Hank Parker Wears Mossy Oak to Hunt Turkeys and Squirrels

You may not believe this, but when I’ve been sitting still in a tree wearing Break-Up Infinity, I’ve actually had squirrels jump on my shoulder. Evidently they’ve thought I’m a tree limb. If I can fool a squirrel from up close, I’m pretty sure a deer can’t recognize me from far off.

Outdoorsman Hank Parker Has Learned That Camouflage Includes Sitting Still and Being Quiet

Being still in the woods is one element we fail to emphasize enough I think when we talk about how to prevent animals from seeing us. Regardless of the camo pattern you wear, if you’re moving around when the game is looking at you, that game will spook. So, when we talk about camouflage, let’s always remember that being motionless in the woods is an absolute necessity.

Rod Magrew Wears Break-Up Infinity to Take the Paige Buck

The area we were hunting was ideal. It had timber, pastures and croplands that provided a diversity of habitat for the whitetails there. I had taken my 15-year-old granddaughter Paige into this same stand site in 2011, and twice as we were getting out of our blind in the evening, we jumped a big buck from the timber behind us.

Transition to Growing Season

Hunting season is over and its time to start making plans for this upcoming growing season. Providing adequate cover is critical to keep whitetails on your property, especially those older age class bucks we all work so hard to protect. The crew at Nativ Nurseries has put together a killer Bedding Blend that uses 7 varieties of native grasses and wildflowers to create a safe place for deer to lay up.

Killing all the coyotes you possibly could will without doubt help fawn recruitment, but try as you might, there will still be coyotes around. The argument has been made that you need a few to keep the other small predators in check, and there is some good research that supports this claim. However, no one likes the idea of coyotes managing their deer herd for them.

Ten minutes after shooting light, I spotted a buck to my right, moving toward the food plot. The deer wouldn’t allow me a shot on his current trajectory, so I knew I needed to turn him around and get him to come back toward me. I picked-up my grunt call and grunted a few times. The deer turned quickly and started coming straight toward my stand.

When Does Payback Begin?

When does “payback” begin on your investment of buying a property and managing it? I guess that all depends upon what you value and what you’re striving for. Some would say it starts immediately. Having the opportunity to own a small piece of God’s green earth and being able to leave your mark on it, in itself, is very gratifying. But gauging when the “proceeds” of all your hard work in managing the property will

Bear of a Lifetime

I went to Colorado for a month to hunt and had a bear tag, an elk tag and a mule deer tag. A bear tag is mainly a tag of opportunity in Colorado. You can’t bait and can’t use dogs there, but if you buy the tag and get a bear within range, you can take him. Or, you can spot and stalk a bear. I always had wanted to take a bear, so I

Mike Magrew and His Three-Shot Elk

In less than a minute, a nice 5X5 bull came into the waterhole and was looking for the bull he thought had been breaking the limbs. He ran all the way into the wallow, 30-yards from the blind I had built. What I didn’t realize was this bull was creating a new wallow about 30-yards further out than the one I had ranged.

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
