Hunting Tips
Quail Hunting
Aug. 10, 2011 by Nat Stoebe---If your hunting without a dog and just pushing them as you walk make a peeping noise and sometimes you can get one to peep back to you so you know when you are about to push a covey.
Waterfowl Hunting
Aug. 25, 2011 by Wesley Koenig---Make sure to leave a landing area for birds within gun range, and don't be afraid to move decoys around if the wind shifts or birds are not cooperating the way you want them to. Mojos aren't always a good thing either. If ducks shy away from them, take them down. Number 1 tip is make sure you're well concealed and you sit still when birds are working. Also, the amount of lead varies by what kind of choke you have in your gun, what size shot, how fast the bird is flying, and how far away the bird is. If you practice shooting sporting clays in the offseason, this will come natural. Location is also key. If the birds won't work into your spread but you can see them working a spot further away, pick up and move closer!
Deer Hunting
Aug. 21, 2011 by Mike Neal---Remember to wash your hunting clothes using Sent-Away or other products you can purchase at your locale Wal-Mart. It is also a good idea to store them in an air proof plastic bag to keep any sent from getting on them after you have washed them. I have even known people to leave their clothes in the air tight plastic bag and not put them on until they are out in the field.
Coyote Hunting
Aug. 21, 2011 by Nat Stoebe---When walking into the field try walking into the wind to get to your spot so the coyotes don't get wind of you while you are getting in position. Try that spot for a little bit and move and try another spot but remember try to remain down wind.
Raccoon Hunting
Aug. 21, 2011 by Nat Stoebe---The best tip I can give you is a have a great dog that knows what he is doing in the field and you will succeed.
Rabbit Hunting
Aug. 1, 2011 by Nat Stoebe---A tip for rabbit hunting is If you jump up a rabbit out of the brush whistle to him and he will stop to listen giving you the perfect shot.
Squirrel Hunting
Aug. 21, 2011 by Nat Stoebe---Ever notice how when you are deer hunting and there are squirrels every where but when you are hunting squirrels they are no where to be found. That is because of the fact when you are deer hunting you are most likely sitting still and waiting patiently and nothing knows you are around but when you are squirrel hunting you are trying to stalk up on the little critters. Just sit relax and be patient and they will be there. If you walk and try to stalk them they know you are there way before you see them so they are hidden and blended in with their surroundings. When you are waiting patiently not only can you hear them but it gives you a better opportunity to evaluate your surroundings and turn the tables on them and use their own trick of hiding against them. Good luck.
Pheasant Hunting
July 20, 2011 by Nat Stoebe---A good tip for pheasant hunting is to relax your gun. Don't be already pulled up ready to shoot. Otherwise you are probably going to miss. But if you stay relaxed and pull your gun up to shoot after you see the bird your shot will be more accurate.
Dove Hunting
Aug. 21, 2011 by Nat Stoebe---I recommend using a Mojo Dove Decoy. They are very realistic looking and will draw the birds in closer for a better look which will give you a better shot.
Turkey Hunting
Aug. 25, 2011 by Wesley Koenig---Patience plays a huge role in turkey hunting success. I've had many hunts I busted simply because I was impatient and got up moving around. Sit still and keep your eyes open. Just because a bird doesn't gobble or you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there or it isn't coming. Don't over call. Call a little, then when the bird responds, stop calling. Let him gobble a couple more times, then call once or twice more, then put the call away. This lets him know there's a "hen" in the area but that she has no real interest in him, so he comes running to check it out. Then you can usually coax him into the decoy with a few soft purrs and clucks.
