A Great Way To Capture Late Season Bucks On Camera

Deer in the northern and Midwest part of the states are starting to wind down a little from the rut and move back into a little bit more of a seeking food pattern.

Holding On To Bucks to Watch Them Grow

Illinois has the soil types and the agriculture and the deer genetics to produce big deer year-after-year. The management system we use to attract and hold mature bucks is working. We use Covert trail cameras to identify and keep up with the movement patterns of the bucks on our property.

Three States with Three Weapons

To be a good conservationist, in many areas, you have to harvest a certain number of deer - both bucks and does - to keep the deer herds in balance, since most of the natural predators that feed on deer have been removed. To accomplish this, I set up bucket lists for each method of hunting I enjoy. For instance, for bowhunting, my bucket list is to try and take a buck that will score

We Don’t Hunt Our Best Deer Stands until the Rut

In recent years, we’ve relied heavily on our trail cameras to create a hit list of the bucks we’re hoping to take on the properties we lease.

I'm the basketball coach for my two daughters’ basketball team.

To know which tactics will best serve you during late season it’s best that you “take your herd’s temperature.” That means you need to know the status of the herd.

Temple Prefers to Hunt Closer to the Buck’s Food Source

I know all types of methods are used to pinpoint older-age class bucks. However, if I locate the deer’s primary food source, I've learned that I’ll find the bucks. I know that many hunters prefer to hunt closer to the bedding area than to the food source, and I’ve tried that tactic a few times. Maybe it didn’t work because of my lack of experience in hunting that way, but I've noticed, if I get
