many people’s homes. We have satellite TV, air conditioning, electric heat, a bunk room, kitchen, washer and dryer - making it a home away from home. Every morning we get up and cook breakfast, and we all come out and eat together. I think most of our members belong to that club as much if not more

Bucks in Velvet and Stand Placement

North Carolina will have a lot of hunters come in from out of state for early bow season in hopes of taking a buck in the velvet, but I've never taken a buck in the velvet. Some of our club members enjoy hunting and taking velvet- antlered bucks. About 10 years ago, one of our members took a velvet-antlered buck that scored 140 inches.

Early Season Deer Hunting with Marshall Collette

I bowhunt as well as rifle hunt. We tend to take our biggest bucks off both properties during muzzleloader season, which arrives at the end of October and continues through the first of November. The first week or two of rifle season generally starts the second Saturday of November. Like many other states, at the first of bow season, I do more scouting than I actually hunt.

Why Deer Hunting with Dogs Is So Important to Simon Ellis

The main joy I get out of deer hunting is listening to my dogs as they run a deer. I’m even happy if someone else takes the buck that my dogs are running. But the life at the camp and the camaraderie we all have with one another and with one another’s families is really the reason most of us deer hunt

Trail Cam Location Strategies: Monitoring Your Bucks

To keep tabs on your bucks you must keep your trail camera locations moving throughout the season. Once hard antler occurs, their need for minerals will decline. When this happens, switch your camera set-ups from BioRock mineral sites to mock scrape locations and specific food sources.

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.
