If you send in pictures I will post on our site as well as putting some of the best pictures on all our sites. Things I am looking for, but not limited to.

• Gear: Clothes, utility tools, ATV’s…
• Favorite weapons: guns, bows, sticks, stones…

All I need is a digital picture in any PC compatible format and a description of the picture. You can make the description as long or short as you would like. If there is a story behind the picture we would love to hear about it.

15 Spring Turkey Questions Answered By The Pros

By Scott Ellis

Spring gobbler season is now on the horizon and felt it was time to touch on some important questions that are asked frequently by turkey hunters across the nation. I have enlisted the assistance of two my friends Sadler McGraw and Chris Kirby to aid in answering the questions. We will all shed different light with our opinions on these commonly inquired about topics.

Sadler McGraw has established himself as one of the most prolific competition callers in the last decade. He is a member of the Woodhaven Custom Calls Sting Team since it‘s inception five years ago. His list of accolades includes, 14 Alabama state titles, Yellville National and Southern Open Champion. As well he has been runner up at the World, Grand Nationals, US Open and Grand America calling competitions. He is also no stranger to friction divisions winning the 2008 World, 2008 Yellville National and 2007 US Open. He has won or placed in over 50 contests, including owl hooting divisions. Read more

One of the most asked questions about hunting the wild turkey is “when do I call and how often?” I feel that there is an art to calling turkeys. It’s all based on feeling him out and knowing what he wants to hear. How do you know this? Well I think it will come to you the more you work gobblers in different scenarios. Right off the roost, mid morning with hens, with out hens, public land bird, private land bird. In my opinion, whether calling a hot to trot two year old or a four year old hard hunted public bird, it’s a matter of getting his attention and keeping his interest just enough to get him to investigate. If you over call him, he will stand his ground and wait for this hot hen to meet him for their rendezvous. If you under call him, he will move off to the next hot item. Read more

Guided Missouri Duck Hunting

Because of lenient regulations, liberal bag limits, inexpensive license fees, location along the Mississippi flyway, and large quantities of many duck species, Missouri duck hunting is popular among waterfowl hunters. According to Jim Low of the Missouri Department of Conservation (mo.gov, 08/19/07), surveys have determined that the estimated number of ducks has increased 14% since last year and is the 5th highest since 1955. During the duck hunting season, they can be hunted from a half hour before sunrise until sunset. Ducks frequent flooded soybean and rice fields, which we offer seasonal leases for. Read more

Rattlin’ The Alders

This story happened during the last week of November, in 1992. It was a beautiful day, with a foot of snow to hunt on, and my son, Jim; son-in-law, Blane Morse; and myself, decided we would go down to Dead Man’s Curve, in West Paris, to see if we could find any deer. We were especially interested in finding the where-a-bouts of a big buck, who had been frequenting the area for the past ten days. His tracks were huge, so we assumed it was an older buck, in full rut, seeking out the several does that lived in that lowland area. Read more

Headline: There’s more to rabbit hunting than killing rabbits, a fact even children can understand.

One of my favorite hunting photos shows my son Zach, age six, mugging for the camera while trying to hold three big swamp rabbits. He’s wearing some old coveralls and an orange stocking cap, and he’s muddy from head to toe. Read more
