Finding Public Land Ducks with Mossy Oak Pro Richie McKnight

On public lands, we don’t get out on the water to hunt until about 9 or 10 a.m. Like most public land hunters, we scout the waterways in our boats to see where the ducks are holding. However, more than likely all the other serious duck hunters have scouted the same waterways and found the same ducks that we’ve located. Most typical duck hunters will get out and set up before daylight and either have

Learn How to Find Big Bucks

When hunting trophy bucks becomes your profession as well as your recreation, you have to put in about as many hours, or more, than you do with a 9-5 job. I start shed hunting as soon as deer drop their antlers where I plan to hunt in the upcoming season.

Know Secrets for Taking Big Bucks on Public Lands

I took the biggest white-tailed buck I’d ever harvested last year (2015) off one of my public land honey holes. I shot the buck with a TenPoint crossbow, and he scored 195-6/8. I found that buck about 3 miles from the closest access road to this public land. Every day I hunted him I’d hike in 3 miles and out 3 miles. I named this buck Blackie. His antlers were only one shade lighter than

Robbins Scouts in the Summer for Fall Bucks

I try to find really big bucks during the summer months, and once I locate an older-age-class buck, whether he’s a mule deer or a whitetail, I want to spend as much time as I can learning where he lives, what he eats, and where he moves. I’m a husband, a father and a cattle rancher, but every morning before and just at daylight, I spend my time finding and observing big deer. I also

What Advice Gene Wensel Has for Hunters about Taking Big Bucks

Realize that you won’t take an older-age-class buck if you're not hunting land where one lives or passes through. Most hunters spend more time hunting than they do scouting, but the first step to taking a big buck is to find that big buck first. Then gain permission to hunt on or lease the property where that big buck lives. The easiest and the best time to find a big buck is long before the

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
