Secrets on Hunting New York’s Public Lands

I'm often asked, “How difficult is finding a place to hunt in New York State?” In New York, we’re fortunate to have a lot of state land to hunt. If you want to hunt private land, you have to be willing to knock on doors and ask permission. And, I believe that 40 percent of the doors you knock on, the landowner will give you permission to hunt their land. New York has a tradition

I Took a Shot at 273 Yards with My Muzzleloader

I took an 8-point buck at 273 yards using this load in this rifle. I hadn’t planned on hunting that afternoon. I went home, got my gun and was taking a slow, easy walk through the woods when I saw something move out on the far side of the hardwoods. I froze and kept looking and looking, until I could determine that the movement I had spotted was a nice-size shooter buck. I had shot

Improve Hunting Success: Stand Approach is Key

Even if you have the best spot in the world, if you alert the whitetails to your presence while on the way into your site…it won’t matter. Stand approach is an often overlooked aspect of the hunt. You must get to your ambush site without alerting any animals. Obviously wind direction and thermal current has to be considered, but masking your sounds and making sure you’re not seen are equally important. There are many strategies

How to Take Bears and Deer on New York’s Public Lands

One of the big advantages I have is that the place I hunt is only 10 miles from my home near the town of Elma. Our rifle season starts November 21 at the same time as our shotgun season. At this time, I usually go to southern New York to hunt. I’ll be hunting for black bears with my rifle there. We’ll be bear hunting around the towns of Whitesville and Independence from tree stands

Howard’s System to Eliminate Human Odor

One question I'm often asked is what I’m doing to keep the deer from smelling my human odor, especially since we have warm weather most of deer season. Some people say that I'm over the top in my concern about hiding or masking human odor. When I hunt, I bathe in scent-free soap, I wash my clothes in scent-free clothes wash, and I put scent-free products in my dryer. When I take my clothes out

Trophy Bucks in South Alabama

Twenty years ago, we often would see 50 to 75 deer in a food plot at one time, and you could actually see a browse line from the deer in most of the woods where we hunted. But when we had a biologist from Alabama’s Department of Conservation come in and do a survey, he told us we needed to start harvesting more does from our land. At that time, a trophy buck was an

By Terry Madewell, originally published in the 1994 edition of Mossy Oak Bowhunting Magazine As big whitetail bucks are inclined to do, this one had done the unexpected. I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I
