Many years ago, I was invited to call coyotes out West. Being from a state that is 99% privately owned, the first question I asked was “How many acres you got?”. After a brief pause, he answered “Millions”. You see most of us guys that hunt the Eastern parts of the country are unaware that there are vast amounts of “public land” available for citizens to hunt. Basically, all that is required is a hunting license and a current map of these public lands. It is also a great idea to research the state regulations in the area you choose to hunt.  A couple of states don’t even require a licens ..read more

As temperatures begin to warm and new growth begins to sprout there becomes an even greater need to control the number of wild hogs. While wild hogs can and do root up fields all year long, it is this time of year that they can cause very expensive damage to agricultural fields and crops.  Besides being very destructive to crops, hogs can also have devastating impacts on native wildlife.  Game birds such as turkey and quail nest on the ground. Hogs seek out these nests and can wipe out a whole generation of these birds in a single night. A quick google search will also reveal much e ..read more

(The Grass is Always Greener) Many years ago, I was asked to give a seminar on calling coyotes to a predator hunting club in Pennsylvania. I like to consider myself as a keen observer of not only human but animal behavior. With that, I could sense a tinge of distrust from some in the audience as I gave out my best advice on how to become a better predator hunter. After every seminar, I generally like to have a question-and-answer session to hopefully help clarify my methods. It was evident by the first few questions that many in this group were convinced that their coyotes were more intelligen ..read more

Many people have differing opinions on Predator hunting tournaments.  While this is not the focus of this blog, I will offer my opinion for what it’s worth. I believe they are a great way to incentivize predator hunters to gather and meet, exchange ideas, and methods.  I also believe it is a way to incentivize predator control. Most of these contests are held right after the rut when many deer are vulnerable to predation and right before many does begin giving birth to next year’s fawn crop. If you do decide to enter one of these tournaments you will quickly learn that they are very ..read more

As a hunter, I certainly look forward to the Fall and cooler weather.

Hunters are some of the most difficult to buy for. There are so many products that cover every niche that it makes it even more difficult. Some guys are mainly either big game or bird hunters, but many of these guys a ..read more

As the sun began to descend and the shadows began to grow, the temperature dipped back into a more tolerable level. It was then I left the comfort of my airconditioned truck and began heading towards a muddy slough I knew probably held some hogs. As I approached this slough, I knew that the odds of me slipping in close enough to them for a shot would be very slim. Even if I were lucky enough to slip up on them it would be tough to get off more than one or two shots in the thick tangle of vines and brush surrounding the slough. However, I had a plan. One of the biggest things I enjoy as a hunt ..read more
