Mike Magrew Takes a Bear Almost Too Big to Carry

When I don’t draw a special tag to hunt in Colorado, I buy over-the-counter tags. A few seasons ago I went to Colorado with an elk archery tag and black bear archery tag. On the opening day of archery season, I decided to hunt a drainage I had hunted before where I knew there were big bears and big bull elk. In the bottom of the drainage were plenty of berries and thick-cover areas where

Give This Year’s Fawns a Head Start

A good beginning to a fawn’s life is important. Most don’t realize that if you had two buck fawns born with equal genetic traits, but one buck fawn starts life in good standing with ample nutrition and low stress, and one doesn’t, as an adult the buck that began life well off will always have the potential for a better set of antlers - even if they eventually live on the same property! A good

Mike Magrew on the Climb for a Trophy Muley

When I went to Colorado in 2014, I had a mule deer archery tag and an elk archery tag. I had planned to hunt mule deer first, because I knew that the elk probably wouldn’t start bugling until later in my hunt. For 2 weeks I hunted hard, covered a lot of ground and only saw one spike mule deer buck but plenty of does. Since I had hunted this place before, I knew there

Mike Magrew on Hunting Elk, Bears and Whitetail Deer

In 2014, I went out West to hunt in Colorado. I had an elk and a mule deer archery tag in my pocket. I was hunting about an hour west of Colorado Springs on a draw unit. A friend of mine told me there were some really nice elk and good mule deer in this area where I'd hunted previously. I'd taken a black bear off this unit before. I went out 4 or 5

Exciting Hunting When the Snows Come Down This February and March

The best snow goose hunting is in the northwestern part of Tennessee in the Reelfoot area, or we can go across the Mississippi River and hunt in northeast Arkansas, where the snow goose season is February 2 through April 25, 2015. I have several friends and Mossy Oak ProStaff members who live in Arkansas, so I often go there to hunt snow geese with them. To have a successful snow goose hunt requires a lot

Are auctions the best way to sell land?

No two land owners are exactly the same, so it only makes sense that every sales technique will not work for everybody. Different goals and circumstances will influence how best to sell your land, and one option you'll come across is auctioning. An auction may be the best bet for selling your property.

What about Hunting Geese?

Our flyway goose season is set-up to run concurrent with our duck season and usually ends the around the 24th of January. Most of the Canada geese we have in Kentucky are resident geese. For the most part, the Canada goose migration rarely comes any further south than the middle of Illinois. For us to get any geese in Tennessee, the weather has to be really cold.

Kentucky Lake and Reelfoot Lake Have Ducks Aplenty

The big water that I hunt is Kentucky Lake, and I like hunting a 400-acre soybean field there that floods during duck season. To hunt the bean field, we use a cotton trailer as a blind. The cotton trailer is a big, open trailer that cotton is dumped into that takes cotton from the field to the cotton gins. We have our cotton trailer blind parked right alongside a river that’s one of the major

The Quest for Fruit

Fruit trees need continuous care if they’re going to remain productive. So many people have fruit trees on their property that have grown out of control. These people usually don’t understand the amazing tonnage a few fruit trees can actually provide. Many people think that pruning is cosmetic, but when it comes to fruit trees, proper pruning is essential for the best yield and now is prime time to prune.

Hunting Waterfowl on the Mississippi Flyway

The early season on the Mississippi flyway in 2014 was really good for waterfowling. We had some cold weather right before Thanksgiving that brought a large number of ducks down for the opening week of waterfowl season. Quite a few hunters reported taking limits of ducks on opening weekend, but after Thanksgiving the weather stabilized, and our area has had a fairly warm winter.

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
