Don’t Forget to Mow and Spray Herbicides

People have told me, “I hate to cut grass. So, why would mowing clover be a good idea?” If you mow the seed heads off the clover and alfalfa, you encourage new growth to appear and get a thicker, healthier plant.

What to Plant When and Why

If I only have one food plot that I can plant, I’ll probably plant an annual. In the spring, I’ll plant either BioMass or LabLab. In the late summer or early fall, I’ll rotate the crop into a cool season planting like BioLogic Maximum or BioLogic Outfitters Blend. However, if I have multiple plots, I’ll plant some of the fields in perennials, like clover, chicory and alfalfa. I’ll use my other food plots to plant

Grow Bigger, Better Bucks Right Now

I really believe that the most-overlooked yet easiest thing for a hunter or a landowner to do that dramatically can increase the yield on the crop planted for wildlife is to take a soil sample and send it off to be analyzed. You can save money by adding the ingredients your soil needs and not adding other ingredients that the soil doesn’t require. If you follow the advice from your soil test, this advice will

Flashlights are a key piece of equipment for all hunters and outdoors enthusiasts.

T&M Tactical Lighted Gloves has helped to solve this problem for hunters with the Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity hunting glove.

How to Talk Rio Grande Gobblers

If you like listening to turkeys talk, if you like hearing and seeing several gobblers during the morning and the afternoon hunt, if you dream about hearing 20 gobblers gobbling from one area, then a Rio Grande turkey hunt needs to be on your hunting agenda. The Rio Grande turkey is more likely to do what a turkey’s supposed to do, when a turkey’s supposed to do it, than an eastern gobbler is.

Watch The Weather and Watch Out

Winter hit hard and early in the Rocky Mountains this year. Late season hunts were all done in bitter conditions, proving again, that if you're gonna be in the chase, you better be prepared. The pursuit of our outdoor obsessions should always be done with a respect for the mountains we climb and the woods we hike through.

A Day of Hunting for Rio Grande Turkeys

Turkey hunting is much like bass fishing. There are some bass fishermen who are looking for that bass that’s ready to bite. Then there’s other bass fishermen who believe they can make any bass bite, whether the fish are hungry or not. They’ll stay in one area, be patient and continue to fish for that bass until they finally catch him. I’m not like this kind of bass fisherman.

Persistence Pays Off When a Rio Grande Turkey Hangs Up

Although you usually see and hear numbers of turkeys and get in places where gobblers show up, a Rio Grande turkey hunt won’t be an easy turkey hunt. One of the problems we have with Rio Grande gobblers is the really-open terrain. The gobbler expects to see a hen when he hears a hen. If he’s within 50 or 60 yards of a hen, he thinks that hen should walk to him. So, we’ve had

Seed Bed Preparation is Crucial

Seed bed preparation is extremely important in growing successful food plots. Many planting failures can be attributed to poor seedling survival or lack of germination due to incorrect planting depth and poor seed bed prep. This is especially critical when planting small seeds like clover, chicory, brassicas, or alfalfa.

You Can Hunt Rio Grande Gobblers All Day

One of the biggest differences that eastern hunters notice, when they come to the West or Midwest to hunt Rio Grande gobblers is that they get to hear a lot of gobbling. I don’t think we put as much hunting pressure on our turkeys as the eastern gobbler has had. I’ve had some eastern hunters tell me that in 3 days of hunting at Heart of Texas Bowhunting, they’ll hear more turkeys gobble than they’ll

Find Another Turkey to Hunt

When a wild turkey tom wakes up in the morning and starts gobbling from the limb, I think he’s like a tightly-wound rubber band. If you see a turkey with a lot of hens, and you’ve tried to call to that bird and can’t pull him away from the hens, leave him, go hunt another turkey, return to that same area, try and call him again; or, come back late in the afternoon, and attempt

Capture the Moment with Quality Photos

We spend countless hours and days preparing, driving, scouting, and hunting turkeys. But it’s interesting how once we’ve accomplished our mission, few of us take a few extra minutes to take care of our bird and put forth the effort to capture the moment with quality photos. I’d suggest to everyone reading this that it’s worth taking a few extra minutes and going through a little extra trouble each time you, a friend, or family

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.
