Eva Shockey Learns to Bowfish and What Happens to the Harvested Fish

Here’s one of the things that really surprised me. When I was learning how to bowfish, I quickly realized that I had to forget everything I knew about target archery and bowhunting and reprogram my brain. When you're bowfishing, you don’t have an anchor point to anchor your shot, and you don’t always pull your bow all the way to the back wall before you shoot. Also, I’ve learned that I can shoot faster and

Want More Turkeys?

One of the most satisfying aspects in game management is maintaining a healthy crop of turkeys to hunt or bringing back a wild turkey population in an area where they have struggled in the past. A simple mistake we see made every year that can have a negative impact on your turkey numbers is the good old bush hog.

Eva Shockey’s First Bowfishing Shot Took Her First Fish

I've shot a compound bow most of my life, and I’ve learned I still can shoot my compound bow and/or recurve bow to take fish. One of the aspects of bowfishing that’s really different is that you have to snap shoot and shoot instinctively. As soon as you see the fish underwater, you have to draw and shoot. So, I had to learn to shoot instinctively.

How a Turkey Hunt Is Supposed to Happen But Doesn’t

So the moral of the story is: when you go turkey hunting, you never know what the turkey will do, even though you think you do. You never know what your turkey hunting partner will do, although you think you do. Also, you never really know what you’ll do, even though you think you do.

Tips for Taking Kids Hunting

I have been very fortunate to get to take many young hunters to the field. It is a very rewarding experience, but it requires a whole other level of preparation and patience. Their attention span, patience and tolerances of weather can be very different from that of an experienced hunter. Here are a few things to keep in mind when taking kids afield.

Turkeys Don’t Know They’re Teaching You about Turkey Hunting

I've been hunting turkeys all my life, and I feel comfortable that I know quite a bit about turkeys and turkey hunting. However, I’ve realized that the most-important thing I know about turkeys is that they teach me something different every day that I hunt them. They can’t read, they can’t watch television, and therefore they don’t know what they're supposed to do. One of the biggest mistakes that most veteran turkey hunters make is

3 Reasons You Should Be Planting Brassicas

It’s common knowledge among food plotters that Brassicas such as radish, rape, and turnips make for attractive deer food plots. However, as gamekeepers we need to focus on more than just using food plots as a tool to bring deer in closer for a shot. So what are brassicas good for other than being a favorite fall/winter food item?

Bob Walker on What He Knows That Turkeys Don’t Know

I've watched hundreds of hunters miss turkeys. When the turkeys hear that big explosion and see pellets whizzing past their heads, they know the time has come to leave and to leave quickly. Those turkeys understand that. But I don’t think turkeys realize they’ve been able to escape, because the hunter hasn’t had his cheek up against the stock before he pulls the trigger.

What to Know About Auctions

In the world of buying and selling land, auctions stand out as a quick way to transfer property from one owner to the next. When listing property on the market it can take months or even years to come to some sort of concrete agreement regarding the exact details of the sale. Further, buyers have more negotiating power under normal circumstances because they are not necessarily confined to a deadline.

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.
