Chad Parsons from Laramie, Wyoming, and his wife Rena are two of the newest members of Mossy Oak’s ProStaff. Chad has been hunting elk for 10 years. Hunting elk was always on Chad’s bucket list.

The Antelope with the Heart-Shaped Horns

Only two years ago, I took my first archery buck. We were hunting a walk-in area that’s private land but is open to the public to hunt. This was a tiny piece of land between a highway and some railroad tracks that most hunters wouldn’t even try to hunt. So that spot always had highway noise and often train noise.

Rena Parsons’ First Archery Antelope

Chad was with me in a blind, and we had set up over a waterhole on public land that was a Hunter Management Area (HMA). There were three waterholes on this property. But from our scouting, we had learned that most hunters set up on the first two waterholes because they were the closest. The third water hole was farther back and required more walking. So we went to that one because nobody ever hunted

Rena Parsons Loves Hunting Antelope

I'm often asked why I love antelope hunting so much. I guess it’s because when we go antelope hunting, we see a lot of game. Antelope hunting isn’t like hunting elk or deer. To hunt deer or elk, you may have to do a lot of hiking and scouting before you see a critter. When we go out antelope hunting, we just drive out on the prairie. When we spot a herd of antelope, we

Rena Parsons Is Bitten by the Antelope Bug

I've been hunting antelope for 10 years, and I've taken a buck every season. But I never will forget my first hunt that took place in 2007. We had moved from South Carolina to Wyoming. The first year we were here Chad put in for a non-resident tag, and I went with him on this hunt. By 2008, we had established our residency in Wyoming, so Chad and I could get resident tags.

For the Love of Antelopes

Chad and I started the hunt with the veterans as a payback to the men and women who fight for our country and defend our freedoms. Since Chad is a veteran, he totally understands what these men and women who go overseas to fight for us endure on their tours of duty. We love to antelope hunt, and we thought some veterans would love to take an antelope with us as we would cover all

Preparing New Property for Big Bucks

More hunters are realizing that you can produce high-quality bucks on small acreages like this new 120 acres I’ve just purchased. Another advantage to this property is that it’s very thick and overgrown without a very good tillage value. So this property is something that most people looking for land won’t buy. However, this past spring, we took three gobblers off the new land.

Preparation for Bowhunting Deer

At the end of turkey season this year, we started planting every field we have with soybeans and corn in preparation for deer season. We probably have 50 acres of corn and between 100-120 acres of soybeans planted. In March, we planted our BioLogic Clover Plus to make sure that we had plenty of food for both deer and turkeys. We already had some established clover fields, so we top-seeded them for frost seeding. We

The Tale of Taylor’s Turkey

My daughter, Taylor, has been hunting turkeys since she was 10 years old. She is 22 now. As always, Taylor and I hunted together this season. We went to Iowa, one of our favorite places to hunt. Taylor doesn’t do real well getting up before daylight to go out and hunt turkeys, but she gets all fired up about an afternoon hunt.

Perennials such as red and white clovers, chicory and alfalfa are known for providing nutrition for much of the year, and they do. However, they are also excellent attraction for the first part of the hunting season.

The Tale of Grandpa’s Stevens Shotgun

My Grandpa, Bill Ritter (my mother’s dad) had a Stevens shotgun that could always win turkey shoots. When I was 16 years old, my grandpa gave me that shotgun to go to shooting matches and compete with it. After Grandpa gave me the gun, I took the gun to a gunsmith and had the stock replaced, mounted a scope on the gun and had the barrel choked-down to be ready for the shooting matches we
