Straight from the Horse’s Mouth with Mossy Oak Pro Staffer of the Year Bill Lewis

I joined the Mossy Oak Pro Staff in the early 2000s before Tim Anderson came on board and created the new Mossy Oak Pro Staff, and I've been working with Mossy Oak ever since then. I do everything I can to help carry the message of Mossy Oak to people who hunt, fish and hike in the outdoors, but also to people who want to know more about the outdoors and outdoor sports. I volunteer

Mossy Oak Regional Manager D.J. Randolph Explains His Nomination of Bill Lewis

One of the main reasons that I nominated Bill Lewis of Omaha, Nebraska, for the 2016 Mossy Oak ProStaffer of the Year award is because he attends, speaks and represents Mossy Oak at many more events than we ask our Mossy Oak pros to attend. Bill is not someone who tries to do the least amount of work that he can to stay on the ProStaff. Bill goes above and beyond what’s expected of a

With only a few weeks left in the deer season, it is a good time to start thinking about what can be done to improve your property, lease, or hunting club during the late winter.

How to Set Up Your Decoy Spread and Get to Duck Hot Spots Before Other Hunters

Our decoy spreads are different in most of the holes we hunt. We know that ducks don’t like to fly over decoys or other ducks before they land. So, if we have a north wind in our face, we don’t put any ducks on the south side of where we’re hunting. If we have a north wind, we’ll concentrate most of our decoys on the north side of our duck hole. Later in the year,

What To Do When Hunters You Don’t Know Move Into the Spot You're Hunting

When hunting public lands, a common occurrence is to have other hunters come into the area where you're hunting and want to hunt there, because they can tell by all the shooting that they hear that you’ve found the ducks. I've found that the best approach to take when this happens is to kill the other hunters with kindness, and be extremely cordial to them.

How to Know Places to Avoid and Where to Hunt on Public Lands

My friends often ask me, “Brooks, when I want to hunt on public waterfowl areas, what do I need to look for there?” I explain, “Search for balls of feathers and shotgun shells. If you see them on the place you think you want to hunt, don’t hunt there. More than likely, someone has shot ducks from that spot the day or two before you’ve arrived. But when you see a spot that has individual

How to Dodge Hunting Pressure on Public Land Waterfowling Areas

One of the reasons we spend more time duck hunting in Arkansas than we do duck hunting in Mississippi is that we’ve found fewer and fewer places in Mississippi where we can dodge hunting pressure. We've discovered that if we can walk into an area rather than going to it by boat, our opportunities are much greater for dodging hunter pressure than if we use a boat to reach the places we want to hunt.
