Double trouble! Has this happened to you? You have two gobblers fired up. You can’t see them yet. One bird is out front, the other directly behind and closing fast. Tick-tock, you gotta make a decision! Watch this episode to see how Grant and Adam handle this double trouble situation. Then, we travel to Kansas with Heath and Lindsey Martin as they bow hunt the beautiful Rio-Eastern hybrid. Will Heath arrow a big tom before the storm hits? Watch and see these hunts unfold!

Tip of the Week:

Hear a hen? Try imitating her.

She’ll bring that big tom to you.

Watch this special episode! It’s youth turkey season and these kids do not disappoint. We’ve got four birds going down on camera! Plus, four very proud fathers who took their kids hunting. Congratulations to these fathers, sons and daughters.

Tip of the Week:

Scout the crop.

Harvest a turkey?

Open up the crop and learn the current favorite foods.

This might be the key that fills your next tag!

We spent a lot of time preparing for and using prescribed fire. Is prescribed fire worth the effort? Watch this episode as we checkout areas we burned late last summer. Plus, the soil will soon be warm enough for planting. How do you prepare your fall/winter plot for spring planting? We’ll explain what we do!

Tip of the Week:

Is it warm enough?

Using glyphosate on old plots: Air temp 60°

Planting seeds like soybean: Soil temp 60°

The winner is announced for an all expenses paid turkey hunt to the famous Redneck Blinds Farm! Plus, Grant explores a couple of Proving Grounds food plots where some of his techniques worked and some did not! Watch this episode as he shares the good and bad.

Where’s Adam? He and the crew are starting a new food plot based on last season’s deer encounters. Adam thinks he can pull the deer in closer to the tree stands.

Tip of the Week:

Law of The Minimum:

The ability for any critter to express their maximum genetic potential is controlled not by the total amount of resources available, but by the scarcest resource. Do what we do and ensure deer at your Proving Grounds have all the minerals they need by using all natural Trophy Rock which includes more than minerals. It’s a year round supplement, but we especially want to make sure Trophy Rock is available now when antlers and fawns are developing!

The gator man, Troy Landry, is out of the swamp and on dry ground ready to burn! Watch this episode to see the follow-up to Grant prescribing fire to improve Troy’s Kansas hunting property. Plus, there’s still time to frost seed clover. Adam demonstrates how to repair older clover plots this time of year.

Tip of the Week:

Spring: Both bucks and does crave minerals.

Strategically place some all natural Trophy Rocks.

Then add a trail camera and watch the show!

Picture this: It’s the sixteenth century, in the area now known as southeast United States, adventurers are hauling hogs with them as a source of food. Today, offspring from hogs those explorers let loose are running wild, breeding like crazy, and are a competitor of white-tailed deer. Every year hogs gain more territory into the whitetails’ range. This is trouble. Hogs will kill and eat fawns, destroy native vegetation and food plots, and compete for resources with deer and turkey. Watch this episode as we put a couple of G5 broadheads through some Florida bacon. We also have tips on how to see if your property has healthy deer habitat.

Tip of the Week:

Scouting Gobblers

Reconyx trail cameras have a time lapse feature.

Mount your camera high on a tree and use time lapse.

You’ll capture favorite strutting locations.

Smell that? Mmm, it’s roasting turkey.

Boss Osceola Down! We’ve seen Long Beard XR work to 70 yards on paper. What about 10 yards, on a real gobbler? Ouch. Watch to see a boss Osceola run to the Miss Purr-fect decoy and start strutting. You can imagine what happens!

Spring deer hunt? …Well, no, but we’ve got an awesome spring challenge for you. If you want extra power to hold fall deer then have something your neighbors do not. Spring comes a little sooner in Florida and it was a great chance for us to plant a tree plot. Sugary fruits and nuts are powerful natural attractants for deer.

Tip of the Week:

Decoy Hunting Tips

Early Season: Toms fight for dominance. Use strutting tom, with a hen or two.

Peak Breeding: Tired of fighting? A lone hen looks real good to a big ol’ tom.

Post Breeding: Tricky to hunt, try multiple hen spreads.

There’s a lot of talk about Winchester’s Long Beard XR and for good reason. These revolutionary shells have changed the landscape of turkey hunting. This season, Winchester may have taken the Long Beard a step further with the new Long Beard XR Magnum. Watch this episode as we put the new magnum to the test. Plus, have you considered a hunting co-op for you and your neighbors? We did! Watch as the Branson Deer Co-op has its first gathering.

Tip of the Week:

Late winter prescribed burning will make excellent turkey nesting & bugging habitat this spring. Prescribed fire now, for excellent hunting soon!

It’s brutal outside these days! Right now the deer are really putting pressure on late winter food plots. If you discover your plots are coming up short, Grant has a successful food plot recipe that will help your deer survive these cold conditions.

Turkey season is right around the corner and we’re getting pumped up about it! The new Winchester shotguns are in, so we’re headed to Bass Pro to get the Nikon scopes mounted and ready for opening day!

Tip of the Week:

Have Your Plots Succeeded?

This winter has provided some tough conditions.  It’s the ideal test for your late winter plots. Now’s the time to check your plots, learn where they’ve worked and where they haven’t. If you’re not satisfied, watch this episode for better food plots next winter.

It’s a great time of year for using prescribed fire on your proving grounds. The benefits of fire are huge! Properly used, fire promotes native forage, cover and kills ticks! North and east facing slopes can be difficult to burn, but the dormant season (right now) is your best bet to get good results. Caution: Fire is never satisfied. Watch this episode as we take you from start to finish on a dormant season prescribed fire!
