First Time Hunting Stories are the Best Hunting Stories

First deer stories are never forgotten, even the minor details cling to you through the years. And while I know this will be a deer hunting story that Reed will never forget, I wonder if he realizes that it will also be one that I never forget. Being a part of it reminded me not to take these experiences for granted. It brought back memories and feelings of a November 21 years earlier when I

Property Lines and Borders are an Integral Part of Management

Trespassing is a major problem that can impact the value of your property, can limit your enjoyment of your place and can even pose a threat to the safety of those who hunt and use your land. While the majority of the cases of trespassing are intentional and malicious, some do occur because the property lines were not properly established via marking paint, posted signs or fences.

Opening Day Duck Hunting on the Mississippi Flyway

I hunt just off the Mississippi River on private land. On Thanksgiving weekend, 2017, we saw mallard, ring-necked duck, teal, gadwall and pintail ducks. We spotted over 100 flights of ducks coming down the Mississippi River from the North. We were able to work about 20 different flights each day into our decoys.

Property lines can also double as access roads. On our property, we try to have roads that wrap around the perimeter of our place, with the main reason being these roads can provide the most efficient, low-impact travel routes to enjoy our property.

Hunting Oryx in New Mexico

The trophy oryx hunts, and the broken-horn oryx hunts are offered on the White Sands Missile Range, and those hunts are regulated by the estimated number of oryx there. The hunts are held on different sites inside the missile range, depending on the population numbers in various sections of the range. I think your odds to draw an oryx hunt as a non-resident are very good, but you’ll pay $1,500 to get the tag.

Tips for Late-Season Elk Hunting in New Mexico

The late-season elk tags are much easier to draw than the tags during bugling season, because the largest group of elk hunters want to hunt when the bulls are bugling. If you're interested in taking a cow elk, you just about can draw a cow elk tag every year for the late season in New Mexico.

Late-Season Cow Elk Hunts with Youth and Women

One of the advantages of hunting cows during the late season is they're often much easier to locate than the bulls are, and they’ll usually be in big herds. Early in the morning and late in the evening, they’ll generally be in the lower meadows feeding. Taking a cow elk can not only reduce the cost of buying meat for your family, but it also gives you another reason to be out hunting elk.

Tree Plots Produce Mast and Reduce Conversion

Planting a hardwood tree plot makes a commitment toward a long-term annual mast crop, and creates some peace of mind that game animals seeking hardwood shelter won’t pass over your habitat.

Hunting the Rut for Late Season Elk

An advantage of hunting late-season bulls is that since the peak of the rut usually happens in September, by the late season, very few, if any, elk hunters are still hunting. Because the time change has taken place, dark comes earlier in the late season than it did in the early season.

Keep on the Sunny Side for Late Season Elk Hunting

One of the advantages of hunting late-season bulls is that they usually return to the same places they’ve been in the year before, making them much easier to find. However, the really big bulls, like the herd bulls, often move out to solitary areas away from the other bulls and cows. The bigger bulls generally will hang out on the sunny sides of mountains during the late season.

Proper Steps for Supplemental Winter Feeding

Start your feeding program early in the winter, even better yet, during the fall, when deer are still healthy. Waiting until they are starving before providing supplemental feed can hasten starvation through stress related to sudden diet change.

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
