While the focus of trail cams is hopefully on deer, hunters often find other critters on the images. This can be fun and even beneficial, since full-scale comprehensive game management of any given hunting property has to encompass the full spectrum of wildlife species. This means also understanding and appreciating the impact these other animals have on the deer population. […]
Kerry French has had his share of frustration from trail cameras, and not just for failure of capturing deer photos. […]
Trail cameras just take photographs. They are not a magic bullet and will not make you a better hunter.
However, they can yield vital deer herd profile information, and this data can be very revealing for a landowner, game manager, and certainly a deer hunter. This photo information can make hunters better game managers, and in turn become more successful deer hunter as well. […]
Now is not the time to sit idly by once you have your food plots planted for the fall deer hunting season. There is still plenty of work to do especially if you have an established deer camp with a campground, cabins, trailers and other camp infrastructure in need of annual maintenance, repair, or replacement.

As they often say, “It’s hard to argue with success.” Having said that, sometimes we forget how much effort, sweat, skin and sheer frustration goes into making something work really well. […]
While putting away my cleaned-up deer camp coolers in the garage last month, I noticed my stack of fishing rods and reels leaning up in the corner. […]
As the ladies continue to swell the ranks of the hunting camps and woods afield all over the country, the guys are starting to wake up to the natural skills that female hunters possess. […]
It was nearly dark when the black ghost finally materialized around from the back of a big oak. We had been working that gobbler one of many ways since early afternoon. […]
It is definitely not time to put away your shotgun or .22 rimfire rifle.
Hunters these days tend to wrap things up after deer season is over. It’s like they never look at the hunting season schedule to see that small-game hunting is still open until the end of February. […]
