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.

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.

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.
