AmericanHunter.org is proud to launch "Whitetail Week," a new online-only initiative designed to deliver as much content as possible about North America's favorite game animal.

No North American game animal is pursued as commonly—and in all likelihood, as passionately—as the whitetail deer. Each fall hope springs eternal as millions of hunters dream of adhering their tag to the buck they've been monitoring for months, if not years. The United States is a country of whitetail hunters, and we've decided to launch an online initiative with just that in mind. Hence, "Whitetail Week." For the final week of each month this fall, AmericanHunter.org will dedicate itself entirely to original whitetail-exclusive content. Our editors will deliver a week's worth of feature stories, tips and videos all focused on our nation's favorite game.

Meanwhile, our social media platforms will deal exclusively in the latest whitetail-related content throughout each event week. Readers will be able to find all of our new whitetail coverage on the AmericanHunter.org Facebook, Twitter and Google+ accounts. An event-appropriate hashtag, #WhitetailWeek, will be utilized on Twitter.

Further, four special "Whitetail Week" e-newsletters will go out later this fall. Each will feature the corresponding week's whitetail coverage, along with additional online content. The first e-newsletter mails on Aug. 28, 2014, and four special "Whitetail Week" editions will follow.

"Whitetail Week" E-Newsletter Dates:

• Sept. 22
• Oct. 22
• Nov. 22
• Dec. 22

*Mailing dates are subject to change.

Michigan Mayor Looks Down on Guns and Dogs

“If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand. NRA-ILA also noted that in his response to a police K-9 chasing down a suspect, LaGrand said: “It is time that we ask, ‘What are dogs good for?’ Like, if you need a dog to find someone in the woods, get a hound dog. If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
