Clint Lindemann’s Story of Friendship and Hunting

I believe that the friend who shot me took that accident much harder than I did. After the accident, the two of us have remained good friends. When he got married, he asked me to be a groomsman in his wedding. He was one of my hunting buddies before the accident, and he’s one of my hunting buddies today.

You Can Return to the Outdoors If You’ll Adapt, Overcome and Conquer

Last year I started shooting a shotgun and found a way to adapt it to my rifle mount. I hope to be able to take a pheasant or grouse this fall. The shotgun is primarily used to shoot moving targets like pheasant and grouse, and I'm able to move my shoulder enough to position the gun out in front of the bird and then pull the trigger. When I shoot the shotgun, it’s quite a

Clint Lindemann’s Hunting and Civic Involvement

By November 7, 2016, I had spent 16 days in a blind without having a shot. However, I’ve learned that patience and perseverance pay off, and on November 7th, I finally took a white-tailed buck. In our section of North Dakota, we primarily have whitetails, but further to the west lives good populations of mule deer. Since my accident, I’ve taken seven bucks with my crossbow and three does. In recent years, I’ve gotten a

Wile-E May Be Killing Your Deer

You would be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t agree with the fact that; “Coyotes are plentiful and their numbers are increasing almost everywhere throughout our country.” Their population boom east of the Mississippi during the past 40 years is especially impressive. Other predator numbers are also up throughout most of the country. No one likes the idea of coyotes managing their wildlife for them. Luckily there are a few things we can do

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

30 Years of Mossy Oak: Dan Moultrie

In those early days, I saw that Toxey and his employees were as passionate about the outdoors as we were at Moultrie, so we talked about our passion for the outdoors. Toxey even started using the word “passion” to help brand his company. In the early days, I also noticed that Toxey attracted quality people to work at Mossy Oak, and these people were the same kind of people and had the same qualities as

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
