1000 Yards with a Ballistic Savant

Zach, 31, is a walking ballistic calculator, an outstanding elk guide, and arguably the nicest person you’ll ever cross paths with. He and a friend shoot pie plate groups at 200 yards with an open-site, factory .22LR loaded with junk ammo. Freehand. Having shot some of their builds, I knew that whatever was in the green case in the back of Thom’s rig would be a dandy. But I wasn’t entirely prepared for what they

Cuz Turkey Hunts with the Rock – Ryan Welch

The most-memorable turkey hunt that comes to mind first is a hunt I went on with the “Catch a Dream Foundation,” and a young man named Ryan Welch. “Catch a Dream” is an organization that takes seriously-ill children on whatever type of event the child wants to attend in the outdoors. Ryan’s dream was to go on a turkey hunt with either me or Will Primos. Ryan had a brain tumor and had quite a

Dave Parrott’s Game Camera Evolution

I have a technology background and have worked on computers and phone systems. So, I understand the technology that’s required to build a trail camera. When I started studying digital trail cameras, I told myself that I should be able to build one and save myself some money.

Dave Parrott Explains How to Bring Deer into Your Trail Cameras

I did some research using my homemade attractant and cover spray. I learned that if I put corn out in front of my camera, a buck would stay in front of the camera about 3 minutes and then leave. When I used my spray, as I recommended and put it on everything, the bucks would stay in front of my camera for 8 to 10 minutes.

With all the herbicides on the market I am frequently asked what each can be used for, which ones can be mixed and what can be added to them to make them more effective.

Japanese Honeysuckle- Embrace it, Eradicate it, or Deal With it?

The leaves and tender portions of the vines are an important source of browse for several species, but it’s most often noted as a highly preferred, practically year-round food source for deer. The seeds are utilized by several birds including mockingbirds, wild turkey, and quail, but because of its variability in fruiting, the seeds normally only make up a minor component. Due to its vigorous growth when exposed to sunlight, and its clumping nature in

Remember, the colder temperatures that camera is exposed to, the more energy that cold weather will pull out of your batteries. I recommend the Energizer Advanced Lithium Batteries. I put these kind of batteries in my DLC Covert cameras at the beginning of deer season and don’t change the batteries until the end of deer season.

How to Position Your Trail Cameras to Make Them the Most Effective They Can Be

Once I hang my camera, I take a picture to try and see what the camera sees. Many people will just hang their trail cameras, step back from the tree and say, “That looks good.” They do this without even seeing what type of coverage the camera angle has.

MS Prescribed Burning Program Accepting Applications

Prescribed fire is a very important tool for forest and wildlife management, but many private landowners are reluctant to use it because of cost and liability concerns. As part of the "Fire on the Forty" initiative, the partnership will reimburse burning projects in selected focal counties up to 50 percent of costs for implementing and performing a prescribed burn.

Improved Pockets for Wildlife

By now we’ve all realized that most of our favorite wildlife species prefer to enter, exit, and congregate in little tucked away nooks and crannies of food plots and openings. The most logical reason for this is safety from predators. A mature buck for example, can enter a secluded “pocket” unseen- for a quick late afternoon bite or scent-check the area knowing if something fishy happens he can quickly jet to secure edge-cover in either
