Keep Your Property Free of Trespassers

When you catch someone on your property during hunting season who isn’t supposed to be there, what do they always tell you? “I’m tracking a wounded deer.” They say this because in most states it is legal to follow a wounded animal across a property border to try and recover it. The problem is that habitual trespassers have learned this defense and use it for an excuse to go wherever they please. On the chance

The Post Rut - When to Hunt by Terry Drury

Once the rut is totally over, Mark and I start hunting only in the evenings. After the rut is over, generally the buck has lost a lot of weight, and he needs to rebuild his body weight for the winter. So, he will be all about going to the food sources. He substitutes the need to breed with the need to feed.

The Rut Is On - When to Take the Mature Buck with Terry Drury

Mark and I have both observed that when the rut has really turned on, the older-age-class bucks usually don’t move until later in the morning. In Missouri, the pre-rut and the rut starts kicking-in the first week of November. The bucks will be looking for that first estrous doe that is getting ready to breed.

A Serious Oinking Hazard

My two sons and I love to hunt and shoot wild hogs, especially after deer season. Wild hog hunting provides many opportunities for my sons and I to share the outdoors together. It also helps us to sharpen our shooting/hunting skills during the off-season.

Here Comes the Rut - Where to Set Up Your Treestand

As the rut begins to kick in, Mark and I will move our treestands. We still will hunt the field edges in the evenings where a lot of does will be feeding on that BioLogic Clover Plus and some of the other BioLogic plantings we have. The does that are coming into estrus will move to those green fields late in the afternoon. For our morning hunts, we will set up treestands farther into the

Protect Your Plots from Drought

With today’s ever-changing climates and rainfall often in short supply, it is very important for land managers to be prepared for the worst. Certain steps can be taken during the hot, dry summer months to effectively maximize the production of your food plots even during drought conditions or periods of limited rainfall. Inadequate precipitation or droughts (especially during the summer months) can be detrimental to your food plots if you are not prepared.

Learn to Nest and Where to Place Your Treestand with Terry Drury

Birds build nests in trees and bushes, and these nests are supported by branches and limbs and are almost invisible to predators. This is the same strategy I use when I am bowhunting in the early season. I like to have limbs and bushes especially under my treestand that hide my body up to my knees or waist. This way, there is only half as much of me for the deer to see, than there

Terry Drury Shares Deer Hunting Tips

We pick our camouflage depending on the back cover that we have when we are hunting from treestands. If a deer brings his head up and looks straight at us, we want that deer to be able to look through us, or just see us a part of the tree in which we are hunting. Mossy Oak makes so-many-different patterns of camouflage that we always can find one that is perfect for the place that

What I love about the CanCooker is it allows you to cook a lot of food without a lot of work. CanCooker makes a complete meal in about one hour. What is really cool is the CanCooker works on any heat source – campfire, camp stove, propane stove, charcoal or gas grill, turkey fryer, stove top, etc. and it’s easy to clean up!

Bill Custer Makes a 60 Yard Shot on an Elk

The huge bull kept staring at me, but I was wearing Mossy Oak Break-Up, and he never could seem to decide what I was. Then he took-off at a gallop, but because he was so big, he didn’t jump the fence. He just seemed to step over it.

We had him! Chad McKibben, John Copas and I, sat huddled around Chad’s computer looking at pictures of a beautiful nine-point buck that came to feed as regularly as clockwork throughout the summer months. Game camera photos offered us a window into the buck’s life and helped us plot his movements with great precision. Now the only dilemma that remained was to decide which of us would have an opportunity to take him on opening

Bill Custer Passes Up an Elk and Later Takes Him

I’d learned that most of the elk in this section of land came to wallows between 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm. So, I didn’t go to a tree stand over a wallow in the mornings to hunt. I arrived at my tree stand about 3:00 pm. On this particular hunt when I got to my tree stand, I became fidgety. I’m not a tree stand hunter. I’m a spot-and-stalk hunter primarily. But since I’d seen

Strategies For Hunting the "Second Rut"

Often, the first to mid-December, white-tailed does, and bucks go into what many hunters refer to as the second rut. Some hunters do not like to use the term second rut to describe the re-occurring breeding activities that occur during this time because the rutting activity is far different from that of the primary rut.
