“summer”

Don’t let the heat cool your drive. Right now may be your best chance at a big buck all year.

The dog days of July and August are a misnomer. Hunting dogs need action, but it’s too hot for exercise. Neither old Drake nor young Lady can afford to vegetate now. Hunting season is just around the corner. In a month or two they’ll launch all-out assaults on fields and meadows, woods and waters. How do you get them in shape for that without killing them?

Want a bird dog that'll run like the wind all day? He may have all the hunting drive in the world, but he won't last long if you take him hunting without getting him in shape first.

From the stifling heat, to the dwindling amount of wild game in the freezer, to insect bites and poison ivy, there's plenty for hunters to hate about the off-season.

These organic deer magnets can attract and hold whitetails in an area where they otherwise might not stay for long.

Summer is the time to kick back, relax and enjoy a cold margarita—whether you’re a human or a bear.

If you want your neck of the woods to be ready for deer hunting this fall, start taking care of these essential chores now.

Hunting properties vary in size and habitat but on every one of them you can create a plan to optimize the tract with shelter, food and water. Thinking about these essentials now pays later when deer perceive their reliance on the cornerstones of life.
