What to Do When the Gobbler Knows More about You Than You Know about Him

I was fortunate to grow up in Pennsylvania, when we didn’t have many turkeys to hunt. I learned that if I found a turkey that gobbled in the spring, and he was away from other hunters, he might be the only gobbler I had to hunt all spring. However, today, turkey hunters can cover a lot of country and have several turkeys to hunt in one morning. I’ve often been asked, “Matt, what do you

DIY Coyote Calling

< Paying attention to a few details, along with a little practice on some calls can make any predator hunter enjoy this action-packed style of predator hunting for years to come. To me it brings out that personal satisfaction of “I called that coyote in," not some recording blasting out of a speaker. So, get out and try hand and mouth calling coyotes.

Matt Morrett Explains What Calls to Use to Call in a Wild Turkey Gobbler

In seminars, at shows and whenever I meet the public, I’m often asked, “Matt, why do you take other calls with you when you hunt turkeys? You’ve won the World Turkey Calling Contest five times with a friction call.” Well, I don’t care how well a person calls. Each turkey call makes a little different sound. On any given morning, a gobbler only may gobble to one type of turkey call. Just like you won’t

Food Plot Boost on a Budget

Much of the country has experienced a late spring this year with temperatures that stayed below normal well into April. These below average temperatures can delay planting times and keep perennial plots from jumping back out of the ground quite as aggressively.

How to Find Late Season Public Land Gobblers

The more you know about the average public-land turkey hunter, the better your odds are for bagging a gobbler on public lands. The average public-land turkey hunter is willing to get up before daylight, possibly for the first 2 weeks of turkey season, however, after that, whether he’s bagged a bird or not, he’s had enough of that getting up before daylight.

Why Jon and Farrah Lester Started Never Quit

My wife, Farrah, and I felt we needed to get involved with our community and wanted to give back to the community and the people who have meant so much to us. Not only did we want to give back to the Boston community, we also wanted to give back to the doctors, nurses, researchers, adults, children and their families who were fighting cancer every day, in the communities where the Boston Red Sox play

Duluth Pack Canvas Dog Bed

Who would have thought this much attention to detail needed to go into a dog bed? Well Duluth Pack did, and it shows in the quality of the beds they make. What I have been impressed with is the quality down to the sewing and material. Additionally,the double zippers are built and incorporated into the dog bed by hand, resulting in a dog bed that frankly can take some wear and tear from large active

Predator Populations Swell

Coyote hunting has its share of controversy. Some view these animals as furry and cuddly, while many see them as snarling, vicious carnivores. A number of influences have caused coyote densities to change significantly over the years. While numbers have been impacted, some of the old hunting methods used by the early settlers are still the best tactics.

Jon Lester of the Boston Red Sox Loves To Practice Throwing a Baseball and Shooting His Bow

I like the fact that I have to practice with my bow and hone my archery skills, if I’m going to be successful, just like I do in baseball, by practicing throwing strikes and a variety of pitches, hoping the batter won’t hit them. I have to practice and practice and practice. I like practicing. I like improving my ability to perform the very best I can on game day. Bowhunting requires that same kind

Jon Lester: Hunting Is Far More Than Harvesting Animals

I was talking with Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland of Mossy Oak once, and we discussed the fact that most people, who don’t hunt, don’t really understand that hunting is much much more than harvesting animals. Obviously, we are all hunters, and we want to have a positive result from our hunting efforts. But now that I’m a landowner and land manager, I want to see the fruits of my labor every season. I want to see
