With Mossy Oak We Were Invisible 10 Yards from a Bull Elk with Rick Kreuter

For some reason, luck just didn’t seem to be on our side. On the last day of Julie’s hunt, we went back to the spot where we had heard a lot of bulls bugling and had seen several herd bulls. There were two big herds of elk in the drainage we were hunting, and we’d been trying to pull one of these big mature herd bulls away from his herd. Once we reached the spot

The Never-Ending Hunt for the Monster Muley with Rick Kreuter

I quickly put my pack on a downed log and got in the prone position. When I looked through my scope, I couldn’t see anything, because the scope was full of snow. I cleaned my scope as quickly as I could, then got back down and got ready for the shot. Through my riflescope, I aimed between the deer’s hindquarter and his last rib.

Ten Tips from Food Plot Experts

Many novice land managers will have food plot failures this year. Next year, they’ll go out and plant the same thing, the same way and expect it to work. I’m sorry, but there are no “magic beans!” Yes, Mother Nature has a lot to do with food plot success, but “know-how” is the unambiguous solution when it comes to planting seeds.

Young Velvet Taking Shape

During the month of July antler growth accelerates enough so you can start to recognize individual bucks, learn which bucks made it from last year and you can really begin to see the distinct differences. This means you can now start to gather solid information and put it to use in a management plan and developing an ambush strategy for a specific buck. So, what's the best way to do that?

Spawning Benches for Bass

Fish managers often debate about what are some of the things we can do to help encourage spawning in bass species. Creating the right type of habitat is important and in northern states, fish managers sometimes use spawning benches to promote the reproduction of smallmouth bass. While largemouth bass, rock bass, and sometimes bluegill also use spawning benches, it is the spawning of smallmouth bass that inspired the design.

Julie’s Long Stalk for a Utah Velvet Antlered Muley with ProStaffer Rick Kreuter

When the bucks stood-up, they didn’t offer any shots. We watched them walk and then trot away, going from 10 to 200 yards without giving Julie a shot. Finally the bucks stopped at some cedar trees. Two of the three bucks bedded-down in the shade where we could watch them. The biggest buck remained standing in the sun.

Julie’s Birthday Brown Bear with ProStaffer Rick Kreuter

When we were about 400-yards out, glassing the bear from the boat, we spotted an eddy where the wind was swirling in front of the boat. For no reason at all, the wind turned 180 degrees and was now hitting us in the face, giving us the perfect wind to stalk the bear. We decided Julie was getting more and more birthday presents as this hunt went along.

More teal in early-season bag, higher possession limit encourage hunters

This fall, early-teal-season hunters may have an opportunity to bag more teal. Additionally, if the Department of Interior finalizes the waterfowl harvest regulations as initially proposed, the possession limit would increase. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed a six-teal bag limit for early teal season and a possession limit for all seasons equivalent to three daily bag limits.
