Training for Your Backcountry Hunt
Written by Field Expert Jeremy Hoefs
 If you hunt like me, success during hunting season is directly related to the level of preparation. Preparing for DIY (do-it-yourself) public land hunts doesn't come from properly placed food plots or trail cameras. Instead it comes from intense training, like shooting archery 3D tournaments, running local road/trail races, and strength training. Hunting in the harsh conditions of the backcountry is rough mentally and physically. Year after year elk hunting success is around 10 percent. How can you be in the 10 percent who punches their tag? Follow these tips to push the odds in your favor.

BioMass: Serious Summer Groceries
Written by Austin Delano
 Now that deer season is finished, one thing that should be playing through the mind of the serious deer manager is "warm season food plots."
If there is one thing that I enjoy more than hunting it is planting summer food plots and giving my resident herd the high protein groceries they need for optimum health and growth.

RW729 | Archers's Vest with Spine Pad™
 The new Archer's Vest is designed to solve two of the most prevalent apparel problems that bowhunters face: organizing gear and staying comfortable. The typical bowhunter has several tools and gadgets they use during their hunts, and a cluttered backpack isn't always the solution. A rangefinder, compact binoculars, wind detector, limb clippers, game calls, gloves, and a facemask are just a handful of the things that bowhunters need to keep close at hand.
We've built the Archer's Vest with low-profile external pockets that make it easy to stow and access items that you use most often, such as a rangefinder, game calls, and a wind detector. Additionally, there are specialized internal pockets designed for storing items used less often during the hunt, such as a compass or GPS, a tree hook, flashlight, truck keys, and hunting license. There is even a Scent Storage Pocket that is lined with our HyperShield laminate to keep cover scents and attractants from leaking out into the rest of your vest in case of an accidental spill. more details

Wildlife Food Plots and Soil pH: Is There a Connection?
by Richard Tharp, Wildlife Biologist, Alabama DFW
Wildlife food plots, also known as "green fields," are highly popular among white-tailed deer hunters and enthusiasts. Planting some type of food source for wildlife has increasingly become big business since the 1970s. Establishing and maintaining wildlife food plots is one management strategy used by landowners and sportsmen to provide wildlife with one component of their needs. Huge sums of dollars are spent on seed and fertilizer to produce these wildlife food plots across the nation.

 A Glut of Does Harms Bucks
Article from QDMA Written by: John J. Ozoga
In white-tailed deer, the adult sexes live separately during much of the year, just as they do in mule deer, red deer, elk, moose, and many other ungulates. Scientists refer to this social and geographical separation as “sexual segregation" or "niche separation" of the sexes.
Related does live in close-knit matriarchal societies, composed of mothers, daughters, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and so forth. Bucks, on the other hand, form fraternal or bachelor groups generally composed of unrelated males. In either case, social group size and the degree of social complexity varies depending upon many different factors that influence deer herd sex-age composition and density. {Read More}
