Chris Kirby on How to Bow Hunt Late Season Bucks

Wild apple trees are my favorite food source to hunt over, because apples fall on top of the snow, they're very tasty for the deer to eat, and we can purchase a wide variety of apple trees from the Mossy Oak Nativ Nurseries. Upstate New York has a lot of wild apples for us to hunt over. However, if you live in an area where you don’t have wild apples, check with the folks at

Chris Kirby: Push Deer - Don’t Drive Them

We always maintain a thick cover sanctuary on each of the farms we hunt. These thick cover areas are where we've gotten trail camera pictures of deer or find big tracks leading into thick cover. Every one of our club members has agreed not to go into those sanctuaries except to remove a deer and not to hunt close to these sanctuaries. We have the understanding that we will be able to hunt the sanctuaries

Chris Kirby on Late Season Deer Talk

Deer are vocal all year long. Primarily, I’ll use a Deer Thugs Brawler that I carry with me from the beginning of bow season until the last day of hunting season. In the late season, I'm not going to call aggressively or loudly. I'm just going to give contact calls – low sounding and infrequent - one or two note grunts. Once again remember that just because the main rut is over, does not mean

Get Ahead of the Game

By this time of the year, most everyone’s hunting season is over or starting to wind down and not many guys are thinking about growing plots or feeding their deer. With some cold and nasty weather still possible for the next few weeks, it’s a great time to sit down and start planning for the upcoming growing season. There may be some things you thought of while sitting in your deer stand this fall that

Chris Kirby Tells Where to Hunt For Mature Bucks During the Late Season

In the late season, I believe your ability to take older-age-class bucks totally depends on planting the right crops during the late spring and early fall in designated food plots. When you're planting food plots, most people think about planting crops that they can hunt over in the early season. They rarely consider planting late season food plots. But here’s why you should consider planting last season food plots.

When a Big Buck Is Close, Watch His Eyes

The buck was returning from feeding and was going to his bed. Before this buck came out of that field where he could see the entire field, he studied the timber with his eyes and into the timber where his vision would be limited. We were 20 yards inside the timber. This buck was very cautious. He looked right up in the tree at me and my cameraman two or three different times. I whispered

Joe Shults Harvested a 206-5/8 Buck Wearing Mossy Oak

Mossy Oak camouflage helped me take the biggest deer I'd ever taken. I was hunting in Breckinridge County, Kentucky, during the second rut. A standing soybean field was on one side of a small strip of woods 50-yards wide, and on the other side of the woods was a thick cover bedding area. We thought that the soybean field was probably the only food source still available for the deer during the late season. We

How and When Camouflage Helps

On October 1, 1993, I decided to open my sporting-goods store, Joe’s Sporting Goods. I sold Mossy Oak exclusively in my store, because the other brands of camo I had purchased weren’t selling. Today I still have the only sporting-goods store that sells hunting equipment in my town.

Reasons To Feed Late Season Whitetails

Hunters more than anybody realize how tough the late winter can be for whitetails. Deer in the upper Midwest, northern states, and Canada, can have massive amounts of snowfall to try and navigate through and are often forced to exert a lot of energy to find whatever food is available. Reliable food sources are few and far between and many deer consume a lot of low quality, hard to digest, woody brush in the late

Why I Leave Home To Hunt Whitetails

Today, I've hunted every province in Canada except British Columbia. I also hunt Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota and Colorado. I've taken elk, mule deer, whitetails, black bears and more wild hogs than I can count. I think about the only big game animal in North America that I haven’t hunted is the Shiras moose.

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
