Choosing a New Bow

For a bowhunter many questions have to be answered when choosing new equipment, especially for a first-timer. Your bow will obviously be the most important tool and unless you know exactly what you’re doing, it’s best that you go to an archery pro shop where you can receive the proper assistance. A bow is an instrument that needs to be fit to the individual and matched to the job you’re asking it to do.

Fight Target Panic with Your Bow and Take Meat Deer

The first deer I took with my bow was in 2001. Then I tried to shoot target archery and 3D target competitions, but I couldn’t do very well at those sports, because I got target panic. I couldn’t hit where I tried to aim. I sure didn’t want to shoot a deer and not make a good clean shot. So, I decided I wouldn’t hunt with my bow until I solved the problem of target

Take South Carolina Deer in the Heat

Just because the southern part of the state has an August 15 opening date for deer season and a very liberal bag limit, hunting in southern South Carolina is not easy. During the early season, the air temperature is almost hot enough to boil eggs in a puddle. Temperatures usually will range between 80 and 100 degrees plus. However, due to the high humidity in that section of the state, the temperature feels like it’s

Hunt Deer on Clemson University Property

I primarily hunt private land, but this year I plan to hunt public land owned by Clemson University, because it’s only 15 minutes from my house. Clemson University has a tremendous amount of public property that is designated just for bowhunting and has an antler restriction on bucks. To harvest a buck on these public lands, the buck has to have 4 points on one side or the inside spread of the main beams has

30 Years of Mossy Oak: David Hale

Turkey hunting was really in its infancy in the 1980s. Then the sport of turkey hunting exploded nationwide, and Knight & Hale Game Calls and Mossy Oak camo were right in the middle of that turkey hunting revival. I saw the future of Mossy Oak growing during those early days, and I don’t see that growth of Mossy Oak stopping anywhere in the future.

David Hale Says Bet on the Water for Hot Weather Bucks

In the early season when the weather is stinking hot, deer must have water and have it more often in the early season than they do in the late season. Therefore, I always scout water sources during the early season and look for deer trails coming into and going away from the water.

David Hale and His Early Season Blackpowder Kansas Buck

Back in the old days before trail cameras ever were invented and long before they were popular to use to find and take deer, Harold and I would use the old school tactic of going into the woods early looking for deer sign and use our best-guess tactics to try and figure out where and when a buck would appear. The other strategy that we employed was field scouting.

David Hale: How, Why And When He Decides To Take an Opening Day Buck

If I find a really outstanding buck that I want to take, I’ll hunt him that first week of September when deer season arrives in Kentucky. But if my trail camera reveals that I only have mediocre-size bucks on the land I hunt, I’ll often wait until the second week of September when most of the bucks will be out of the velvet to hunt. But I have taken a number of opening-day bucks over

David Hale on Hot Weather Deer Hunting

70-year-old David Hale and 72-year-old Harold Knight formed Knight & Hale Game Calls in 1972. Before then they helped release some of the first wild turkeys reintroduced to the state of Kentucky. When David Hale first started hunting turkeys, he never had seen or heard of a turkey call. He hunted turkeys like he would hunt a deer. Because Hale was a superb woodsman, he would spend time learning the movement patterns of the few

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
