Summer Scouting Tactics

Summer is one of the best times of the year to embark on hands-on reconnaissance missions for trophy whitetails. Why?

Nicole Jones and Her African Lion Hunt

When I put my hands on my lion, I almost went limp. I was emotionally and physically drained. As we stalked the lion, my adrenaline really amped-up. When I drew and took the shot, I had to override that adrenaline and make sure I went through my shot sequence correctly. Then when the lion jumped and ran away, all that adrenaline was reloaded.

Pat Reeve and Nicole Jones Bow Hunt for African Cape Buffalo

After hunting water buffalo in Australia, I wanted to hunt cape buffaloes with my bow. More people are killed by Cape buffaloes than any other dangerous-game animal in Africa. On the first day of the hunt, Frikkie explained, “These cape buffaloes move in herds. We have to find a herd, pick out a shootable bull and then get close enough for you to get a bow shot without being seen or smelled.”
