East Tennessee Mountain Bird

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Josh Kaywood

The day before my “unplanned” hunt, I was at a customer’s Block Plant in Chattanooga. My customer asked if I had my hunting gear with me. “Yes sir!” I replied. He said he would get someone to show me where their lease was so that I could hunt that afternoon and/or the next morning. The place was flooded with tracks. So much it looked like a velociraptor pen. I finally started hearing a few gobbles before dark. I had to step aside for a few minutes to record a “Strut Report” for the ...

Turkey Huntin' Out East

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Joey Bell

My friend Steven Locke and his buddy Kenneth came down to hunt around middle Tennessee. After some unsuccessful tries on Public Land, we headed out Saturday morning to the place in Dunlap where I had been a couple days before. We parked and started walking and calling every now and then. We finally struck a turk off to our left. We quickly set up our decoys. Locke and Kenneth had to lay on the side of the road on their bellies like they were waiting on Yankee Troops to come over the ...

An OK Turkey Trip

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Joey Bell

April 25 – May 1, 2020 Oklahoma Me and my buddies’ adventures this spring would take us to Western Oklahoma for some hard-gobbling Rio Grande Turkeys. Jacob was able to get out there a day before me and do a little scouting and was able to put eyes on at least one gobbler, but turkeys turned out to be scarce in those parts. The afternoon I arrived, we worked a creek bottom nearby where Jacob had seen the tom, but we found no sign and heard zero gobbles. The next morning, we switched ...

Understanding Fox Squirrels

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Nick Hendricks

When I decided to try out hunting, my only real goal was to get into the woods. At most, when I strained my imagination and desires, I knew that one day I wanted to take down a big game animal with a traditional bow. But without getting ahead of myself, I needed to find a species to target which I could come across easily, cheaply and with some chance of success. While to most seasoned hunters reading this, squirrel hunting probably is the “No, duh” answer, for an adult onset guy starting ...

Hog Hunt

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Maurice Miller

As the alarm was going off, I looked over at my buddies and said “We gotta find better hobbies. I mean who gets up a couple hours before daylight to go mess around in freezing temps. Hell, best case scenario we’re a long ways and downhill from the truck and have to drag dogs and a stinkin pig out….” We’d woken up many times before in the dark ready to go, from when we first met, as enlisted men. Just a couple Jarheads and a Corpsman ready to run through whatever came in front of us… The ...

Winter 2021 Colorado Chapter News

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: David Lien

Colorado recently lost a strong voice for wildlands and wildlife when BHA member Kent Ingram passed away (on Aug. 28). Kent was a consummate hunter-angler-conservationist and his lifetime of advocacy on behalf of our wild public lands, waters and wildlife—while always going out of his way to recognize and facilitate the conservation work of others—speaks volumes about his character. “He was such a strong voice for wildlife and ‘everyday joe sportsmen,’ as he would put it,” said BHA ...

Braised Squirrel

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: James Hasley

It’s small game hunting season! Hunting squirrels and rabbits this time of year is exciting, accessible and can often be done successfully with friends. While incorporating the basic tenets of hunting including patience, stealth and marksmanship, small game hunting can also include conversations, camaraderie and a great sense of exploration of our public lands with friends. A day in pursuit of bushytails can yield several meals of wild game, the processing of which is an easy entry point for ...

Seasonal Goals: Springtime in Penn’s Woods

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Pennsylvania BHA

By Aaron Hepler For some people, hunting season ends after the whitetail gun season closes. Until next September, many hunters won't give a thought of stepping foot in the woods. Don’t miss out on the privilege of exploring PA’s 4-plus million acres of publicly owned land. Late winter and early spring are the absolute best time to be in the woods scouting, and purely enjoying time outside. More importantly, no matter what you’re hunting, this is when almost anything we can hunt begins its ...
