Making Up for Lost Time
from Buckmasters
It’s practically a sin in Texas for a man to see his 45th birthday having never hunted deer. At least that’s what my neighbor, Jack, told me. He bought some property out in west Texas and told me he was going to take me hunting so I could get my first deer — and get to heaven. More
Answering the Call
from The Courier-Journal
Dr. Jim Moss was turkey hunting in the hardscrabble hill country of Texas County, Mo., when a gobbler caught him off guard and out of position. The gobbler didn't spook but did the next-worst thing: It hung up just out of gun range. Now, the doctor/hunter/inventor found new way to fool a gobbler. More

A Turkey of a Rain Problem in Area
from the Abilene Reporter-News
Amid the lack of really significant rainfall, we are just a couple of weeks away from the spring gobbler hunting season across the northern two-thirds of Texas, and just as important -- or maybe more so -- the spring turkey nesting season. Truth of the matter is, most spring gobbler hunters are after 3- to 5-year-old gobblers, those larger birds with long beards and spurs to match, so the younger gobblers, called jakes, usually get pretty much a free pass from shotgunners during the spring season.

from The Monitor

from the Odessa American
Misty Sumner’s research includes determining the home range, assessing the health and measuring yearly antler growth of mature mule deer bucks.

African Adventure
from Petersen’s Hunting
It was the third day of my first hunting trip to South Africa and just those three days had given me four great hunts and a lifetime of memories. I was in the Limpopo Province and just an hour away from the fabled Kruger National Park. After having read all of Ruark and Capstick and Hemmingway and just about anyone else who ever decided to pen an African hunting tale, it was my turn to burn some powder. More
