Identifying Mast Producing Trees

While every tree in the woods serves a purpose in some way, there are some trees that bear a greater importance and should remain in your woodlands to provide ever-important mast. Oak trees of all varieties and other mast producers should be identified and pampered. When oaks reach their potential, their canopies produce tons of needed mast.

Calling Elk Successfully with Ralph Ramos

I think before anyone goes elk hunting, they need to know all the sounds that elk make, learn how to give those sounds and understand what those sounds mean. Elk are very vocal creatures, and I’m convinced you need to know what they’re saying with each sound they make to have success hunting them. Also, you need to learn how to use your calls to imitate what you’re trying to say to them. Often elk

Because in the backcountry, being able to give the effort to reach the glassing point is the reward. And while I didn’t find success in harvesting an elk, I can say with certainty that I was hunting for an adventure, and I have no doubt that I found that.

How To Lighten Your Load

I’ve heard of sheep hunters cutting the tags off their clothing to save weight. That’s a bit extreme in my opinion, but there’s no doubt that being ounce-stingy when backpacking or mountain hunting pays dividends.

Hypoxia in High Elk Country

You need to be aware of the dangers of hunting high in elk country. Altitude might not bother a hunter on nine trips, and on the tenth – for no apparent reason – it can come crashing in like Hurricane Katrina. I’ve dealt with mild altitude sickness and splitting headaches in the past. But last week, in Colorado, I had my first real brush with hypoxia.

Fish Year-Round by Flippin’

I’ve caught a lot of fish, a lot of different ways, and in a lot of different conditions. However, one of my favorite ways to catch bigger bass is to flip Texas-rigged baits into heavy cover. Flippin’ is a method that can be fished year round and is effective all around the country. When I’m out on a lake, I constantly look for the thickest, nastiest cover, because that’s where some of the bigger fish

3 Reasons to Plant Trees in the Fall

It’s now possible to plant trees with success any time of the year. Generally speaking, the traditional planting time for folks in the South is February through mid-March, and folks up North have to wait for the ground to thaw in the spring. These still remain safe and reliable tree planting times. However, with the advent of containerized, air-pruned seedlings, such as those from Nativ Nurseries, seedlings don’t have to be dormant to be planted.
