Rena Parsons Loves Hunting Antelope

I'm often asked why I love antelope hunting so much. I guess it’s because when we go antelope hunting, we see a lot of game. Antelope hunting isn’t like hunting elk or deer. To hunt deer or elk, you may have to do a lot of hiking and scouting before you see a critter. When we go out antelope hunting, we just drive out on the prairie. When we spot a herd of antelope, we

Rena Parsons Is Bitten by the Antelope Bug

I've been hunting antelope for 10 years, and I've taken a buck every season. But I never will forget my first hunt that took place in 2007. We had moved from South Carolina to Wyoming. The first year we were here Chad put in for a non-resident tag, and I went with him on this hunt. By 2008, we had established our residency in Wyoming, so Chad and I could get resident tags.

For the Love of Antelopes

Chad and I started the hunt with the veterans as a payback to the men and women who fight for our country and defend our freedoms. Since Chad is a veteran, he totally understands what these men and women who go overseas to fight for us endure on their tours of duty. We love to antelope hunt, and we thought some veterans would love to take an antelope with us as we would cover all

Preparing New Property for Big Bucks

More hunters are realizing that you can produce high-quality bucks on small acreages like this new 120 acres I’ve just purchased. Another advantage to this property is that it’s very thick and overgrown without a very good tillage value. So this property is something that most people looking for land won’t buy. However, this past spring, we took three gobblers off the new land.

Preparation for Bowhunting Deer

At the end of turkey season this year, we started planting every field we have with soybeans and corn in preparation for deer season. We probably have 50 acres of corn and between 100-120 acres of soybeans planted. In March, we planted our BioLogic Clover Plus to make sure that we had plenty of food for both deer and turkeys. We already had some established clover fields, so we top-seeded them for frost seeding. We

The Tale of Taylor’s Turkey

My daughter, Taylor, has been hunting turkeys since she was 10 years old. She is 22 now. As always, Taylor and I hunted together this season. We went to Iowa, one of our favorite places to hunt. Taylor doesn’t do real well getting up before daylight to go out and hunt turkeys, but she gets all fired up about an afternoon hunt.

Top 3 Plants for Attracting Whitetails

Perennials such as red and white clovers, chicory and alfalfa are known for providing nutrition for much of the year, and they do. However, they are also excellent attraction for the first part of the hunting season. Make sure to manage your perennials – a mowed and fertilized perennial plot is much more attractive than one that has not been.

The Tale of Grandpa’s Stevens Shotgun

My Grandpa, Bill Ritter (my mother’s dad) had a Stevens shotgun that could always win turkey shoots. When I was 16 years old, my grandpa gave me that shotgun to go to shooting matches and compete with it. After Grandpa gave me the gun, I took the gun to a gunsmith and had the stock replaced, mounted a scope on the gun and had the barrel choked-down to be ready for the shooting matches we

Transitioning from Turkey Season to Deer Season

Probably one of my most memorable hunts this year was a hunt I made with my mom. My dad, Ralph Drury, passed away this year on March 16. All of us in the family wanted to make sure we kept my mom, Lucille Drury, as active as possible. So, I invited my sisters, Barb and Linda, 65 and 66 years old, up to hunt with my brother Terry and me. It was their first-ever turkey

Turkey Decoys and Texas Turkeys

In between my Alabama hunts, I made a trip to Texas with some friends to hunt Rio Grande turkeys. I had already taken three gobblers in Alabama before the Texas trip. Some buddies of mine from college and I always talked about going to Texas to hunt Rio Grande gobblers, but we’d never had the opportunity. One of my friends knew a rancher in Texas who had some Rio Grande gobblers on his property, so

Blow a Trumpet Call to Bring in Gobbling Turkeys

We used every call in our vests to get this gobbler to come to us, and nothing was working. I thought surely to goodness one of those calls would bring that old hung-up gobbler to within gun range, but I was wrong. Then dad pulled the trumpet call out of his vest and sucked on the mouthpiece to make the sound of a hen turkey. After hearing the trumpet call, the longbeard gobbled.
