Mentor programs help kids connect during New York’s youth turkey season

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, New York /

Parts of New York’s annual youth turkey hunting weekend were wet, but it didn’t stop several young gobbler hunters, and their mentors, from participating in the hunt, held April 22-23.
Across the state, many young hunters, ages 12-15, were out hunting with mentors such as parents, grandparents, older siblings, other relatives or family friends. In other cases, they were part of a number of special youth turkey hunting programs that provided education and connected them with mentors.

Taking a silent approach to hunting spring turkeys when birds refuse to gobble

Blogs, Hunting, Hunting, National Hunting, New York, Opinion, Opinion, Pennsylvania /

Last spring I heard very little gobbling. Unless it was raining, I hunted every day during the spring turkey season and on most days I did not hear a turkey gobble either on the roost or while they were on the ground. It was getting discouraging and caused me to change tactics.

Two partners sometimes better than going it alone for turkeys

Featured, Featured, Featured, Featured, Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, National Hunting, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin /

Mature gobblers are notorious for hanging up just outside of shooting range, often making a seemingly sure thing quickly fade into a memory. Just when you think that the bird will be taking a ride in the back of your truck, he stops coming to your calls. He may keep answering them for a while, but more times than not when this happens the game is over.
This is where having a buddy with you can really pay off.

Is earn-a-buck to take a second buck necessary for deer management in Michigan?

Featured, Hunting, Michigan, National Hunting, Opinion /

Once a hunter takes their first buck of a season, you could make hunters kill an antlerless deer before they can kill a second buck. That would make sure that those guys who don’t like antlerless deer hunting have an incentive to kill one anyway. It’s what we’ll need to do if deer hunters want to avoid some of the unsavory solutions to an out-of-control deer population.

A dead fawn and a short science lesson

Featured, Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, News, News, Wisconsin /

While no sheds were discovered on a walk this spring, we did find a dead deer. All indications were the deer was last year’s fawn (size) and that its death was recent. The carcass was undisturbed, except for some hair that had fallen from the tail. Starvation likely was the cause, but I prefer to gain knowledge beyond assumption.

Talking turkey: Know what you’re saying and when to say it

Featured, Features, Hunting, National Hunting, Pennsylvania, Pro Tips /

Hunting turkeys offers a unique and challenging hunting experience in which hunters must rely on the knowledge of the language to communicate with their quarry.
While it’s true that we use artificial calls to communicate with other game species, few have as diverse a language to be understood as the wild turkey. Because of this, it is important to know what you’re saying, and when to say it.
