Mark Hanson Tells about a Bull Elk for His Son Ron

Both of my sons, Ron and Paul, are members of the Mossy Oak Pro Staff. The first bull that a friend and I called up for Ron came in and hung-up about 100 yards from Ron. He bugled several times and finally walked off. Because I knew the area, I realized that on the other side of the hill where we had heard the bull there was an old clear cut.

One time I had taken a big bull elk while hunting with my son, Ron, and a friend of mine named Tom Smith. Ron went back to camp to get my vehicle and some frame packs to use to carry the meat out.

Mark Hanson’s Biggest Bull Elk Ever – 368 Points

The biggest bull I've ever taken scored 368 points. The place I was hunting was kind of thick. So finding and trying to pattern a particular bull was somewhat difficult due to the terrain. However, my son, Paul, and I went into this area the weekend before elk season opened. We had planned to deer hunt, but we woke up one morning to the sound of an elk bugling. So, instead of deer hunting that

Call in a Gobbler without Being a Great Caller

My friends Harold Knight and David Hale of Knight and Hale Game Calls did a video a few years ago titled,“The Last 100 Yards.” The video was about how to close the deal on a turkey and get him within gun range. These two guys are great turkey callers. However, they're quick to say, “There are thousands of turkeys harvested each season with a single-sided box call that the hunter uses for yelping and clucking.”

Stay Away From the Turkey in the Early Season

In the early part of the season before the foliage is fully out, if I can hear a turkey gobble, I believe there’s a good chance he can see me. So, I won’t try to get as close to a gobbler in the early season as I will in the late season. The other thing you have to remember, if you're taking a new hunter turkey hunting, is that more than likely, he/she will make

Locate a Listening Place

Once you’ve pinpointed an area where all signs indicate a turkey’s there, and you’ve gone out and listened for a turkey to gobble before daylight to confirm that a gobbler is there where you plan to hunt, next find a listening spot. Turkey hunting is more audible than visual. By that I mean, you should be able to hear a turkey much more than you can see a turkey.

Predator Hunting in January: Capitalizing on Cold Weather and Hungry Coyotes
