Best Dog Breed for Hunting Mountain Lions

I’m often asked about dog breeds for mountain lion hunting. I mostly run Walker hounds. I like them because they’ll generally run faster than black and tans, they have really good noses, they typically have good dispositions, and they’re easy to handle. I have had Plott and blue tick hounds. The two Plotts I had did really well, but I am just partial to Walker dogs.

One of Lynn Worwood’s Most Exciting Lion Hunts

I was out with a bunch of friends hunting mountain lions when we found a lion’s track. We turned out a few dogs to let them run the track. They trailed for about an hour, and we could hear them treeing the lion off in the distance. Back then we didn’t have tracking collars or hand-held GPS receivers to keep up with our dogs. So, we had to stay close enough to the dogs to

Pulling a Mountain Lion’s Tail

I’ve always wanted to pull a mountain lion’s tail. Why? I don’t know. I guess because I’ve never had the opportunity to do it. Mossy Oak prostaffer and avid hunter Lynn Worwood of Nephi, Utah, has had the opportunity. He’s also been with other people when they’ve pulled mountain lions’ tails. This week, Worwood gives us some insight on mountain lion hunting.

Two Double Downs in 2 Days

I put out a jake decoy along an old woods road. We called about six more times, and the gobblers started moving toward us, gobbling and strutting all the way. As they spotted the decoys, Matt and I each took a longbeard at the same time.

The Traveling Turkey Hunter

I scouted so much, I took my first two birds during the first three days of turkey season this year. I knew that three days of turkey hunting could not and would not satisfy my turkey-hunting addiction. If I couldn’t find somebody else who hadn’t filled their tags that I could guide and call for after those three days, I’d be totally without the possibility of being able to hunt again until the following year.

Brett Berry Loves to Hunt Turkeys

When I was in college, we learned everything we could about wildlife management in two years. One of our assignments was to go out into the woods every morning and count the number of turkeys we heard gobbling. The first morning I went out and heard my first wild turkey gobble; I was hooked. I told my partner that I wanted to hunt those birds. We were so busy with our classes, I didn’t get

Frustrating Turkey Hunts with Perry Peterson

We would give the cameraman a hard time just for fun for not letting the shooter shoot, and then we would kid with him that he was in the wrong spot. At first those scenarios were somewhat frustrating, but I really understood that the Mossy Oak film crew was trying to do the best job they could and make the best video they could make. If the turkey wasn’t right, then there was no point

Memorable Iowa Turkey Hunts with Youngsters

I have been taking youngsters turkey hunting with me for the last 20 years. To me there is nothing more fun than watching a youngster get all excited when he or she sees one of those big gobblers coming in to my calls, strutting and drumming and about to gobble his head off. It really does not matter whether the kid shoots the turkey or not. The joy and excitement I get from watching those

7 Tips to Keep Weeds Under Control

Spray when grasses or broadleaf weeds are young and thriving. If you wait to spray when they are tall and mature, the results will often be less than desirable. If weeds are already tall and maturing, mow first and return 7-10 days later to spray the new re-growth.
