Learning To Be A Stupid Hunter

Trail cameras are arguably the “coolest tool” to hit the hunting industry in the past 20 years. However, in a way they may be building a generation of dumb hunters. In a recent thread on a hunting forum, a young hunter had arrowed back to back trophy bucks. Others were asking him questions about how he got close and the signs he used to determine his ambush site and this young hunter didn’t know what

The Drury’s call it “taking a buck census.” They use two important tools to find and document every buck within their hunting areas. You’ll need a reliable, quiet, infrared trail camera and a BIOROCK.

Poor Herbicide Performance? Try This Simple Fix

With the widespread availability and decreased price in glyphosate, its use as a non-selective, complete burn-down herbicide for site prep on new and established food plots is becoming commonplace. Some people may have noticed, however, that their spraying seemed less effective on weeds and overall herbicide performance was low. This can happen often when filling tanks with a rural water source, but there’s a simple fix

When it comes to bow hunting, a few feet can be the difference in getting a shot or going home disappointed. We've all spent countless hours preparing a stand and planting food plots only to have that mature buck or doe walk just out of our effective bow range. Most everyone is familiar with using the P2 PLOT PROTECTOR KIT to keep deer out of your summertime plots until they have enough growth, but it

Beating The Drought: Supplemental Feed

Many sections of the country have experience moderate to extreme drought this summer. Day time temperatures over 100 degrees have been common this year in many places, and not just the south. With the scorching temps and lack of rain, warm season food plots as well as perennials can really take a hit and you may lose a crop. If you are not already using supplemental feed on your property, now is a good time

Get Serious About Trail Cams

Trail cameras are undoubtedly the coolest advance in hunting technology over the past twenty years. Some people choose to save battery money during the spring and early summer, while others keep cameras out all year. However, it’s really not until recently that a buck had much “up top” to show us. Now during the month of July antler growth accelerates enough so you can start to recognize individual bucks, learn which bucks made it from

Prepare Your Seedbed Early…Real Early

It’s already time to start thinking about late summer/fall plots. In fact, preparing early is beneficial to the plot and the soil. Every time you work the soil, moisture is lost and valuable microorganisms and nematodes are killed. Some believe that the best route is to work the soil well in advance of planting - typically 4 to 6 weeks before. And where normally one would burn-down all the existing vegetation with an herbicide before

Imagine you had two buck fawns with equal genetic traits. If one buck fawn starts life in good standing with ample nutrition and low stress but the other doesn’t have those benefits, as an adult the fawn that started off well will always have the potential for a better set of antlers - even if they eventually live on the same property. A good start is very important to a whitetail’s life.
