Getting Ready for Elk Season

Mark Hanson of Mesa, Arizona, took his first elk in 1984. He's been a member of the Mossy Oak Pro Staff for 7 years. To date, he’s harvested 10 bulls. However, he's called in more than 20 bulls for friends and family to take. “We hunt for elk by putting in for tags. If I don’t get drawn, I’ll help anyone who draws a tag find and take his elk. I also maintain a guide’s

Call in a Gobbler without Being a Great Caller

My friends Harold Knight and David Hale of Knight and Hale Game Calls did a video a few years ago titled,“The Last 100 Yards.” The video was about how to close the deal on a turkey and get him within gun range. These two guys are great turkey callers. However, they're quick to say, “There are thousands of turkeys harvested each season with a single-sided box call that the hunter uses for yelping and clucking.”

Stay Away From the Turkey in the Early Season

In the early part of the season before the foliage is fully out, if I can hear a turkey gobble, I believe there’s a good chance he can see me. So, I won’t try to get as close to a gobbler in the early season as I will in the late season. The other thing you have to remember, if you're taking a new hunter turkey hunting, is that more than likely, he/she will make

Locate a Listening Place

Once you’ve pinpointed an area where all signs indicate a turkey’s there, and you’ve gone out and listened for a turkey to gobble before daylight to confirm that a gobbler is there where you plan to hunt, next find a listening spot. Turkey hunting is more audible than visual. By that I mean, you should be able to hear a turkey much more than you can see a turkey.

Find the Turkey Before You Hunt Him

Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland is Mossy Oak’s vice president of television and video. From the early days of working with Primos Game Calls and Mossy Oak camo up until today, Cuz has probably called up as many, if not more, turkeys for other people as anyone. So, we've asked Cuz to give the advice he shares with first-time turkey hunters

Wyoming's Old West Invitational Turkey Shoot

It's 4 a.m. and snowing so hard that I can barely see the road. We have 40 miles of gravel through Wyoming's Black Hills to reach our hunting spot. Thankfully the GPS lady in my phone knows the way, because I am in 4-wheel drive and struggling to see the road. It takes a while longer than usual, but we finally reach the ranch we are assigned to hunt. An hour later the sun is

An Antelope and Duck Hunt for Maddy

Donnelle Johnson, also a Mossy Oak Pro Staffer, and I were teaching a hunting course at Cabela’s. We met 20-year-old Madelyn (Maddy) Crowley, a student at the University of Wyoming.

Camo Rings: A Business Born from Passion

To this day, I can still remember the sound of rain on the tin roof of our little one-room deer cabin in the middle of the woods. In a Pavlovian way, I can smell the smoke from the wood stove, see everyone wearing some sort of mismatched camouflage, and feel that little bream tugging on my line as the bright yellow, orange, and red leaves of autumn lazily fall to the ground around me. Today,

Lisa Thompson Tells About Her Family of Four Elk Hunt

I was able to purchase an over-the-counter elk tag to hunt in Walden, so Keith, my husband, and I took Kassidi and Kelli, our twin girls with us to hunt because they like to be in the out-of-doors. We take both girls every October and generally get a bull tag and a cow tag. Keith was hunting by himself and Kassidi, Kelli and I were on the edge of an open park, waiting for that

Often, the first to mid-December, white-tailed does, and bucks go into what many hunters refer to as the second rut.
