Heading out to do some preseason scouting for the best places to put up a tree stand? Don’t forget your compass. Assuming you know where you’re going, you won’t need the compass to get home. But you will need it to properly place the stand so you won’t be blinded by the sun at dawn or dusk. When you find a likely spot, pull out the compass to determine east and west. This may seem obvious, but a lot of scouting is done in the middle of the day and the obvious might not occur to you—until you’re on stand, squinting into the sun.

I was on Field & Streams website this evening and came across a pretty fun game that helps to kill a few moments – check it out on their website http://www.fieldandstream.com/rifleman/rifleman.php
So archery season is almost upon us and now is the time to make sure your archery gear is in tip top shape for this whitetail deer season. If you are like most of us, this deer season might be one where the budget is tight. So I have put together three items for this deer season that most every deer hunter could afford.

A Texas motto is: “It’s like a whole other country.” Here in West Texas, it’s really “like a whole other world,” but a deer hunters paradise in every sense.
Texas is home to the largest herd of whitetail deer in the United States and is estimated at over 4.5 million deer. The Lone Star State is also known for producing some of the largest trophy whitetail bucks in the country. So how can a hunting outfitter in West Texas boast to being the best kept secret in Texas? Lets find out. Read the rest of this entry »
Aging Whitetail Deer
Aug 18
We came across a pretty interesting service that hutning clubs, wildlife managers and animal stewards would find very helpful. Here is some information on this service and we encourage you to learn a little more about them.
Deer Aging by Wildlife Analytical Laboratories
Are you ready to take the guessing game out of aging your whitetail deer?
Common sense and experience tell you that looking at the wear on the molars of a mammal’s jaw will not tell you the actual age of a deer (or elk, moose, sheep, etc.). Sure, if they are worn more, the deer was older; worn less, younger; but only if the deer were eating the same food at the same location. Read the rest of this entry »
There are a lot of different hunting knives out there – some made for looks and some made for work. There are also plenty of rugged, good looking production knives as well, but we set out to find some of the best looking custom hunting knives that are also capable of being workhorses. This list wasn’t meant to single out any style of hunting knife either – from gut hooks to skinning knives we included a little bit of everything. So here they are in no particular order.
There are a lot of trail cameras on the market for deer hunters these days, some inexpensive and some out of this world. Not everyone can afford the super high end cameras and if you can, most wouldn’t want to leave them for fear of theft – but that’s for a whole ‘other topic. But being able to see the whitetails on your property while you aren’t there is critical. What time of day and the temperature are components that are great to know as well.
Are you looking for an expensive way to attract wildlife or whitetail deer without necessarily going through the expenses and maintenance of food plots? If so, then I can easily recommend one of several Moultrie Game Feeders as I have used them for years on my property.
I hunt mainly hardwoods and pines with very little browse for the deer to feed on. Plus trying to get equipment in out isn’t to easy to setup a food plot and I don’t own an ATV. I purchased several of the 6.5 gallon feeders with the photocell and set them up in key areas using a variety of different whitetail deer pellets and food. Also supplement these areas with minerals as well.
Not only does this knife look incredible but it is expertly developed by Crucible Steel for Cabela’s. This knife is very versatile skinning knife, with a fixed blade length of 4 and ¼ inches and overall length of just over 8 inches and 7.2 ounces in weight.
Its going to feel great and be well balanced in your hand, making skinning out your next whitetail deer a breeze.
