Avid Hunter and Olympian Todd Lodwick Explains the Sport and the Mental Aspects of Nordic Skiing and Hunting

I think there are a lot of parallels in Nordic skiing and hunting. Both Nordic skiing and hunting are mental games. You have to believe in yourself, and you have to believe in your ability to find and take the animals you are hunting. In Nordic combined skiing, you also must believe in your skills. Nordic skiing keeps me in very good shape. I feel, because I train all year long for Nordic skiing, that

Judging Your Hunt’s Success

That particular trip out West goes down as one of my best trips even though I didn’t tag an animal. So always try to keep things in perspective when you travel out of state on a hunt. Try to always look at the trip as the adventure; tagging an animal is the cherry on top.

Olympian Todd Lodwick and His Best Elk Hunt

I was lucky enough to go to New Mexico and hunt with Ralph Ramos. I was fortunate to draw a tag in a unit that was known to have some big bull elk. We saw a lot of bull elks on this hunt, and I passed up some really nice bulls. Ralph is such a great caller that we had elk all around us during most of the hunt. I learned many elk-hunting skills from

Chris Kirby Explains How to Hunt the Turkey That Refuses to Come in to Gun Range

Often when you’re calling to a turkey, he may stop 50 - 60 yards away from you and not come in, although he continues to gobble. You need to quit calling, because that gobbler expects to see a hen. When he comes into an area and thinks he should see a hen and doesn’t see a hen, he gets really suspicious. Many times, when you quit calling, the gobbler will come in silently to you,

Chris Kirby – How to Hunt Hushed Mouth Turkeys at the First of the Season

If you have done a sufficient job of scouting your turkeys, you should know where they are, and when they will be there, even if they don’t gobble. I really believe that scouting is far more important than calling, even though I make turkey calls.

Chris Kirby on How to Hunt Turkeys in the Snow

The birds just may be a little less vocal and more sluggish in the snow. But once the sun comes out, the turkeys know that spring is the time of year they are supposed to breed. They only have 30 or 40 days to breed. So, the weather isn’t that much of a factor that keeps them from breeding.

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.
