How Often Should I Check My Trail Camera?

One of the questions we get asked a lot is how often to check trail cameras. Everyone is eager to know what’s on their cameras but checking them too often can leave a lot of scent behind and give mature deer a reason to avoid the area.

Bowhunting in Hot Weather

Since bow season arrives on October 15 here in Alabama, we’ll have some 70 to 90-degree heat while hunting. We have two problems to overcome to take deer at that time of the year - human odor and thick cover.

Best Locations for Trail Cameras

Where you mount your trail camera is dependent on the situation. When it's late in the summer, for example, deer are still using warm season food plots. Anytime you can find trails or travel corridors coming from bedding areas to food sources, those are the best places for mounting a trail camera.

100 Deer with a Bow

By the time I was 25, I had taken more than 100 deer with my bow. During that time Alabama’s deer herd had grown to gigantic proportions, and deer hunters who hunted with their bows and rifles could take a buck and a doe each day from October 15 until January 31.

Deer Hunting with a Pistol

I consider pistol hunting deer like bowhunting with a gun, because I want to take deer at close range with both. I like hunting with a pistol. The first time I took it to the woods and a doe came in, I got as charged up with adrenaline as I’d been the first time I had a deer come within bow range. The doe was at about 20 yards, and I shot her free-handed.

Calling in Doves is Similar to Calling in Ducks

Decoying and calling doves really became exciting. Although I knew I hadn't mastered calling, I found out I could work mourning doves in to range. And the satisfaction that came from good calling and decoying welled-up inside me. I realized that I could work doves around water in the same way that I could work waterfowl over water.

Game Camera Mounting Tips

One thing that often gets overlooked when putting up trail cameras is the height. If the trail camera is mounted too low, it limits the field of view. And if you’re putting you trail camera in an area that could flood, you’re risking damage to the camera and your pictures.

When Dove Shooting Becomes Dove Hunting

With the proper equipment and knowledge about doves, outdoorsmen can enjoy one of the best wing-shooting sports. Opening day of dove season often can result in a frustrating frenzy of fast shooting, plenty of birds and much spent powder. But after opening day, the wild and timid surviving doves know how to dodge hunters. Dove shooting then becomes dove hunting, an altogether different sport.
