Gameburger Helper

As a kid, I remember running down the boxed food aisle at the grocery store and begging my mom for a box of Hamburger Helper™. There was something about helping mom brown the meat, opening the box and dumping everything in a pot for my meal. I’m not going to lie; I still crave this boxed meal on cold nights when I want an easy, tasty meal. So here is my copycat version of that

How To Successfully Hunt Your Property

I’ve been asked how I kept that 6-1/2-year-old buck on my land for that amount of time to grow. To start with, we don’t overpressure our deer, and we only hunt when the odds are the most in our favor to take the buck we want to harvest. Another secret is that we do everything we can to prevent deer from knowing that we’re hunting them, including the approach we take to and from the

When Old Ducks Become New Ducks

Barnie Calef | Mossy Oak ProStaff I’m often asked, “At the end of the season, when a severe cold front is coming in that moves the old ducks out of your area and brings new ducks into the place you're hunting, how do you take those new ducks?” As an example, 520,000 stale ducks are sitting on the Missouri River 120 miles from my hunting camp. Because those ducks are so close to us, if

Temperature Helps Determine Decoy Set-Ups

Some hunters will set their decoys really close together when the weather is hot. That’s a mistake. Other hunters will set their decoys too far apart from each other when the weather is very cold. That's also a mistake.

Tips for Late Season Duck Hunting Decoy Spreads

When I'm hunting stale ducks during the late season, I use two types of decoy spreads. I’ll put out smaller decoy spreads in a really secluded area and perhaps only two dozen decoys in a pothole. The water may be so shallow in these little potholes that we may not be able to get our boat blind in to them. We may have to wade into them, which is nothing new for many duck hunters.

Understanding and Controlling Coyotes

Coyotes are generally given a bad rap by gamekeepers and hunters, and for good reason. These skilled predators will eat just about anything, including deer (especially fawns) turkeys (including eggs and poults), rabbits and other small game. Their omnivorous diet includes rodents, birds, insect's, snakes, fish, frogs, crustaceans, fruits, vegetables, grass, trash, pet food and carrion. Pet owners and ranchers consider them destructive pests that will kill pets, calves, lambs, poultry or other livestock.
