When Toxey first began running his Mossy Oak ads in state and regional publications, he had a 1-800 number that consumers could call to order Mossy Oak shirts and pants. That number was at his mom and dad’s home, because Toxey was still working at Bryan Foods in the daytime and trying to grow Mossy Oak on the weekends and at night.

The Creation of Mossy Oak

A company seeing where it’s come from to determine the direction it needs to go is an important aspect of growth.

Harold Knight’s Worst Missed Turkey Ever

In the 1950s, turkey hunters were my heroes, because there weren’t many of them, and everyone knew that those few hunters who could take wild turkeys were some of the best woodsmen in our part of Kentucky. So when I was a boy, I’d go over to these older men’s houses and get them to tell me about turkey hunting. I was like a hungry dog begging for a bone. Every day after turkey season,

Even if you have the best spot in the world, if you alert whitetails to your presence before you get there, it really doesn’t matter. Stand approach is an often overlooked aspect of the hunt.

Strategies For Hunting the "Second Rut"
