Clint Lindemann Starts Hunting Again

For a couple of months after I was conscious, I couldn’t believe I’d never walk again. After 3 months in the hospital, I was allowed to go back home, where I continued physical therapy and occupational therapy for about another 6 months. I assumed my hunting career was over. But then when I was 18, I learned that there was an organization in North Dakota that took hunters with disabilities bowhunting.

Clint Lindemann Was Shot - But Still Hunts

“If you don’t think that every day is the best day of your life, try missing one!” Mossy Oak pro, 37-year-old Clint Lindemann of Enderlin, North Dakota, says. “I was on the wresting team, football team and baseball team in high school, and always had been an avid hunter.” Every chance 15-year-old Lindemann had to go to the woods, he and his buddies would deer hunt, until the day he was nearly killed, and his

What to Do When the Cow Is Down

A resident elk tag costs just under $50, and a mule deer tag is about $32. If I have both tags and hunt during bow season, I can take a bull elk, a cow elk or a mule deer for less than $100 as a resident. If I'm unsuccessful taking a bull elk during bow season, I don’t have to eat that bull tag or take a raghorn bull during bow season, because it converts

Don’t Eat Bull Elk Tags When You Can Take a Cow

In June and July each year, you usually can buy leftover tags that haven’t been filled from the previous season. I usually pick the weekends that I want to hunt cows. I'm a fair-weather hunter. I don’t mind the snow and ice, but on the weekends when our area has 50 to 60 mph winds, I’d rather stay at the house. I've found that the most productive days to hunt in the late elk season

How Many Cow Elk Do You Need?

Walk-in areas on private ranches that are managed by the Game and Fish Department are other places where I find good cow-elk hunting. The landowners in these regions get too much elk pressure on their lands and may ask the Game and Fish Department for help in removing some of those excess elk. Once the Game and Fish Department examines these properties and deems a certain number of elk need to be removed to keep

Equipment Needed for a Late Season Elk Hunt

The first and most important equipment for a late-season elk hunt is a quality pair of waterproof boots. You don’t want to show up in camp with your new boots still in the cardboard shipping box. You should have your boots broken in and know that you can wear them without getting blisters and without getting your feet wet. You may want to consider bringing a pack boot that has a rubberized sole and bottom,

What You Must Understand about Weather and Elk Hunting

If you don’t know when to continue or to discontinue the hunt and look for shelter, you can get in serious trouble. If you're hunting elk in the late season, you need to be prepared to hunt under some really tough conditions. If you’ve got the potential for rain or snow to hit while you're out hunting, you need to be prepared to either hunt in that weather or survive in that weather.

Packing on The Pounds

Cold temperatures typically drive sugar production and turn brassica blends to their most palatable state. Once this happens expect this to be the hottest food source in the area. Brassicas are like candy to whitetails. Different brassicas tend to develop their sugar at different times. Radishes, rape, canola, turnips and kale are all great plantings, and if you have enough ground all should be planted. This way you will have the most attractive planting available

How to Find Elk When They're Not Talking

The real key to finding elk in the late season is being familiar with the travel corridors they use when they come out of the high country and/or when they leave the parks. Typically, elk will follow the same migration routes every year, depending on when cold weather hits and where the food source is that they normally go to. Those are the two main reasons that makes scouting over the internet and the telephone
