It is jokingly said that the predator hunter is from a different species of hunters. A true die hard predator hunter usually has multiple weapons that are tricked out just as a car enthusiast has tricked out vehicles. These unique firearms will consist of some of the finest optics made available and items such as silencers, suppressors, bipods, and even …

Turkey hunting, for us, has been a long tradition. And it so happens that turkey season tends to coincide with spring break for our son R.J., allowing us the opportunity to spend an entire week chasing longbeards as a family. For longer than we can remember, our turkey season begins in south Florida with Osceola Outfitters. Owned and operated by …

The morning was uneventful. Since before daybreak, no sound of turkeys could be heard. I waited patiently to listen for a fly-down cackle, gobbles or anything that would give the resemblance of a turkey. A rustling of leaves here, a squirrel bark there were the only sounds to be heard. Nothing was answering my calls. As a bow hunter, nothing …

Sighting in a scope or patterning a shotgun is often a waste of time and ammunition unless it’s done correctly.  Aside from a safe backstop, you need a solid, stationary shooting table and rest so that the variables you test will transfer to a hunting situation.  Like a test tube to a scientist or a stethoscope to a physician, developing …

Shooting big pistols is something I really enjoy. The bigger the caliber, the more I enjoy it – most of the time. Every now and then a gun finds its way into my hands that is a joy to shoot with, even though it can be punishing. As a relatively new convert to black powder firearms, I was quickly attracted …

For some predator hunters, having to take a shot at a coyote that is at a long distance is a last resort. To the other half, there is an unexplainable thrill that comes from having the shooting skills to pull off the harvest, no matter how far the target. Regardless of which category the hunter falls into, there are ways …

In the sport of archery, the bullseye is usually defined to a 1 to 2 inch stationary circle on a block or bag style target. Archers spend countless hours practicing shooting at these targets, so that they are able to hit their desired mark on a consistent basis. When bowhunting turkeys, this task becomes more challenging, because the bullseye is …

Motion sensor cameras have radically changed the way we hunt.  Capturing an image of a big buck, bull, or gobbler is only one of the many functions that these amazing devices can perform.  From protecting your property and family to just having fun – here’s a look at the newest Stealth Cam technology and how to maximize the benefits throughout …

Our day had started much earlier when we placed over 750 Tanglefree snow goose socks and full-bodied Avian-X decoys. We sat back, admired our work and loaded the snow goose sounds on the electronic callers. I set one for a feeding chuckle and the other for excited snow geese. When the legal shooting light arrived, four white geese winged in …

Simpler is better in hunting sights.    Two years ago, two friends and I booked an African safari, a literal hunt-of-a-lifetime.  Although I had bow hunted in Africa many times, my friends nearly burst with the excitement of a first trip.  We each used a different brand of crossbow, but I strongly suggested that we each use a red dot scope.  …
