Rena Parsons’ First Bull Elk

My wife Rena started shooting a bow in 2008, the year we both started archery hunting. She and I passed on a lot of bulls, so we went out with our rifles on the first day of rifle season. I spotted a bull I was going to take. But before I got set up to take the shot, some other hunters came in and spooked the bull. We talked for awhile about how upset we

Deer Food Plot Tips: Creating Visual Barriers

Have you ever had a really nice food plot that the deer just didn’t seem to use that much, especially during the daylight? One really easy way to encourage whitetails to use a food source is making them feel safe by planting a food plot screen like BioLogic Blind Spot. The older age class of both bucks and does can be really shy of big, open fields or food plots that are void of close

Chad Parsons’ Biggest Bull Elk

In 2016, I took my biggest bull elk to date. He was a nice 6x6, scored 303 inches and made the Pope and Young record book. I had drawn a tag for a limited entry area that was known to have trophy bulls in it. We had hunted this region the year before, and I had taken a 5x6 there.

Chad Parsons’ First Bull Elk with a Bow

I’d discovered a spot where three trails came together out of an old clear cut. As I sat in my tree stand, I saw two huge mule deer bucks moving out of the clear cut. But as they came closer, I realized that they weren’t mule deer bucks but elk.

Chad Parsons’ First Elk Ever

I had been hunting elk for three years unsuccessfully. I was really getting frustrated about not being able to close the deal. So, I went on a rifle hunt in an area that had a lot of hunting pressure. We got on top of a high peak and watched a herd of elk about 1-1/2 miles away from where we were. While we were watching the elk, we noticed other hunters moving in on the

The Antelope with the Heart-Shaped Horns

Only two years ago, I took my first archery buck. We were hunting a walk-in area that’s private land but is open to the public to hunt. This was a tiny piece of land between a highway and some railroad tracks that most hunters wouldn’t even try to hunt. So that spot always had highway noise and often train noise.

Rena Parsons’ First Archery Antelope

Chad was with me in a blind, and we had set up over a waterhole on public land that was a Hunter Management Area (HMA). There were three waterholes on this property. But from our scouting, we had learned that most hunters set up on the first two waterholes because they were the closest. The third water hole was farther back and required more walking. So we went to that one because nobody ever hunted

Rena Parsons Loves Hunting Antelope

I'm often asked why I love antelope hunting so much. I guess it’s because when we go antelope hunting, we see a lot of game. Antelope hunting isn’t like hunting elk or deer. To hunt deer or elk, you may have to do a lot of hiking and scouting before you see a critter. When we go out antelope hunting, we just drive out on the prairie. When we spot a herd of antelope, we

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
