Who Is the Mossy Oak Family and How Did It Become That?

I also guide my family on turkey hunts. My son, Gregory, and I were hunting out in Texas. I yelped a few times on my big, long box call. The turkeys answered, and I told Gregory, “Let’s mount our horses.” We didn’t really have any horses, but I meant we had to run to the spot to set up to call the turkeys. When we reached the place I wanted to be, I sat Gregory

Bill Sugg Says Sharing Turkey Hunting is about Giving Back

Bill Sugg, the president of Haas Outdoors/Mossy Oak, has been with the company and Toxey Haas, since its beginning. The relationship between Sugg and Haas was rooted in turkey hunting. In most companies the size of Mossy Oak, you'd expect to see the president of the company in a coat and tie with well-polished shoes sitting behind a big heavy oak desk, but not Sugg. During the spring of the year, when he arrives at

From the President’s Point Of View

All the top people in Mossy Oak are turkey hunters. Toxey even suggested we might put a box for a check mark by the question, “Do you turkey hunt?” on our application for employment. My passion for turkey hunting is much like what happens when you throw a rock into a puddle of water. Those few ripples after the rock hits the water represent my family and Mossy Oak friends. They know how much I

Keith Kelly Loves to Go West to Hunt Gobbling Turkeys

There’s not a better decoy made than a live hen out in front of a hunter’s blind. In just a few minutes, we looked to the right and saw a longbeard coming into the food plot from the same direction that the hen had come. He was shying away from my hen decoy and was walking toward the live hen he could see out in the field. When the gobbler was about 35 yards from

Preacher Jacob Aranza Bags an Osceola Turkey

I had guided Randy Nader to his gobbler on Saturday, and the next day on Sunday afternoon, a new group of hunters arrived. My hunter for the second Seamark hunt at Dee-Dot was a pastor from Louisiana, Jacob Aranza. He was a great guy to spend time with in the woods, and we went to another food plot and set up for an afternoon hunt.

Keith Kelly’s Turkey Hunt at Florida’s Seamark Ranch

Seamark Ranch, a faith-based ranch that’s a children’s home, is located in Clay County close to Green Cove Springs, or about an hour from Jacksonville. Every year we have a charity hunt at the 26,000 acre Dee-Dot Ranch that I manage for the Seamark Ranch. It’s not far from the property I manage, and all the money that hunters pay to go on this hunt goes to help support the Seamark Ranch.

Keith Kelly Talks Decoys for Osceolas

In south Florida, the terrain is much more open, and decoys are almost a necessity because we hunt these south Florida turkeys like you hunt field turkeys in other states. However, when I say, “Decoys are almost a necessity,” you can take Osceola turkeys without using decoys, if you hunt with a buddy who’s also a good caller. We hunt Osceolas by using decoys to lure them in to where we are.

By Terry Madewell, originally published in the 1994 edition of Mossy Oak Bowhunting Magazine 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

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.
