Eva Shockey’s First Bowfishing Shot Took Her First Fish

I've shot a compound bow most of my life, and I’ve learned I still can shoot my compound bow and/or recurve bow to take fish. One of the aspects of bowfishing that’s really different is that you have to snap shoot and shoot instinctively. As soon as you see the fish underwater, you have to draw and shoot. So, I had to learn to shoot instinctively.

How a Turkey Hunt Is Supposed to Happen But Doesn’t

So the moral of the story is: when you go turkey hunting, you never know what the turkey will do, even though you think you do. You never know what your turkey hunting partner will do, although you think you do. Also, you never really know what you’ll do, even though you think you do.

Tips for Taking Kids Hunting

I have been very fortunate to get to take many young hunters to the field. It is a very rewarding experience, but it requires a whole other level of preparation and patience. Their attention span, patience and tolerances of weather can be very different from that of an experienced hunter. Here are a few things to keep in mind when taking kids afield.

However, I’ve realized that the most-important thing I know about turkeys is that they teach me something different every day that I hunt them. They can’t read, they can’t watch television, and therefore they don’t know what they're supposed to do. One of the biggest mistakes that most veteran turkey hunters make is

3 Reasons You Should Be Planting Brassicas

It’s common knowledge among food plotters that Brassicas such as radish, rape, and turnips make for attractive deer food plots.

Bob Walker on What He Knows That Turkeys Don’t Know

I've watched hundreds of hunters miss turkeys. When the turkeys hear that big explosion and see pellets whizzing past their heads, they know the time has come to leave and to leave quickly. Those turkeys understand that. But I don’t think turkeys realize they’ve been able to escape, because the hunter hasn’t had his cheek up against the stock before he pulls the trigger.

What to Know About Auctions

In the world of buying and selling land, auctions stand out as a quick way to transfer property from one owner to the next. When listing property on the market it can take months or even years to come to some sort of concrete agreement regarding the exact details of the sale.

The reason we decided to build kennels and move into sporting-dog training is because everyone here at Mossy Oak loves dogs.
