Risk Versus Reward: Hunting Turkey Roosts

1 month ago | realtree.com | Darron McDougal

Remember, if you can see a gobbler, he can see you. Use pre-dawn darkness to slip close to a roost, and call sparingly. Photo by Jeffrey B. Banke. Dawn loomed as I slipped through the dew-coated pasture grass. About 9 a.m. the previous day, I had glassed a gobbler strutting in the pasture, and I thought for sure he’d be back there. Yet, the lack of gobbles as I approached the gargantuan maple tree where the bird had been the previous morning had me second-guessing the spot. Still, I continued on.
The Anatomy of a Deadly Archery Turkey Setup

Gobblers can be tough to anchor with a bow and broadhead. Having the right equipment helps your cause. Photo by Darron McDougal. Two gobblers sounded off from the towering maple trees about 60 yards away as I carefully entered my ground blind in the pre-dawn darkness. About 20 minutes later, the birds landed 100 yards away, where they gobbled and strutted. I coaxed them with a few soft calls. In they came.
What to Look for in a New Turkey Gun

Turkey guns are specialized tools. Many of today’s sub-gauge guns throw incredible patterns, but are lightweight and easy to carry. Realtree imageI’d just hopped off my e-bike and was about to cut and yelp when a gobbler boomed a few hundred yards away. Instead of calling from where I was, I slipped down a logging road to within 200 yards of the boisterous bird. On a ridge top, I scuttled off the logging road, parked my hinder against an old maple, and began calling.
Hacks for Hunting Pressured Coyotes

Jan 20, 2025 | realtree.com | Brad Fitzpatrick

Coyotes are highly adaptable and can survive in a wide variety of habitats, including urban areas. Photo by Krista Marie T. I suppose somewhere there might be a patch of land where coyotes have never been hunted and run full tilt toward a distress call at midday, but I’ve never seen such a place. One factor that has bolstered the coyote’s amazing success as a species during the past century is that these canids have learned to live in proximity to humans while avoiding danger.
Hunting With The Federal 7mm Backcountry

Jan 7, 2025 | realtree.com | Will Brantley

Many veteran hunters and shooters view new cartridges with one part curiosity to three parts skepticism. Sure, new rounds are cool, but do we really need them, given that it’s still difficult to find ammo for some of the proven classics? And, can any new cartridge really satisfy some need that an existing round doesn’t already have covered? In the case of Federal’s new 7mm Backcountry (7 BC for short), the answer is actually yes.
Big-Game Draws: Where Have All the OTC Tags Gone?

Jan 6, 2025 | realtree.com | Darron McDougal

Author Darron McDougal enjoyed a great hunt this past September in Colorado after cashing in five preference points to draw an archery deer tag in a quality game management unit. Photo courtesy of Becca McDougal. It was my fourth attempt at stalking two mature velvet muley bucks on the steep, rocky Colorado slopes. On previous days, I’d gotten within shooting range of the bucks twice, but unexpected 180-degree wind shifts betrayed me, and the bucks slipped away like water through a clenched fist.
6 Reasons Why You’re Not Finishing Ducks

Jan 1, 2025 | realtree.com | Brian Lovett

Pay close attention to how the first birds of the day react to your setup and calling. If they don’t commit, you might need to tweak your approach. Photo by Eduardo Estellez. Whether you hunt green timber, pit blinds, or dry fields, finishing ducks in your decoys marks the pinnacle of success. And finishing doesn’t just mean that birds swing within shotgun range.

Your hunting strategy from mid-December through the end of the season must center on food. Photo by Bruce MacQueen. The calendar has flipped to Thanksgiving, and you’re starting to worry. You’ve hunted hard for two months, but still no buck. Will it be tag soup this year? Maybe not, so long as you keep your spirits up and keep grinding. Your predicament might seem dire, but it’s actually an opportunity. You still get to hunt more days, and there are still shooter bucks in the woods.
Use Rut Science to Get Your Buck

Nov 20, 2024 | realtree.com | Mike Hanback

A Mississippi State Deer Lab study found that each day during hunting season, mature bucks use several bedding and resting areas rather than one major sanctuary. Photo by Tony Campbell. When deer scientists talk, I listen with an open mind. Men and women who make a career out of studying whitetails don’t do it for fame or money.
5 Ways to Ruin a Deer Hunt

Oct 2, 2024 | realtree.com | Darron McDougal

Are you making the same mistakes again and again and ruining your deer hunts? Realtree photo. Mistakes. We’re humans, and we make them to the detriment of our success. Maturing as a hunter is a lot like maturing as a football player. Coaches and players review the films and analyze the mistakes. The players learn (hopefully) from their mistakes and don’t make them again, or at least make them less frequently, and they become more effective on the field.
