Duck Hunting in a Floating Duck Blind

Our duck blind is a work of art. We’ve taken plywood panels and mounted them to the base of an old pontoon boat. We can shoot seven hunters out of this blind. But most of the time, we only hunt five, because the blind is much more comfortable with only five hunters in it.

Decoying Ducks Properly is Key to Successful Duck Hunting

Primarily, we use our calling to get the ducks’ attention and cause them to look at our decoys. We've learned that if our decoy spread is set up right, and we get the ducks’ attention with some fairly-loud calling, the ducks will usually come down.

Property Lines and Borders are an Integral Part of Management

Trespassing is a major problem that can impact the value of your property, can limit your enjoyment of your place and can even pose a threat to the safety of those who hunt and use your land. While the majority of the cases of trespassing are intentional and malicious, some do occur because the property lines were not properly established via marking paint, posted signs or fences.

Opening Day Duck Hunting on the Mississippi Flyway

I hunt just off the Mississippi River on private land. On Thanksgiving weekend, 2017, we saw mallard, ring-necked duck, teal, gadwall and pintail ducks. We spotted over 100 flights of ducks coming down the Mississippi River from the North. We were able to work about 20 different flights each day into our decoys.

Hunting Oryx in New Mexico

The trophy oryx hunts, and the broken-horn oryx hunts are offered on the White Sands Missile Range, and those hunts are regulated by the estimated number of oryx there. The hunts are held on different sites inside the missile range, depending on the population numbers in various sections of the range. I think your odds to draw an oryx hunt as a non-resident are very good, but you’ll pay $1,500 to get the tag.

Tips for Late-Season Elk Hunting in New Mexico

The late-season elk tags are much easier to draw than the tags during bugling season, because the largest group of elk hunters want to hunt when the bulls are bugling. If you're interested in taking a cow elk, you just about can draw a cow elk tag every year for the late season in New Mexico.

Late-Season Cow Elk Hunts with Youth and Women

One of the advantages of hunting cows during the late season is they're often much easier to locate than the bulls are, and they’ll usually be in big herds. Early in the morning and late in the evening, they’ll generally be in the lower meadows feeding. Taking a cow elk can not only reduce the cost of buying meat for your family, but it also gives you another reason to be out hunting elk.

By Heath Wood December marks a prime time for predator hunters as the cold temperatures of late fall transition into winter, pushing coyotes into a heightened state of activity.

Strategies For Hunting the "Second Rut"

Often, the first to mid-December, white-tailed does, and bucks go into what many hunters refer to as the second rut. Some hunters do not like to use the term second rut to describe the re-occurring breeding activities that occur during this time because the rutting activity is far different from that of the primary rut.
