Bob Walker on What He Knows That Turkeys Don’t Know

I've watched hundreds of hunters miss turkeys. When the turkeys hear that big explosion and see pellets whizzing past their heads, they know the time has come to leave and to leave quickly. Those turkeys understand that. But I don’t think turkeys realize they’ve been able to escape, because the hunter hasn’t had his cheek up against the stock before he pulls the trigger.

What to Know About Auctions

In the world of buying and selling land, auctions stand out as a quick way to transfer property from one owner to the next. When listing property on the market it can take months or even years to come to some sort of concrete agreement regarding the exact details of the sale.

Toxey Haas on Break-Up Country, Properties and GameKeeper Kennels

The reason we decided to build kennels and move into sporting-dog training is because everyone here at Mossy Oak loves dogs. We love to hunt with dogs, and we love to have dogs as pets and hunting companions. Once the hunting community sees and hunts with the dogs Mossy Oak breeds and trains, I feel that many people will begin to understand why the sporting-dog business fits into the overall concept of Mossy Oak.

Understanding Government Programs

Government easement programs are designed to take land out of production for a greater purpose. The U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates this process and rewards landowners who choose to participate in easement programs. Two types of easements in particular, the Conservation Reserve Program and the Wetlands Reserve Program, have made a great impact on the protection and preservation of vital land. Instead of using certain land for private profit or use, such as row crop

Brian Hicks Hunts for the Bucks That Most Public Land Hunters Never See

In the fall, before the season begins, usually in September or October, I’ll plant oats, clover, chicory and Mossy Oak BioLogic. Before that, during the spring and fall, I’ll spend a lot of time checking my trail cameras and watching the bucks’ antlers grow. I want to try to stay in contact with the mature bucks I’ve found and the sheds I’ve located after the season.
