Kyle Meyer’s First Buck with a Bow

As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’ve been hunting with my dad since I was 4 years old. I’d watched him pass up little bucks and only harvest mature bucks. So, when I was old enough to hunt on my own, I adopted my dad’s philosophy. Dad didn’t harvest little bucks, and neither would I. All my friends and my dad’s friends would tell me, “You’re a little kid, so, go ahead and shoot a 1-1/2-year-old buck,”

Kyle Meyer Hunts for the Super Seven Buck

This 3-year-old buck that was living right behind my house - only about 500 yards from my back door – was what we called a management buck. He didn’t appear to have the potential to be more than a 7-pointer, but I named him the Super Seven. The buck was living in a 15-acre woodlot, surrounded by crop lands, with a river bottom coming out of it that meandered into another 20-acre woodlot.

Is Rocky Soil Holding Back Your Food Plot Success?

A common problem many guys have to work around in their food plots and wildlife openings is rocks. Having to cultivate soil that is heavily littered with rocks can cause multiple problems when it comes to managing a food plot. Besides it being outright difficult to create a good seed bed in rocky soil, the rocks can be really hard on equipment causing pre-mature wear and break downs.

Kyle Meyer Crawls to the Texarkana Buck

On this particular day, we’d cut soybeans all day and finally quit at 2:30 am. We returned that morning at 7:30 am to get the combines ready to start cutting more beans. When I arrived at a combine, I looked out in the field and saw Texarkana stand up in the soybeans that hadn’t been cut. We’d named this buck Texarkana, since he looked like a Texas deer with a wide rack and short tines.

How Ideas about Women Hunting Have Changed

I remember that in the early days, many men were surprised that I’d go into the woods before daylight. They truly didn’t know what to think when I’d put up my own tree stand and go to my stand by myself. But today when I walk into a hunting camp, and I’ve got my own tree stand and my own hunting equipment, I get much more respect from everyone than I did in the early

Brenda Valentine Is a Traveling Hunter But Loves Her Home Farm Most

Brenda Valentine Is Rabid about Tree Stand Safety

I was hunting near my home and was using my climbing tree stand to climb a big red oak tree. I was trimming limbs off the tree as I climbed it. I had one of those old-style safety harnesses that went around your chest but didn’t have leg loops. But I failed to attach the harness to the tree, because back then you didn’t attach yourself to the tree, until you were at the height

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

Big Bucks Avoid People in Summer Too: Low-Impact Scouting Tips

Heath Wood The summer months present a prime opportunity for scouting whitetails. Bucks are in velvet, rapidly developing their antlers, and often follow consistent feeding routines.
