2023/04/26

Let’s face it. Most people don’t enjoy knocking on doors to seek hunting or fishing permission. Not only is it awkward for the asker, but it’s also a disruption to the landowner and sometimes an unwelcome one. While it can work and many are still successful using this tactic, it’s not ideal for most. This is where LandTrust comes in. LandTrust was founded to make communication between landowners and outdoor recreationists easier. In this episode, Nick and The Doctor are joined by the founder and

2023/04/12

Do you feel that deer management only extends to your boundary line? Or, that what occurs beyond the border has traditionally been looked upon as the wild west? Wildlife Cooperatives (Co-ops) are changing that mindset. A Wildlife Co-op is comprised of neighboring landowners and/or hunters working toward common interests. NDA has long recognized the importance of a cooperative effort among neighbors to promote healthy deer herds, healthy habitats, and for improved hunting quality. Cooperatives driven

Traveling out of the local area to hunt is steadily gaining in popularity. While going on a destination hunting trip can be exciting and rewarding, it can be equally frustrating and disappointing if hunters don’t properly plan for the excursion.

Protecting Yourself From Hearing Loss With...

2023/01/18

Our hearing is one of our five finely tuned senses and arguably the most likely to be compromised by our lack of protection of it. This is particularly true for hunters and recreational shooters who often put their hearing in danger by pulling the trigger on firearms, even with lower calibers, without proper ear protection. High-intensity impulse sounds will permanently damage the inner workings of the ear, and people who shoot firearms are at a higher risk of noise-induced hearing loss than those

Any seasoned deer hunter will tell you that there’s nothing more exhilarating than hunting a particular buck over more than one season. It’s a rarity for most to get more than a second season to match wits with the same deer let alone three, but that’s the challenge Heartland Bowhunter Co-host Michael Hunsucker faced while engaged in a chess match with a giant buck he named Floppy. Oddly, the Missouri monster was quite visible over the years, which made it even more frustrating for Hunsucker when he

Regardless of whether or not you have the best gear on the market and are hunting the best properties and the best spots, none of that will matter if you’re not adequately controlling human odors. In fact, most hunters who consistently tag mature bucks will tell you that their number one tactic is hunting with the wind in their face while taking care to hide their presence by limiting human scent.

Knowing the deer exists and getting more than one chance to hang a tag on him seems like something out of a fairy tale, but that’s the position Georgia hunter Cory Croft found himself in last fall.
