Shoot That Buck!

The flash of white antlers brought me to full attention. The buck was less than sixty yards away and slowly making his way through the cane thicket towards my stand. I recognized him with the first clear look through my binoculars. This buck was on our “shoot list.” This was the first daylight look at this beautiful east-central Alabama buck. Looking through my Nikons it took only a few seconds to make a decision, I

Go Farther, Stay Longer and Hunt Harder

Because of the internet and the different hunting forms, learning about public-land hunting now is much easier than it was in the past. We have better equipment today than ever before, and since the equipment is so light, we can get farther back in the wilderness with less effort. Most people don’t like to hunt public lands due to the high hunting pressure. However, there’s a new world for the hunter out there in the

Given the growing interest in Quality Deer Management (QDM) it’s not surprising that more and more hunters are talking with their neighbors and establishing QDM Cooperatives. A QDM Cooperative is a group of landowners and hunters working together to improve the quality of the deer herd and hunting experiences on their collective acreage. Cooperatives vary in size, number of participants, and structure depending on the needs and objectives of members. A primary benefit of cooperatives

Cuz and Lauran Strickland Celebrate High School Graduation on a South Dakota Turkey Hunt

I took my youngest daughter, Lauran, to South Dakota, to try and take a Merriam’s turkey, for her senior trip after graduation from high school. One of the things I like about South Dakota is the ground is flat. Where we were hunting had very little vegetation, and we could see the turkeys at great distances.

Redneck T-Post Gravity Feeder

When I first saw this feeder, I had so many applications in mind that would allow me to scout many different locations even if they were wet. The T-Post feeder is lightweight and easy to set up. It is a one-person only job. The concave back and grooves on the back of the T-Post feeder are made for ratchet straps to mount to a tree. I was able to set it up out of the

Rubbed the Right Way

The best hunters will use trail-cam photos in correlation with what they learn from reading physical sign – and rubs are one of the best forms of tangible sign we have to help put you close to a mature buck. They divulge to you more than other forms of sign, and when used in union with other markers they can help to make you deadly.

The Water Buck: Cuz Makes a Promise to Toxey

As long as I have lived, that video has been the most-embarrassing thing I ever have done. When we put the video together, Toxey reminded me, “We want to tell the whole story.” I knew he was right. I can honestly say that was the coolest hunt ever for me.

1000 Yards with a Ballistic Savant

Zach, 31, is a walking ballistic calculator, an outstanding elk guide, and arguably the nicest person you’ll ever cross paths with. He and a friend shoot pie plate groups at 200 yards with an open-site, factory .22LR loaded with junk ammo. Freehand. Having shot some of their builds, I knew that whatever was in the green case in the back of Thom’s rig would be a dandy. But I wasn’t entirely prepared for what they

Cuz Turkey Hunts with the Rock – Ryan Welch

The most-memorable turkey hunt that comes to mind first is a hunt I went on with the “Catch a Dream Foundation,” and a young man named Ryan Welch. “Catch a Dream” is an organization that takes seriously-ill children on whatever type of event the child wants to attend in the outdoors. Ryan’s dream was to go on a turkey hunt with either me or Will Primos. Ryan had a brain tumor and had quite a

Finally, he slammed his fist down on the table, after we had been arguing. He said the words that have helped to guide my career.

Dave Parrott Explains How to Bring Deer into Your Trail Cameras

I did some research using my homemade attractant and cover spray. I learned that if I put corn out in front of my camera, a buck would stay in front of the camera about 3 minutes and then leave. When I used my spray, as I recommended and put it on everything, the bucks would stay in front of my camera for 8 to 10 minutes.
