Kent Outdoors Offers Hog, Dove and Crow Hunts

We hunt hogs all year long. We could hunt hogs every day of the year, and I don’t believe we’d put a dent in our hog population. The reproductive nature of the hogs is far greater than we can control. We’ve got all sizes and all ages of hogs. Some of them have big cutters, and some of their cutters are small. Some people hunt for meat and others for trophies. Some of our hunters

Geese, Blinds and Plenty of Waterfowling Fun at Texas’ Kent Outdoors

I’m often asked about goose hunting, and I believe that goose hunting is more weather-dependent than duck hunting. Sometimes our geese will show up right after Thanksgiving or possibly after Christmas. We do get a few snow geese that come through north Texas. However, generally, they usually come down the flyway further west or further east of us.

J. J. Kent Tires of Deer Hunting and Learns to Hunt Texas Ducks

Years and years ago I was sitting in a deer stand with my dad, and I decided I was tired of deer hunting. I’d taken enough deer to know that I could. I decided to look for a different type of hunting. A couple of days later, some friends of mine invited me to go duck hunting. When I watched my friends blow those duck calls and saw those ducks respond to the calling, change

When the Hunter and the Dog Become One

We have a waiting list of people who want one of the pups we breed here at Mossy Oak’s GameKeeper Kennels. I'm often asked, “How many pups can Mossy Oak produce in a year?” We’re not about production. We don’t breed our females until they’re 2-3 years old. So, we've got a lot of young females that will come into our breeding program in the next several years. Right now, we only have four females

The Demand for British Labs for Hunting

Watching a well-trained hunting dog perform the task he's been trained to do is like poetry in motion. The dog’s breeding and training go on display as the dog does the work he’s meant to do. Perhaps “work” is not the proper term. Maybe watching a dog enjoy the sport he’s trained for is a better way to describe the pleasure that a dog achieves when he does the tasks that are born and trained

Hunting Waterfowl on the Heartland’s River Systems

Hunters are permitted to hunt the river systems here in Missouri. However the rivers will be deep and cold during the winter months. Big chunks of ice will float down the rivers. So when we hunt the rivers, we never go out to hunt without having at least two boats.
