David Hale Says Bet on the Water for Hot Weather Bucks

In the early season when the weather is stinking hot, deer must have water and have it more often in the early season than they do in the late season. Therefore, I always scout water sources during the early season and look for deer trails coming into and going away from the water.

David Hale and His Early Season Blackpowder Kansas Buck

Back in the old days before trail cameras ever were invented and long before they were popular to use to find and take deer, Harold and I would use the old school tactic of going into the woods early looking for deer sign and use our best-guess tactics to try and figure out where and when a buck would appear. The other strategy that we employed was field scouting.

David Hale: How, Why And When He Decides To Take an Opening Day Buck

If I find a really outstanding buck that I want to take, I’ll hunt him that first week of September when deer season arrives in Kentucky. But if my trail camera reveals that I only have mediocre-size bucks on the land I hunt, I’ll often wait until the second week of September when most of the bucks will be out of the velvet to hunt. But I have taken a number of opening-day bucks over

David Hale on Hot Weather Deer Hunting

70-year-old David Hale and 72-year-old Harold Knight formed Knight & Hale Game Calls in 1972. Before then they helped release some of the first wild turkeys reintroduced to the state of Kentucky. When David Hale first started hunting turkeys, he never had seen or heard of a turkey call. He hunted turkeys like he would hunt a deer. Because Hale was a superb woodsman, he would spend time learning the movement patterns of the few

Ryan Koelsch and the Velvet Antlered Kansas Buck

The latest I’ve ever taken a buck was on November 3rd one year. Since I sell real estate during October and November, I have a lot of hunters coming into my Mossy Oak Properties’ real-estate office, looking for hunting land to purchase.

Ryan Koelsch Passes Up a 170 Buck for Three Years

I saw the biggest buck that I’d ever seen when he would have scored about 170. He would have been a good trophy for any hunter. But I knew age and food produced the biggest bucks, so I let that buck walk after I first got pictures of him on my trail cameras. Each year for 3 years when I was getting pictures of this buck, I was really worried that someone else might find

In Kansas, a resident hunter either can take a white-tailed buck or a mule deer buck. If you draw an imaginary line through the center of Kansas and decide to hunt west of that center line, you’ll have really good mule deer hunting and whitetail hunting. What’s made this area even better is there’s an abundance of public walking areas for hunting.

From the Archives: Bob Dixon and Steve Burnett on the Art of Mix and Matching Camo

By Terry Madewell, originally published in Mossy Oak's 1994 Bowhunting Catalog As big whitetail bucks are inclined to do, this one had done the unexpected. I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I would be 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.
