Nicole Reeve - I Haven’t Let My Pregnancy Slow Me Down about Hunting

We’re really looking forward to taking our newborn with us on some of our hunts next year. The new baby represents the next generation of the “Driven” family. Just like Mossy Oak believes strongly in family and the outdoors, everyone connected with the “Driven” TV show is all about family and taking youngsters hunting.

Nicole Reeve Tells Us Change Is Coming

The 2014/2015 was a crazy year for Pat and me both. We went to Alberta. As you read last week, Pat took a really-nice Shiras moose there. I wasn’t able to go on some of the hunts that Pat went on this year, because I was expecting a new little one. I had to stay behind on some of the hunts, but I was able to do some really-cool hunts. I went to Montana elk

I make no claims to be better at turkey hunting than the next guy and in reality I’m not. That’s why (for me anyway) when you pull off a zone 1 miracle it’s sweet. I’ve been hunting with many of the so called “best” turkey hunters in the nation and none of them kill or call in a longbeard on each and every hunt and would not claim too. I have had many hunts where

Wounded Veteran Finds Another Chance at Life Outside

Marine Cpl. Christian Brown, of Mumford, Tenn., grew up in the outdoors and learned his earliest life lessons while following his father through the woods. Nature’s greatest rewards didn’t come to his attention, though, until he returned years later, missing his legs and looking for the person he had been.

Pat Reeve and His Iowa Whitetail

In 2014, Nicole and I both drew Iowa late season muzzleloader whitetail deer tags for the southeastern zone of the state. We hunted out of Wingover Ranch, an area we’d hunted the previous year during the late muzzleloader season. I was fortunate enough then to take a whitetail buck that scored 180 points Boone & Crockett.

Pat Reeve Explains When a Brown Bear Hunt Is More Than a Brown Bear Hunt

I decided to give up the entire month of November to go to Kodiak Island in Alaska to hunt brown bear with a bow. I wanted to hunt the brown bears fishing in the salmon streams. To my way of thinking, this is a classic brown bear hunt. I never had hunted Kodiak Island, yet I knew this island off the Alaskan Peninsula was where most of the giant brown bear were taken.

Pat Reeve Takes a Big Canadian Whitetail in Alberta

My son Carson took three animals this year, and Nicole reminded me of how much fun we had on those hunts. We really enjoy hunting with our children, and those are probably the most-memorable hunts all year, every year.

Understanding Food Plot Fertilizers

A food plot farmer needs to understand that a fertilizer recommendation is just a suggestion for the amount of (N) nitrogen, (P) phosphorus and (K) potassium that particular crop uses during a typical growing season under average conditions and a neutral pH. It is NOT necessarily the fertilizer you should be using! A soil test should be done to determine “your soil’s” pH and current nutrient load. These figures are used in union with what

Reeve and His Hunt for the Shiras Moose

Nicole and I had a lot of great hunting opportunities in 2014, and several hunts really stood out in my mind. One of our most-memorable hunts was in Alberta, Canada, with Glenn Brown and Blue Bronna Outfitters. We were hunting in the mountains - basically the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The terrain was really steep like that you’d find when you were hunting sheep.But on this hunt, we were hoping to take Shiras moose from this

Pass It On: It All Comes Together

As I’ve mentioned in my other “Pass It On” articles, sharing time in the field with new hunters is a very rewarding experience. It’s a time to share your love and knowledge of the outdoors with them and make some wonderful memories in the process. However, there will come a time when you have to let them step out on their own. I think this is best done in controlled circumstances that give them some

Eva Shockey Tells What’s Next in Her Life

I have a countdown on my phone until my wedding day at my parents’ home on June 20, 2015, to my fiancé Tim Brent. One reason I was excited about coming to the Guntersville bowfishing tournament was because Tim could come with me and went bowfishing with us. He told me not to tell, but I'm going to tell anyway. I beat him taking four fish to his zero fish. Tim loves to fish, and
