Must-Know Tips for Scent Lures

Out of all possible tactics available to whitetail hunters, the use of scent is one that can show the highest rate of success since deer trust their sense of smell above all else. Scent should often be used as a confidence builder in combination with other stimuli like calling or decoys. As an example, if a buck hears rattling and swings downwind to scent-check the area (as most mature bucks will do), but then smells

Brenda Valentine Helps Break the Ice for Women Hunters

Thirty years ago I didn’t know any women who were part of the outdoor hunting industry. However, I loved to hunt and had hunted all my life. I’d shot my bow and arrow for many years. But I guess the first time I ever saw other women involved in the outdoors was when I started shooting 3D archery. I began to see more women at the 3D archery tournaments I attended, who were very proficient

From Subsistence Hunting to the First Lady of Hunting

According to Mossy Oak Pro Brenda Valentine of Puryear, Tennessee, known as the First Lady of Hunting, “I don’t let much grass grow under my feet.

Harness Up Before You Go Up

Since my fall, I'm a total believer in having life lines on every tree stand from which I hunt. If I'm going into a new area to hunt, or if I'm hunting with an outfitter or a friend who already has set up tree stands, the first thing I ask is, “What type of stand will I be hunting from - a ladder stand, a box stand, a ground blind, a climbing tree stand and/or

Steward’s Mistake Almost Cost His Life

Once I went up the steps to sit in the stand to determine which limbs needed to be trimmed, I noticed that squirrels had been chewing on the seat of the stand. I never thought that a squirrel might chew on the stand’s straps. When I put my first foot on the stand, everything was fine. But when I transferred my weight and put my second foot on the stand, the strap broke, and I

Add New Straps to Fixed Position Stands

Before the season this year, I went to check a stand, and one of the buckles on the strap I had on my tree stand actually had grown into the tree. Often you can’t loosen the old strap enough to get the strap off the tree and the stand. So, I just add a new tree stand strap to my tree stand. Then, I feel confident about it holding the tree stand. With this technique,

Overrated Wildlife Trees

Planting and managing trees for wildlife food is more of a long term approach compared to food plots and supplemental feeds. With plots and feed you can easily change or adjust at a moments or seasonal notice. Careful and thorough consideration needs to be made prior to loading your property up with trees. Following are three species of tree choices that I either don’t recommend, or recommend limiting to fit a specific niche.

Blair Goins Knew He’d Messed Up

Most novice tree stand hunters fall either when they're climbing up or coming down the tree, however, most experienced tree stand hunters often fall due to malfunctions with their tree stands or not checking their stands just before they hunt. I know several experienced tree stand hunters who’ve fallen because the straps around the tree that have held their fixed position stands have broken. Or, when they’ve gotten into a tree stand someone else has
