This point hit home a couple of weeks ago as I noticed the familiar honey-combed formation of a few bluegill beds just starting to take shape at an area pond. Last week I noticed a lot more beds in this pond, with noticeable spawning activity taking place.

A turkey hunt in Tennessee a few years ago proved one thing that I have long been a believer of – although not necessarily a fan of – that in order to be consistent at shooting wise old gobblers, more often than not, calling to them can sometimes ruin your hunt.

by Joe Martino, The Pulse: Exploring an answer to a question that seems to be on more and more people’s minds. Is Humanity on A Self-Terminating Path?

On a lot of late season hunts, I tend to opt-out on using decoys.

A turkey hunt in Tennessee a few years ago proved one thing that I have long been a believer of - although not necessarily a fan of - that in order to be consistent at taking wise old gobblers, more often than not, calling to them can sometimes ruin your hunt. Now, this goes against everything I love in a traditional turkey hunt. I mean, I love the classic set-up where you get to do a lot of calling and the toms are quick to fire back and eager to close the gap into shooting range.
