I Took a Shot at 273 Yards with My Muzzleloader

I took an 8-point buck at 273 yards using this load in this rifle. I hadn’t planned on hunting that afternoon. I went home, got my gun and was taking a slow, easy walk through the woods when I saw something move out on the far side of the hardwoods. I froze and kept looking and looking, until I could determine that the movement I had spotted was a nice-size shooter buck. I had shot

Improve Hunting Success: Stand Approach is Key

Even if you have the best spot in the world, if you alert the whitetails to your presence while on the way into your site…it won’t matter. Stand approach is an often overlooked aspect of the hunt. You must get to your ambush site without alerting any animals. Obviously wind direction and thermal current has to be considered, but masking your sounds and making sure you’re not seen are equally important. There are many strategies

How to Take Bears and Deer on New York’s Public Lands

One of the big advantages I have is that the place I hunt is only 10 miles from my home near the town of Elma. Our rifle season starts November 21 at the same time as our shotgun season. At this time, I usually go to southern New York to hunt. I’ll be hunting for black bears with my rifle there. We’ll be bear hunting around the towns of Whitesville and Independence from tree stands

Frank Miskey Loves New York Deer Hunting

Often when I tell someone I live in New York, they equate the word New York with Manhattan, Broadway and the World Trade Center. But I live 450 miles from Manhattan, where there are a lot of great hunting opportunities. In the northern section of the state, I hunt deer in hardwoods and apple orchards. From Lake Ontario down to the Pennsylvania border, we hunt high plateaus, valleys in big hardwoods and the edges of

Howard’s System to Eliminate Human Odor

One question I'm often asked is what I’m doing to keep the deer from smelling my human odor, especially since we have warm weather most of deer season. Some people say that I'm over the top in my concern about hiding or masking human odor. When I hunt, I bathe in scent-free soap, I wash my clothes in scent-free clothes wash, and I put scent-free products in my dryer. When I take my clothes out

Trophy Bucks in South Alabama

Twenty years ago, we often would see 50 to 75 deer in a food plot at one time, and you could actually see a browse line from the deer in most of the woods where we hunted. But when we had a biologist from Alabama’s Department of Conservation come in and do a survey, he told us we needed to start harvesting more does from our land. At that time, a trophy buck was an

Food Plots Suffering from Lack of Rain?

With the dry conditions many folks in the mid-south and southeast have dealt with this planting season, early fall food plots may have been a bust. Using a no-till drill can also be a life saver when you have to plant late or in dry fall conditions.

Harvest a Doe Every Day and Three Bucks Per Season

December is the month that we start harvesting does on those large-cover crop fields. During hunting season, December is the slowest month for seeing a buck. We feel like December is the calm before the storm. This month is just before the pre-rut begins, and there’s no reason for bucks to move during daylight hours before the rut.

Hunt Deer Between Cover Crops and Food Plots

I've discovered that the real key to taking deer all year long on the land I hunt is: first of all don’t let the deer know that I'm hunting them. I want to be the least intrusive I can be to not spook the deer or disturb the place I'm hunting. I think one of the reasons that early-season bowhunters aren’t as successful as they can be is because when they go to their stands,

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.
