Indian Butter Wild Turkey Recipe

Some hunters find wild turkey challenging to cook. It is lean and can dry out quickly. Cut your cooking time compared to domestic fowl to prevent it from drying out, especially breast meat. Using sauce and marinade will also help keep the meat moist and tender. This is a classic Indian dish usually found as Butter Chicken. It is rich in flavor, and although there are lots of ingredients, the outcome is worth the effort.

A Guided Turkey Hunt for Easterns in Ohio

Turkey hunting in various parts of the country can be somewhat of a hassle if you don’t know someone or haven’t hunted with someone who lives in that region.

Rio Grande Turkeys in California

I believe the Rios out here are easier to take than eastern gobblers are on the other side of the country. Rios don’t have as much hunting pressure, haven’t been hunted as long as easterns have and aren’t as likely to embarrass you as the birds back east may. Rios put on a good show, and you can watch them walk up almost to the end of your gun barrel. If you’ve been hunting some

Preseason Turkey Tactics

As hunters, we strive to have fun and be successful while in the field. To some that may be as simple as being in God’s Great Outdoors and having fun doing what they love. To others it is more about outsmarting an animal and beating it at its own game by knowing what move they are going to make next. Webster’s Dictionary defines success as a favorable or desired outcome. Over the years, I have

Hunting Merriam’s Turkeys in Wyoming

The male Merriam’s turkey is one of the prettiest turkeys we hunt with white feathers on his back and white tips on his tail feathers. These characteristics make the Merriam’s relatively easy to spot from a long way off. Calling the Merriam’s turkey is no different than calling any of the other species of wild turkeys. But the terrain where we hunt Merriam’s is much different than where we hunt turkeys in the East. In

Hunting Gould’s Wild Turkeys in Mexico

The Gould’s area we hunt in Mexico is about four hours from the airport in the Sierra Madre Mountains. We pick up our hunters at the airport, help them come through customs and load up their gear to head for the ranch. We do a 4-day hunt, including food, lodging and a turkey guide. Most of our clients want to take two Gould’s turkeys during that 4-day hunt.

Ott DeFoe Keeps Bass Fishing Simple

I think another reason I've been successful is that I attempt to keep bass fishing simple. I try not to think about tomorrow until tomorrow gets here. I don’t think about yesterday, because that day already has passed, and I can’t do anything about it. When I'm fishing, I only think about the next bass I'm hoping to catch. After I catch that bass and put it in the boat, I generally don’t think about

Plenty of Places to Hunt Predators

When I include the public game lands and the private farms where I have permission to predator hunt, I probably have between 100,000 and 150,000 acres where I can hunt predators. On public lands, hunters can take coyotes 365 days per year in Pennsylvania. We can’t use thermal or night vision here for predator hunting, but we can use hand-held and/or portable lights at night. To hunt coyotes, you just need a general hunting license.

Removing Predators, Increasing Deer and Turkeys

I don’t find many landowners who understand how many turkeys and deer fawns they can save by predator hunting on their properties. Here in Pennsylvania, we’re working hard to get our buck-to-doe ratio at a more balanced level. Our does usually start dropping fawns in April, and sometimes when we’ve been out mowing fields in July, we’ll jump up fairly young fawns then. So that tells us that the does in our region are dropping

Predator Hunting is Enjoyable and Beneficial

I enjoy hunting predators, but I also know its benefits for increasing the amount of wildlife on properties. I do most of my predator hunting on public lands. Up until five or six years ago, I was about the only one around my area who hunted public lands for predators. But then central Pennsylvania started conducting a large predator hunt for money, and today during that time, you can hardly go into the woods without

Bass Fishing was a Need for Gerald Swindle

I would steal gas out of my Dad’s lawnmower and even siphon gas out of my Mom’s car to have enough gas for my outboard motor. That’s how badly I wanted to go bass fishing when I was in high school. I wasn’t proud of what I did, but I didn’t have much money. As far as I was concerned, bass fishing wasn’t a want but a need.

Increasing Vegetation Through Prescribed Burns

We’ve had huge success with using fire to improve our game lands. We have one game land just outside of Philipsburg that we started burning sections on that property about 3-4 years ago. This year, one of our local hunters took a buck off that land that’s main beams were 24 inches wide and was an absolute monster buck to come off of public lands. That game land consists of about 9,000 acres. We usually
