Hot Topic: New Light on Button Buck Harvest

“Most hunting clubs and landowners can't manage their deer herds properly because they have made button bucks sacred cows," says Corky Pugh, chief of the Wildlife Section of Alabama's Department of Conservation. Many hunters have become so afraid of shooting button bucks that they won't take the number of does they need to harvest to keep their herds healthy. In hunting clubs, sportsmen often face severe penalties if they mistakenly shoot button bucks instead of

Bowshots at Whitetails

Maybe 90-percent of the reasons why good bowhunters don’t take a deer is due to the noise factor. To learn how much noise you’re making: Oil and grease your tree stand. Then climb in that stand. Next move around in it to make sure it doesn’t squeak when a deer’s in close, and you’re ready to take the shot.

Ram Truck CEO Shines at 2010 Gobbler Camp

I’ve been hosting hunting camps for Mossy Oak for over 20 years; after all, there is no better setting in which to get to know someone than hunting camp.

Along with two Mossy Oak Productions’ field producers, I would spend a quick 36 hours with Fred Diaz, CEO of Ram trucks and a new hero of mine. Hero is a strong term, so

Greybeard How-To Tactics for Longbeards

During the 2009 spring turkey season, New York issued 147,560 permits. But hunters only harvested 34,600 birds. "As you can see, on many public-hunting areas in New York, the turkeys have to deal with a tremendous amount of hunting pressure," Bob Wozniak explains. "But I've found very-productive turkey hunting and few hunters in the woodlots close to major highways and interstates. I know you miss some of the beauty of the silent woods. But when

Sexy Small Talk for Gobblers

Many times subordinate gobblers won’t gobble in the place where the boss gobbler resides. But when the subordinate gobbler hears a lonesome hen feeding away from the flock, he may come in silently, hoping to breed a hen that the boss gobbler hasn't reached yet. This tactic resembles the strategy used when you call in a satellite bull when elk hunting. The herd bull will bugle and stay with a herd of cow elk; but

Successfully Hunting Late, Pressured Bucks

When I refer to "they," I'm referring to other hunters who surround the properties where we hunt, causing pressure. The first thing we see them do with frequency is either walk in or drive in and push out the deer they're trying to hunt. They may be accessing their stands on the wrong wind direction. They may be parking their vehicles or driving into areas that they shouldn't be driving to and pushing bucks out

Nocturnal Scraper Takes Leaf River Camera

Every year I put up a couple of trail cameras around the end of August. Without a doubt, the best time of year for me is November, during the whitetail rut, when I get photos of big bucks making and checking scrapes like the great one posing here. The story on this buck is that I have photos of him on all parts of the farm… but all of the pictures that I have of
