All That Trophy Talk

I know you’ve read the stories about record book bucks. The sighting, the stalk, the encounter, the quest and the glory. I myself have read many tales of how one lone wolf; solitude trophy hunter climbed the mountain and achieved the ultimate in his or her hunting career, a buck that scores in the record book.

Mark Davis’ Biggest Public Land Buck

The buck was running so fast and was so interested in the doe that he never saw me in my Mossy Oak camouflage. I got off a shot with my blackpowder rifle, and the buck didn’t travel more than 30 yards from where I was sitting.

A Time and Place for Mast Trees

In a nutshell, it’s all about the species of trees you choose to grow, and most importantly where you plant them that can make such a drastic difference. At Nativ Nurseries, we raise a wide spectrum of species– all beneficial for wildlife, but again it’s about where you put them that is so key when it comes to improving huntability. Most of us have learned by now how to grow and hold more mature bucks

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.

Out of the Gate

Understanding the social structure of the herd during the time you intend to hunt is a key to getting various hunting tactics to work for you. In the “whitetails’ world” the time during early season is all about being social with other deer; however, they may not be communal with the specific deer that you might think. Some hunters feel that they shouldn’t use certain calls or scent until just before the rut. Actually, early

Why Long Driveways and Expensive Houses Equal Big Bucks

I like to hunt for bucks with big antlers. Usually I will have one to three big bucks on my hit list every year. I put in a lot of time, effort and money to try and locate those three big bucks each season. I not only scout for deer all year and purchase trail cameras for each property I hunt, but I also spend my spare time glassing these lands, looking for big bucks.

Managing a Large Wood Lot in Suburbia by Controlling 6 Acres

I had permission to hunt a 6-acre piece of property several years ago. I took two bucks that made the Pope and Young record book there, during three consecutive years. (I no longer have that property, because the land was developed, and the woods are no longer there). Actually all I need to hunt deer is a small piece of property to hunt where I can see 40 yards or less.

Mike Monteleone Explains Other Places Bucks Bed

During early bow season in September and October, bucks have the same problem hunters have: bugs. Bucks often will bed on the tops of hills or mountains for two reasons. Generally the air will be cooler the higher they move-up a mountain, plus there may be a slight breeze. Both of these conditions help to keep bugs off the deer. However, generally, does, for some reason, tend to bed in low areas where there are

How to Pattern Bucks on Small Properties with ProStaffer Mike Monteleone

At any given time, I’ll have 10- to 15-different pieces of property to hunt. The properties I hunt primarily are small, from 8 to 400 acres. I put out Covert trail cameras that run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year, even on properties I’ve hunted for years. From my cameras, I’ve learned where to put up my tree stands, when to put them up and when to move

When the Flood Comes

The good news for us is that although our wildlife populations may take a huge hit, the environment is enhanced by the flooding. New nutrients are brought in by the flood, giving native plant species a boost. Know that even with the horrendous destruction there is a light at the end of the tunnel and renewed optimism. We must simply make the best of the consequences and continue to improve as GameKeepers.
