30 Years of Mossy Oak: Dick and Chris Kirby

Dick Kirby, the founder of Quaker Boy Calls in Orchard Park, New York, had been making game calls for 10 years before Mossy Oak came on the hunting scene.

Very few hunters then knew how to hunt turkeys, but Dick Kirby and Toxey Haas, the creator of Mossy Oak, were on the leading edge of

Choosing a New Bow

For a bowhunter many questions have to be answered when choosing new equipment, especially for a first-timer. Your bow will obviously be the most important tool and unless you know exactly what you’re doing, it’s best that you go to an archery pro shop where you can receive the proper assistance. A bow is an instrument that needs to be fit to the individual and matched to the job you’re asking it to do.

Fight Target Panic with Your Bow and Take Meat Deer

The first deer I took with my bow was in 2001. Then I tried to shoot target archery and 3D target competitions, but I couldn’t do very well at those sports, because I got target panic. I couldn’t hit where I tried to aim. I sure didn’t want to shoot a deer and not make a good clean shot. So, I decided I wouldn’t hunt with my bow until I solved the problem of target

Take South Carolina Deer in the Heat

Just because the southern part of the state has an August 15 opening date for deer season and a very liberal bag limit, hunting in southern South Carolina is not easy. During the early season, the air temperature is almost hot enough to boil eggs in a puddle. Temperatures usually will range between 80 and 100 degrees plus. However, due to the high humidity in that section of the state, the temperature feels like it’s

Hunt Deer on Clemson University Property

I primarily hunt private land, but this year I plan to hunt public land owned by Clemson University, because it’s only 15 minutes from my house.

30 Years of Mossy Oak: David Hale

Turkey hunting was really in its infancy in the 1980s. Then the sport of turkey hunting exploded nationwide, and Knight & Hale Game Calls and Mossy Oak camo were right in the middle of that turkey hunting revival. I saw the future of Mossy Oak growing during those early days, and I don’t see that growth of Mossy Oak stopping anywhere in the future.

David Hale Says Bet on the Water for Hot Weather Bucks

In the early season when the weather is stinking hot, deer must have water and have it more often in the early season than they do in the late season. Therefore, I always scout water sources during the early season and look for deer trails coming into and going away from the water.

Some hunters do not like to use the term second rut to describe the re-occurring breeding activities that occur during this time because the rutting activity is far different from that of the primary rut.
