Understanding The American Persimmon

Many of us know how attractive the American Persimmon can be to wildlife, especially whitetail deer. But how many of us have spent numerous hours in the field scouting for these fruit-bearing trees only to find a large persimmon tree with no fruit on it at all? It’s important to do some scouting during the right time of year to figure out which trees are male and which are female.

Krissy Knox’s Best Blacktail Buck Deer

In 2011, I took my best blacktail buck that was a 4x4 that scored 109 inches - a trophy blacktail. To be considered a trophy blacktail taken with a bow, a buck has to score at least 90 inches. This buck was beautiful. Because the areas we hunt are so thick, most of the time we hunt from tree stands. We especially enjoy rattling in bucks during the rut.

The Long Hike Elk Hunt

We investigated the spot where the bull had been standing when I took the shot. Although we didn’t find any blood, we saw the direction where the bull had run. He’d gone into some really thick brush. Because night was approaching quickly, we decided to leave the bull and come back and try and find him the next day.

Krissy Knox’s Best Bull Elk

The second bull I took was during one of the greatest years we ever had elk hunting. Ryan and I decided to hike in six miles into the back country, set up a spike camp and then hunt out of the spike camp. We went to the deepest, darkest canyon we could locate the night before our hunt. We had found a herd of elk and put them to bed, before we went back to

New Mexico Elk and California Bears

My favorite thing about elk hunting is calling the elk in to a bowhunter. There’s nothing quite like hearing an 800-pound animal screaming out a bugle as he’s coming to you, thinking you’re another bull elk trying to steal cows from his herd. Most of the time the bull elk coming in already has determined he will beat you up if he finds you. Hear what that's like.

Elk and Mule Deer in Texas, New Mexico and Old Mexico

After we leave Texas and the enclosure elk hunt, I’ll be going to New Mexico to guide elk hunters for Mossy Oak. I’ll probably purchase a black bear tag to hopefully be able to take a black bear after the person I’m guiding fills his elk tag, depending on how many days are required to get my hunter the elk he wants to take with a bow.

August Hunters Can Take Hogs, Elk and Deer in California

I always tell my hunters to take as many hogs as the number of arrows they bring and the amount of money needed to buy as many hog tags as they want to take in California. We have a year-round hog season in California with no limit on the number of hogs you can take. But you do have to have a big game hunting license and a hog tag. If you want to purchase

Predator Hunting in January: Capitalizing on Cold Weather and Hungry Coyotes

By Heath Wood December marks a prime time for predator hunters as the cold temperatures of late fall transition into winter, pushing coyotes into a heightened state of activity. Even though I enjoy coyote hunting all year and have had success throughout the year, December often marks the start of my “winter season” of coyote calling and is the beginning of what I believe to be the best time to hunt coyotes.
