10 Ways to Prevent Wildfires While Targetshooting This Summer

As the days get longer and the weather gets nicer, more and more shooters will be heading outdoors this summer to practice with their favorite firearms. With summer, however, also comes the increased risk of wildfires. As we saw last year in the western half of the U.S., fires are easily started and readily blamed on firearms use. If you plan to target shoot on public land this season, make sure you understand the regulations

Lions and Tahrs and Buffalo, Oh My!

We finally spotted a tahr that the guide suggested we take. To get to the tahr, we had to make a long hard climb up a big ridge. I took off my pack and laid it on the ground. I found the tahr in my Nikon scope and squeezed the trigger, but the tahr didn’t go down.

WhistleBack for Game Birds

I am very frequently asked what can be planted for turkeys, quail, doves, ducks, etc. Most often hunters and land managers are looking for ways to keep game birds on their property. They want to attract and hold so the birds don’t have to leave their land to find their necessities. Growing

After the Storm

This unexpected storm changed the aesthetic value of the land as well as the habitat we’ve worked on for so long managing for wildlife. For some animals the storm created new habitat but for others, like deer, it dramatically changed their movement through the downed timber. Our main concern was that it would eliminate whitetail utilization all together. Like many landowners we didn’t have a plan to cope with the unpredicted devastation of our hunting

Pat Reeve Says He Shot Nicole’s Red Stag in New Zealand

Neither Nicole nor I had hunted red stag, but we had hunted elk. Elk and stag are somewhat similar. Some friends went with us, and the plan was for Nicole to hunt and take her stag first while I filmed. Then I would try and take a stag. We were hunting in the post-roar, the breeding time for stags. Each morning we got up, climbed to the top of a ridge and glassed for stags

Pat and Nicole Reeve on the Last Stalk for a Dall Sheep

Finally, we got to the top of a ridge and thought the rams should be right below us. I was the fourth person in a parade of hunters going up the mountain, so the three in front of me had loosened all the rocks on the trail. The rocks were breaking loose under my feet. The only thought going through my mind was, “I’m about to die.”

Improve Your Seeding, Improve Your Plot

Many food plot failures can be attributed to a flaw in the planting process. Many times it is seed depth or a lack of good seed to soil contact that results in a poor stand. Using a cultipacker can greatly improve seedling survival by ensuring a more even and consistent seed bed.

The “Crown of Bone”

Summer is here and antler growth is in full swing. We often forget about the nutritional requirements required by whitetail deer during the dog days of summer. June –August is typically one of the most stressful times on whitetail deer due both heat and the increased nutrient demands of antler growth on bucks and lactation on doe. Fawn survival during this time also aligns directly with the nutritional plane available for whitetail doe. The major

Pat Reeve Wasn’t Scared - He Was Terrified on His Dream Dall Sheep Hunt

On our Alaskan Dall sheep hunt after climbing high, we finally had spotted a Dall sheep ram that possibly was a legal shooter. To get to that ram, we had to climb further up a steep mountain over jagged and loose rocks. We came to a waterfall that made the rocky terrain wet and even-more dangerous to climb. Next we encountered a sheer rock face that we couldn’t climb up.

By Terry Madewell, originally published in the 1994 edition of Mossy Oak Bowhunting Magazine As big whitetail bucks are inclined to do, this one had done the unexpected. I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I
