Kevin Faver Deer Hunts to Take Feral Hogs

To try and get the hogs out of the swamps, we used dogs and lead. We tried using traps, but the hogs wised-up to these fairly quickly. One sow can breed twice in one year, and the females in each litter can be bred at 6 months of age. So, before too long, a region can home way-too-many feral hogs. Actually most Florida deer hunters will have much-better opportunities to take feral hogs than they

Florida Deer Hunting, Human Odor, Bugs, Snakes, and Alligators

There is not much Floridians can do to prevent or avoid snakes and alligators where we hunt. I grew up in Florida and have lived there all my life. From an early age, my dad taught me that when I walked in the woods to look down for snakes and alligators. Even when I go to Kansas or Indiana to hunt, I still look at the ground in front of my feet before I take

A Banded Edification

Waterfowl hunting is a way of life for a lot of us, it drives us to do some crazy things - sleep deprivation, late nights, tedious work on decoys, gadgets, and most of us look forward to that “torture” each year. I wanted to share a short story with all of you about hunting with youth and involving them in the Gamekeeper lifestyle. This is a very special story, a rare story that happened to

Hunting Whitetails in Honobia in Southeast Oklahoma with Mark Davis

When I got the buck up on the bank, I inspected him more closely. His shins and chest had no hair. His hooves had the toenails worn off, and both his ears were ripped. He was the strangest-looking deer I’d ever seen. On the way home I called a friend of mine who’s a game warden and described the deer’s condition. He said, “Mark, I wouldn’t eat that deer, and I wouldn’t give him to

Mark Davis Tells About Doubling Down on Does

In Oklahoma, you legally can harvest five does any time you have the opportunity. Once I was hunting in the Deep Fork public hunting area during the first or second week in November, when the weather was very cold. I hiked 3 miles from my truck, got in early and climbed into my tree stand. I hadn’t really seen any bucks all morning, but there was a steady stream of does.

Fawns Best Left in the Wild

Most wild mammals, including fawns, are protected under the law and may not be legally taken from the wild or kept as pets. In the vast majority of instances, fawns will be just fine if left alone. Fawns are difficult animals to rear in captivity and have the greatest chance for survival if left alone in their native habitat.

Mark Davis Says to Go Into the Woods Before Daylight and Come Out After Dark

By going into the woods before daylight and before most hunters get to the woods, I ensure no one sees where I’m hunting. I come out of the woods after dark, and once again, other hunters don’t see where I’ve been. I do have an exception to the rule, in that if I take a deer during daylight hours, I go ahead and bring the animal out of the woods.

Oklahoma Whitetails on Public Lands

I hunt deer three or four different places here in Oklahoma. Most of the time I go to southeastern Oklahoma and hunt what we call the mountains. I also travel to the southern part of the state, to a place we call Sulphur Davis. I primarily hunt public lands, because it’s far-less expensive than hunting private lands. Public land has produced a tremendous number of deer for me over the years and some really-nice bucks.
