Food Plot Variety Equals All Season Usage

If you have enough ground to devote to your food plot program, most managers would agree that a well diversified plot with a variety of plants to give your herd what they need regardless of the time or conditions is the way to go. Some of the plants you choose would be perennials; however, for attraction during hunting season it’s hard to beat a food plot full of luscious annuals.

Jim Shockey Explains Why He’s Joined the Mossy Oak Family

The main reason I didn’t wear camo was because I couldn’t find any camouflage clothing manufacturer that produced the type of clothing I needed and wanted to wear on my adventures. But when Mossy Oak and I got together, there was some real technological advances being made in camo clothing. Many of those high-tech camouflage clothes were being made by Under Armour. I saw the quality of adventure hunting clothes, and the technology of high-tech

What is your Fall Game Plan?

Every year I look back on the previous season and analyze how things went. As I have progressed as a bowhunter, it has been less about how many deer I harvested and more about what I have learned. This year is no different. I will begin to reflect on what happened during the last two to three seasons and evaluate what went right and what went wrong. What hunting scenarios seemed to produce the most

2014 Ozonics Featuring Treestand

When we go on many of our hunts or even when I am hunting with my boys close to home, we have limited time in the woods.

Pat Reeve on Growing Bigger Bucks on the Property You Hunt

By keeping trail-camera pictures of the bucks on the property you hunt each year, you can begin to see an antler pattern as the bucks grow. For instance, you'll see that certain bucks tend to express only an 8-point rack each season, a 7-point rack or a 6-point rack. When we see a buck like that, we’ll often put him on the hit list for the next season. As I mentioned, I’ll put the bucks

Pat Reeve Tells Where To Plant Food Plots and Why

I prefer to plant all my food plots in the center of my property. The outside edges of my land are where the deer bed. A ridge runs through my 400 acres. I plant all my food plots either on the ridge or on the sides of the ridge. I want to draw all my deer to the center of the property with the food plots. This tactic has worked very well for me over

5 Tips for Dealing with Trespassers

Why do some people think they have the right to break the law and trespass wherever they please? Most law-abiding property owners can’t imagine why these unethical “hunters” (for lack of a better term) would break the law and take the chance of losing their hunting privileges, or why they would steal from the property owner. Protect yourself from this and prevent trespassing and poaching from ever happening in the first place.

Yesterday I explained that providing plenty of food and cover on your hunting lands year-round are the best ways I know to grow and hold older-age-class bucks on the property you hunt.

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
