Parrish Elliott Says to Stay Away From the Deer

Before opening day of bow season, the deer in my area are usually in the agricultural fields. I try and stay as far away from those deer as I can and still be able to see them. I use my binoculars and generally remain in my truck to observe the deer. I have a spot, on one place that I hunt, that is 300-yards away from the agricultural fields. I can sit there in my

Strictly Personal

In the popular mafia flick The Godfather, the line of “it’s not personal, it’s strictly business” is frequently used to differentiate between matters of business and friendships. It’s a great concept; certain things are intended to be handled on a personal level, while others are to be taken seriously. David Westmoreland of Kansas’ Prairieland Outfitters runs his operation as the antithesis of the above notion; he places an emphasis on personal relationships and a client-first

David Welch Is Eyeball to Eyeball with a Big Bull Elk

I knew I couldn’t get another arrow on the string and draw without him seeing me, so we had a staring contest at about 40 yards. After the bull had looked at me for a long time, he just turned around and walked off. I don’t know what he would have scored. When I get in close to a bull, I try not to look at the antlers after I decide he’s a bull that

David Welch Is Face to Face with a Blacktail Deer

I was hunting blacktail deer in the wilderness area of California on the side of a steep ridge where the deer were holding. This ridge had no cover but manzanita bushes, granite rock and oak brush no higher than my knees. On this day, I was wearing Mossy Oak Bottomland camo and working my way to another area early in the morning, hoping to find a buck. I was going up over a little rise

David Welch Takes Pork Chops on the Hoof

I snuck-up on a big sounder of at least 50 wild hogs in that open terrain. I was able to take one of those hogs with my bow. Mossy Oak Brush camo blended-in so well that I just looked like a big clump in the grass to the pigs. The hog I took was a 200-pound boar.

Shoot That Buck!

The flash of white antlers brought me to full attention. The buck was less than sixty yards away and slowly making his way through the cane thicket towards my stand. I recognized him with the first clear look through my binoculars. This buck was on our “shoot list.” This was the first daylight look at this beautiful east-central Alabama buck. Looking through my Nikons it took only a few seconds to make a decision, I

Go Farther, Stay Longer and Hunt Harder

Because of the internet and the different hunting forms, learning about public-land hunting now is much easier than it was in the past.

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

By Heath Wood December marks a prime time for predator hunters as the cold temperatures of late fall transition into winter, pushing coyotes into a heightened state of activity. Even though I enjoy coyote hunting all year and have had success throughout the year, December often marks the start of my “winter season” of coyote calling and is the beginning of what I believe to be the best time to hunt coyotes.
