“food sources”

For guys like Jeremiah Waugh, shed hunting is an addiction. He's only one of the many western hunters joining a cult-like following of the "sport."

The more deer hunting myths debunked the better. That's a fact. This is my attempt to take down hunting's overused cliches, one fact-less myth at a time.

As late fall arrives and hunting pressure ends or declines, several factors combine to increase daytime deer activity.

Late-season bucks are simple to pattern. Spend your winter afternoons bundled up near a high-calorie food source, and you'll be piling them up in not time.

Attractive food sources will really improve the quality of your whitetail hunting; the better the food, the more they glue themselves to it.

Not a lot of open land or equipment? No problem. Small deer-attracting food plots can be grown anywhere with a few tools, a minimal budget and a little elbow grease.

Does a ruthless winter and sopping wet spring spell boom or bust for waterfowlers and upland hunters?

Hunting big bucks in small places can be a blessing in disguise if you pay attention to details and use smart strategies tailored to such properties.

Don’t wait until after big-game seasons for that low-pressure squirrel hunt. Go now while there are still plenty running around the trees.
