How Marshall Johnson Got to Work at the Mule Deer Foundation

I started applying for jobs in North Dakota. I went online to see when the mule deer’s chapter meetings would be held and saw a post for job opportunities, saying the Mule Deer Foundation wanted to hire someone to head up the chapters in Montana and North Dakota. I showed the post to my wife, and she said, “Honey, you have to apply for that job. You’ve always wanted to work in the hunting industry.”

Why Marshall Johnson Hunts Mule Deer

For the last 6 years, Mossy Oak Pro Marshall Johnson of Billings, Montana, has been the regional director of the Mule Deer Foundation for Montana and North Dakota. He primarily hunts in Montana and North Dakota. But Johnson is not a one-trick pony. Besides mule deer, he also hunts whitetails, elk, antelopes, turkeys, pheasants, grouse and partridge. “If I ever draw a tag, I’ll hunt mountain goats, big horns, buffaloes and moose,” Johnson says.

30 Years of Mossy Oak: Will Primos

In 1986, Bill called and told me, “I have a friend named Toxey Haas, and I'm going to help him with his camouflage company.” At that time, I was dying my own camo, because the only camo you could buy back then was military camo. Bill brought some Mossy Oak Bottomland camo with him. We took the camo and hung it on a pine tree and a water oak tree. When I looked at the

Wendy Lacoss-Drake’s First Bull Elk with a Bow

We were hunting near Lima, Montana. We had stayed at a friend’s house the night before our hunt. We went out early the next morning and set up our wall tent.

Wendy Lacoss-Drake Takes Her First Bow Elk

I’d been hunting elk for 4 years with my bow. I had decided that I wanted to take an elk with my bow. Taking an elk with a gun never crossed my mind. I didn’t mind seeing elk that I could have taken with a gun. But for me, the challenge was to take an elk the way I wanted to take him – with my bow.

“There's a big white-tailed buck out in the field in front of the cabin, so take my Himalaya and go shoot him,” Ken told me. I took his Himalaya, propped up against one of the posts on the cabin and made the shot. The buck walked about 40 yards and fell over.

Non-Aggressive Rattling Draws Bucks Before the Rut

Many whitetail hunters neglect to bring their antlers or rattle-bag into the woods until just before the rut. Rattling works earlier in the season too; however, bucks react for a different reason than the “testosterone filled triggers” that may draw their response later on.

My First Whitetail Buck Deer with Wendy Lacoss-Drake

Many people from the East never consider Montana as a great state to hunt whitetails. I think that’s one of the reasons we have so many nice-sized whitetails in Montana. When you buy a deer tag in Montana, you can buy either a whitetail or a mule deer tag. Most people who come from the East opt for a mule deer tag.

30 Years of Mossy Oak: Gary Roberson

Menard County is known as the turkey hunting capital of Texas. A fellow by the name of Bruce Brady from Brookhaven, Mississippi, an outdoor writer, started hunting here in the mid 1980s around the time Mossy Oak got started in 1986. At that time, I never had heard of the Mossy Oak, but I wasn’t alone because no one else had either. Because he was from Brookhaven, he knew Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland.
