We just completed the purchase of huntinginsider.com
And we’re going to interview some of these individuals within corporations, like Will Primos, and Knight & Hale, and different people within the industry that have grown up in the hunting industry and can share knowledge about either their company, or their products, or what they’re doing out there that is making them successful. We’re going to make sure that every interview that we produce will give our readers and our fans a tip that they can take out into the field and use to help them be more successful.
TIPS………
leave your trail cameras up year round
1. We did an interview with Lee Lakosky, Lee and Tiffany, at SHOT Show. The most important tidbit we got was leave your trail cameras up year round. It was such an incredibly important tip, because most hunters take their trail cams out of the woods at the end of the season. And that’s when you need to leave your trail cameras up, because then you can see the deer that made it through the season. That one little tip has changed my entire outlook on what I do with trail cams.
2. Out in the western part of Nebraska, a lot of the hunting I’m doing is open fields, so you don’t have a lot of tree cover. Or the tree cover you do have is along creek bottoms. And several farms I hunt, the creek bottoms are on other people’s property, so what happens is big whitetails push does out of those creek bottoms to take them up into canyons and to breed them. So you kind of sit really, really far back, and you’re doing a lot of glassing. And once you see a buck pushing a doe into a canyon, then you can spot and stalk and move your way in on him.
3. At least for guys like me who are obsessed with whitetail, it is a 365-day focus. I’m out spring turkey hunting right now, and I’m really focused on…as I’m out there spring turkey hunting, I’m out there focused on looking at trails, checking my trail cams, looking for sheds. I’m constantly focused on, “Okay. What is next season going to look like?”
just sit there and watch.
4. But I learned an important lesson that I took when I went sheep hunting, and goat hunting, and all the other hunting I’ve done, is to get as far away as you can from your quarry and just sit there and watch. Kevin: Yeah, that was one of my hardest lessons, as a guide, to learn, was to get to a high point and sit and wait. Wait until you either hear them bugle during archery season, or wait until you could find them with your eyes during rifle season, and then make your move. I wanted to go out and walk, and walk, and walk. And it’s not always successful.
I’m excited to share the outdoors with women
I’m excited to share the outdoors with women, and I like being out there with Marjorie as often as possible. She took a great mule deer doe this year, and she really enjoyed the process. She comes back, and she goes through the process. She actually butchered her entire deer this year on her own. She labeled every package, and she planned out every meal as she butchered that deer. I think that makes it a little more enjoyable for her.
