Mossberg ATR Deer THUG Rifle

Mossberg

North Haven, CT --(Ammoland.com)- Introduced in 2004 and proudly built in the USA, the Mossberg ATR (All-Terrain Rifle) bolt-action has earned the reputation as a dependable, accurate and affordable centerfire rifle with premium features.

Now in conjunction with the release of Mossy Oak’s Deer THUGS TV series, Mossberg is pleased to announce a line of ATR Deer THUG rifles.

Available in three widely-popular calibers: .243 Win, .270 Win and .30-06 Sprg, each rifle features Mossy Oak Break-Up® Infinity™ camouflaged stocks and the “Deer THUGS” logo laser-engraved on the receiver. Honoring the THUGS (Today’s Hunters United for Good) moniker, Mossy Oak donates a portion of the proceeds from their Deer THUGS merchandise sales to the Wounded Warrior Project.

At the core of the ATR rifle is an all-steel machined receiver for a positive lock-up and smooth, solid bolt-operation; free-floating, button-rifled fluted barrel with protective recessed muzzle crown, constructed of durable carbon steel; weather-resistant, classic-styled synthetic stock fully camouflaged with Break-Up Infinity; and integral top-loading magazine with five-round total capacity for reliable feeding and ease of loading/unloading.

Standard on the ATR Deer THUG rifles, and all ATR models, is Mossberg’s patent-pending, user-adjustable LBA™ (Lightning Bolt Action™) Trigger System. The durable machined trigger assembly is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum which undergoes a hard-coat anodization to minimize corrosion and wear. The LBA’s unique skeletonized lightning bolt trigger blade blocks the sear from releasing the striker until the blade is fully depressed. This sear engagement design provides for a creep-free trigger. Trigger pull can be adjusted from 2 to 7 pounds with a standard screwdriver.

Other value-added features include factory-installed, Weaver-style two-piece scope bases; stock and forend sling swivel studs; and sling.

Now you can hunt with the same premium bolt-action rifles that the most-experienced, whitetail-savvy hunters take afield – the Mossberg ATR Deer THUG centerfire rifle in .243 Win, .270 Win and .30-06 Sprg!

Mossy Oak

WEST POINT, MS --(Ammoland.com)- Question: What do you look for when scouting for places to hunt ducks and geese?
Answer: It depends on if I am hunting public or on private land. Typically if you are hunting public land, your area of scouting is a lot larger. When I am on public land I will look for areas where birds are grouping up to rest. Typically in public land scenarios the birds are pressured a lot. So if you can find the spot that they feel comfortable relaxing, then that is where I would try to set up.

Private land is a lot different because you are restricted to the area of land that you are leasing or have permission to hunt. However, this makes your scouting much easier because you do not have to cover as much ground to find that special spot. Hopefully, the area you are on has birds using it. If so, just keep an eye on them for 2 or 3 days before you decide to hunt that spot. You should start to quickly see when and where they are feeding or resting on your land.

Mossy Oak Pro Staff Member Cory Dukehart

Question: How do you decide on your decoy placement for ducks?
Answer:I have tried all different set ups for ducks in a lot of different scenarios, and I do things differently depending on if I am hunting ducks alone or ducks and geese together. All waterfowl like to land into the wind. When hunting ducks only, I will always set up with the wind at my back.

This will help get the birds to land into your face and shooting zone and not behind you. You can try any variety of the “U,” “J” hook, or “C” pattern shapes. I have not found one to be better than the other in my opinion. Any pattern that allows the birds to land into the wind and gives them an open spot to aim for is worth trying. When I am targeting both ducks and geese at the same time, typically my goose decoys out number my duck decoys drastically. I will usually set up my goose decoys first and then, on the inside of my target area for the geese, I will place the duck decoys on the edge of the geese closest to where I am located. This will help draw the ducks within range, but not push the geese out of the hole.

Question: Do you use different decoy patterns when setting up? Do you change the spread during the hunt?
Answer: My decoy patterns depend solely on the wind. I set up depending on the wind direction and speed. A very light wind allows you to be a little bit more lenient with your pattern direction, whereas a fast strong wind you have to follow it exactly if you want good shots.

I will absolutely change my spread throughout the hunt. A lot of people do not like to get out of their blinds to make a change to the spread due to the lost time and the possibility of losing birds that may come to work the spread while you are in it. But, if you are seeing a negative trend from the birds you need to do something, or you will probably watch them repeat that trend all day long.

What I mean is, if you watch a few flocks work your spread really well, giving you 2 or 3 circles and each time they are looking more and more like they are ready for that final decent. If all of a sudden the lead bird flares and they slide on off the horizon, then something isn’t right. It could be a number of different things that are causing this but one thing is certain, unless you change something you will have that same issue again. Get out and move the decoys around. Re-check the wind to see if it has changed.

If the birds are working behind you and you are forced to make uncomfortable shots change the spread so that you are looking at the zone where they are trying to land. Losing 15-20 minutes of the hunt making a change is going to be much more rewarding than sitting there and dealing with a small issue all day.

Question: Do you use layout blinds when field hunting for ducks & geese? If so, where do you place them in your decoy spread?
Answer: I do use layout blinds in some situations for both ducks and geese. Typically I will place my blinds right in the middle of my spread facing the landing zone with the wind at my back. I try to thicken up the decoys in that area to help hide my blind.

Question: How do you conceal your blind and hunting area?
Answer:

• Pit blinds – Rake up existing vegetation and tie or fasten it to the top of your pit. You may have to do this a few times throughout the season.
• Above ground – Most above ground blinds are either in standing corn or hedge rows. For corn fields use some of the left over stalks to help hide the blind. If it is a hedge row, you can use any type of tree or bush.
• Boat – If you have a blind on your boat, anchor your boat up against an existing land structure and use as much of the natural vegetation around you to help hide the boat. If you are exiting the boat and hunting from the land, make sure you have a couple of large brown or camo burlap fabric pieces and drape it over the boat.
• Layout – First thing you should do to every layout blind is put mud all over it. Let the mud dry and then knock it off. This will take the shine off of the fabric on the blind. Then, attach whatever you are hiding into the loops that should be connecting to your blind.
• Your dog – The best way is to purchase a dog blind and then follow the process for the layout blind.

Question: What are your basic calling tips for ducks?
Answer: Most people make the mistake of calling at ducks too much. In most cases, I think less is more with ducks. Give them just enough pecking and clucking and a few quacks are typically all it takes especially in high pressured areas.

Question: What are your basic calling tips for geese?
Answer: With geese I am much more vocal on the call. But I am always watching how the birds are reacting to the call. Some days it seems as if they don’t want to hear anything at all and others you need to be giving them something until their feet are about to touch the ground. Watch the lead goose in the flock and see how that bird is reacting to your sounds. If they are continuing to come to a certain note, stick with that sound. If you do something different and one of the geese in the middle or towards the back starts to break off, continue with that sound. Sometimes you may be able to pull just a few instead of the whole group.

Question: How can I be a more consistent shooter on ducks & geese?
Answer: Practice is really the only answer to this question. No gun, shell, or choke tube is going to fix problems that practice can’t. Shooting clay targets do not always replicate the shooting scenarios that waterfowlers encounter, but you can get used to wing shooting by practicing this way.

Question: Do you use different chokes in your shotgun depending on the type of hunting?
Answer: I do. I have about 4 different choke tubes that I use in different situations. In reality they are not that different from each other but if I know I am going to be focusing on a specific size of bird, I will most certainly change my tube accordingly.

Question: How can I attract waterfowl to private property?
Answer: The two most important things for any good waterfowl property are food and water. If you can build a pond or flood a field, you are setting yourself up nicely to have birds using your land all day long. As far as food goes, there are several options you can plant from Mossy Oak BioLogic that are geared towards ducks and geese. But most fields have been planted with crops that have since been harvested and those fields will almost always attract hungry ducks and geese.

Question: How do you introduce youth to waterfowl hunting?
Answer: One of the best ways to getting a kid involved in hunting waterfowl is to actually let him contribute to the hunt. Let him go retrieve the birds if you are in a field, or let him send the dog. A great way to really let a youngster think he/she is really helping out is to give him a duck whistle. These whistles are very inexpensive, and can be bought anywhere hunting equipment is sold. You can reproduce the sounds of about 6 different ducks on this whistle and it will hardly ever spook a duck.

Mossy Oak

WEST POINT, MS --(Ammoland.com)- Q: What time of the year do you do your scouting?

A:My scouting is done 365, 24-7. I divide my yearly scouting into thirds. The first trimester starts in the beginning of April and last through August. The first four months of this third, April, May, June and July, my scouting efforts are almost exclusively through the eyes of trail cameras strategically positioned over mineral licks.

The bucks’ antlers are starting to show promise at this time but not to the extent that you can tell which buck is which from the previous hunting seasons. As August approaches and the deer are hitting natural food sources like corn, soy and alfalfa, I add a few cameras to the arsenal in the travel corridors heading toward those areas.

Mossy Oak Pro Staff Member Mike Monteleone

The second trimester is September, October, and November. At this time the deer have sprouted their antlers to full potential and have distinguished characteristics. Trail Cameras are still used but moved from mineral licks to travel routes, food plots, crop fields, acorn flats and bait stations (dependent upon game laws in each state). By this time each deer can be recognized from prior years or you’ll see new deer that moved in from other areas. Each deer is cataloged and noted. As the trail cams are taking photos 24-7 in dense cover, long range scouting where possible is done at dusk with spotting scopes and binoculars. When late September and early October arrives and the acorns are littering the ground, 50 percent of 30 trail cameras are then moved and strategically positioned to take photos of oaks that are about 12-15 inches in diameter. My experience has taught me that these trees attract more deer than the smaller or larger trees. Archery seasons in the East, specifically Maryland and Delaware, starts in September, so while the trail cameras are scouting these oak flats I’m normally in a tree hunting. But more importantly, I’m observing for hunting the month of November.

November – Need I say more! Obviously hunting is the priority during this month. November is in my second trimester of scouting but not the current November – it is November from the previous hunting season that is so important here. Ninety percent of my November scouting is done from an elevated hunting position or from low-impact scouting as I walked to and from my treestand the year before. In general, bucks of all ages will have the same habits the current year as their predecessors the years before. And if you’re lucky, and a “hit-list” buck you spotted the prior year may return and give you a chance that you didn’t get before.

The third trimester begins in December and lasts through March. Some older bucks are still searching for receptive does in December but for the most part they have returned to their wintering grounds. Bucks are trying to replenish the fat and muscle loss from the strenuous rut so scouting is done at a distance with binoculars when possible and hunting over late season food sources in states where hunting seasons are still active.

When the cold weather hits in January and the hunting pressure is minimal due to most hunters taking refuge in front of the fireplace, you can bet the bucks will be hitting the food wherever they can find it. I set up cameras on the edges of the thickest cover bordering natural food sources, crop fields and food plots.

My February, March and the beginning of April scouting is done via foot in all areas of my hunting grounds, including bedding areas and designated sanctuaries. Shed hunting is the key to locating the core areas of bucks you have been hunting and will be hunting in the coming year. You will lay a lot of shoe leather but it is necessary in determining which bucks survived the hunting season and brutal winter.

Q: Do you use trail cameras to help you scout?

A:Yes, they are important in my scouting techniques as mentioned above.

Q: Do you use food plots or other food type attractants?

A:Yes, food plots, mineral licks, crop fields and oaks.

Q: How do you hunt big bucks before the rut and early in the bow season?

A:September and October hunting strategies are based on prior scouting methods, usually by hunting over food sources or on travel corridors to and from food sources. Bucks are still in bachelor groups and still somewhat calm. Contrary to popular belief, big bucks can be patterned for a brief period of time in early September. If you are lucky enough to hunt a state that allows bowhunitng in September; this is the time to ambush a big buck before he sheds his velvet. After their velvet is shed, mature bucks normally go underground and can be found at food sources in thick cover before dark. Mature bucks wait for the cover of darkness before entering open crop fields so hunting a travel route in between a staging area and a crop field is the way to go when hunting afternoons and evenings. Morning hunting setups should be similar – ambush a buck as he leaves a crop field or before he goes to bed by hunting a travel route in between the two. As Late October approaches start hunting the downwind side of doe bedding areas. The last week of October is when the larger bucks appear in daylight, so think about hunting from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the next two weeks.

Q: How do you hunt scrapes during the pre-rut?

A:I don’t hunt scrapes just to hunt a scrapes. I feel the chances of a big buck showing himself before dark at a scrape are slim to none. And Slim just left town. So that being said, I hunt downwind of a known food source and make my own mock scrapes about 40 yards upwind of my stand location. Normally, I hunt these areas only in the afternoons and evenings. During this phase of the rut, a buck’s priority is to feed first then mate so morning hunting is not a priority of mine. Until the chase phase kicks in, I believe that most big bucks are in bed before we get out of bed so I’m sleeping in!

Q: Do you use scent control products?

A:Definitively! Scent control products, whether carbon or anti-microbial clothing or scent reducing sprays or the like will never eliminate all of your human odor, but they do minimize a human’s scent tremendously. So much so, that if a buck decides to appear unexpectedly downwind of your location, he may feel that his enemy is further away than he thinks and it may give you that extra second that you need to pull off the shot. Or, if an unexpected wind shift or thermal sends your scent in a forbidden direction, you may go undetected by the skittish doe that has a buck in tow. Scent control products will give you that extra edge.

Q: How important is wind direction when deciding where to hunt?

A:You should always have wind direction in your favor. A deer’s first defense is through its sense of smell, especially if it is a mature deer. I’m sure I’ve been busted by a buck and didn’t even know it. On many occasions I’ve watched a buck cross my track hours after I walked on a trail, jump out of his skin and bolt in the opposite direction. I’ve also watched younger bucks walk the same trail I walked smelling every step I took, eventually to learn that the trail was getting stronger the closer he got and move in the opposite direction.If a mature buck catches your scent in any form, be assured you won’t see him walking in your direction. He’ll be heading south in most cases.

Q: What is your favorite time of the hunting season to hunt?

A:I love to hunt whitetails no matter the time of year. The key is to change strategies as the year progresses to maximize your success and your enjoyment. An individual’s hunting season is full of ups and downs and if you keep at it the entire season, you’ll maximize your chance of success.

Karl has been married for 30 years. He and his wife have four children, three daughters and one son. Their combined family interests are hunting, horseback riding, snowmobiling, hiking, sailing, rock climbing, snowboarding, camping and fishing.

Q: Should I hunt Western Big Game on my own or with a guide or outfitter?
A: Many premium hunting areas are in wilderness areas, which require a licensed guide. Additionally, a guide will know the area and game habits.

Q: If I need a guide, how do I find a good one?
A: Request a guide and outfitter directory from the state association. Make sure the guide is licensed, ask for referrals, and call the referrals.

Q: I hear that a lot of Western outfitters are ranchers. Do they make good guides?
A: Many do. They hike the country on horseback and are familiar with the country like where water is and game habits.

Q: How much research should I do before booking a hunt out West or in Canada?
A: A lot of research! These hunts cost money and could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Q: Is fitness as important as I hear when it comes to hunting out West?
A: Absolutely! High elevation, steep terrain and short, hard days require fitness.

Q: Are combination hunts worth it? Example: Deer/Elk, Bear/Caribou or Moose/Goat.
A: Yes, if you have the time. Tags are expensive and you want to make sure you have enough time to get something on the ground.

Q: Can I hunt big game out West with the same set up I use back East for hunting, either bow or gun?
A: No. Western game like elk, deer, moose and sheep all have different habits and instincts.

Q: I hunt back East with a bow and only shoot 20-30 yards. Do I have to practice and be able to shoot out to 50 yards and beyond?
A: Yes, you need to practice shooting at longer distances.

Q: What is the industry standard for tipping your guide or outfitter?
A: 10-15%. You may also want to tip other help like the cook.

WEST POINT, MS --(Ammoland.com)- Mossy Oak has joined Delta Waterfowl for 2011 to support research initiatives, aid mentorship programs and establish a stewardship award.

“Delta Waterfowl’s mission is to provide knowledge, leaders and science-based solutions that efficiently conserve waterfowl and secure the future for waterfowl hunting,” said Bill Sugg, President of Mossy Oak.

“Supporting Delta Waterfowl is our way, in a sense, to keep the sport alive. Some of my fondest memories were in a duck blind, and we’re happy to partner with Delta for the future of waterfowl and waterfowl hunting.”

“Mossy Oak is supporting two very important initiatives on behalf of duck hunters. First Hunt and the waterfowl satisfaction research supported by Mossy Oak are tangible examples of Mossy Oak’s leadership in serving their duck hunter members. Both projects are critical in arresting the decline in waterfowl hunter numbers and participation and we are very grateful for this support,” notes Delta’s Senior V.P. John Devney.

“Mossy Oak owes its roots to wild turkeys,” said Toxey Haas, Founder and CEO of Mossy Oak.

We are proud to partner with an organization that truly has passion combined with an unbelievable staff and an army of the most dedicated conservation organization volunteers in the nation.”

Mossy Oak

WEST POINT, MS --(Ammoland.com)- Q: What is a good call for beginners?
A: For ducks, I typically recommend double reed calls. The double reed duck call is what I call the training wheels of duck calls. Now this doesn’t mean that a veteran should not blow a double reed, but they are easier to learn on in my opinion. The double reed allows the caller to lean on the call more and give it more air without the fear of slipping a bad or scratch note.

For geese, I would start out with and continue to use short reeds. There are a few manufacturers out there who make great flute style calls, and in the right hands they can be deadly. But in my opinion the easier style to learn and continue to progress on is the short reed style goose call.

Q: How can I learn how and when to call?
A: Learning how to call is a lot easier than learning when to call. To learn how to call takes nothing but practice and lots of it. These days there are endless websites with calling instructions and online lessons. There is also an abundance of calling instructional DVDs/CDs on the market. If you do not have someone who you can practice with to help you correct bad habits, I would recommend purchasing one of these DVDs or CDs and listening to the sounds that the caller is making. If you have access to a local refuge or park, it doesn’t hurt to go and listen to the best teachers of all, the birds themselves.

Learning when to call is a completely different story. And no one can really teach it to you. The only way to learn when to call takes time in the field watching the birds.

Mossy Oak Pro Staff Member Cory Dukehart

Q: What is the best way to set up if I only have a limited number of decoys?
A: Having a limited amount of decoys to use is not always a bad thing depending where you are in the country and the time of the year you are hunting them. One of the best ways to use a smaller amount of decoys is in the early season. I would set them up in small family groups, 3 or 4 birds per group, and then about 10-15 yards away another small family group.

Q: What is your favorite way to hunt ducks?
A: My favorite way to hunt ducks is in a field from a lay down blind. There is nothing like working in a group of about 20 mallards and having them practically land right on top of you before you call the shot.

Q: What do you do if ducks or geese are “short stopping” your decoy spread?
A: One thing to do is to jump on your call really hard and fast. Get really excited on the call. This doesn’t always work, but I have had success with it in the past. Typically it will pick the birds back up and allow them to drift the few extra yards you need to make the shot. The key to this is to make sure you do it before they actually land. If you see the birds about to set down on the edge of your spread outside of gun range, make sure you hit them with the call then before they get on the ground. Once they are on the ground, there is not a whole lot you can do to get them closer.

Q: What is the best call to use for pressured or “call shy” ducks?
A: I don’t know there really is a good call for “call shy” ducks. If you have to blow a call make sure it’s a quiet one and use it very sporadically. I would try to stick with slow, relaxed sounds, single quacks, pecking and clucking. If the ducks are call shy and everyone hunting around you is calling a lot, your best move might just be to shut up and see what they do with silence. They might just come right to you.

WEST POINT, MS --(Ammoland.com)- Deer Hunting Interview with Mossy Oak Pro Staff Member Mike Monteleone

Q: How important is pre-season scouting?
A: Post-season is the most important time to find the hideaway habits and travel routes of big deer. However, pre-season is the time to fine tune your game plan when trying to seal the deal on a mature whitetail in a new season, especially if your season starts in early September as in some cases in the east and south.

During early September the bucks are still in bachelor groups and very easy to pattern. My best pre-season scouting tactics consist of a hand full of trail cameras and long range spotting scopes. The spotting scopes will help you determine the exact location of a deer entering a field at dusk and the trail cameras will help you determine the trails he used to go back to bed in the morning.

As soon as the bucks shed their velvet they become a different beast. They are now on constant alert until late October and early November. At this time of year, try to catch the big boy in transition between bedding and feeding but as close to bedding areas as possible. Mature bucks won’t leave the security of cover until late.

Pre-season scouting is important but also very tricky. Try not to spook game because the season is fast approaching. Check your cameras right before or during a rain storm. Do not study the pictures on the camera at the base of the tree it is attached to. You’ll leave too much scent in the woods and possibly alert the deer to your presence and location. Open the camera, switch the chips and move on. Always practice scent control while walking through the ground of your adversary.

Mossy Oak's Mike Monteleone

Q: How do you go about scouting early season before the bucks are making scrapes?
A: Deer are very social animals. They communicate in many different ways, and scraping and rubbing are the signs hunters see the most. The majority of scrapes and rubs are seen during the rut, but what most hunters do not know is that deer scrape all year long to communicate with other deer in their community. A scrape may be made in November by a love struck buck but there is a chance that the communication may still go on throughout the summer and into the fall of the following season. Although the activity of scraping is substantially less, it does still occur.

Active scrapes in preseason are sometimes hard to find; difficult at best. The best places to look are still the usual places – stream bottoms, transitions between thick cover and open hardwoods, edges of agricultural fields, etc. But be careful when traipsing through the woods during preseason. You do not want to alert deer of your presence.

No matter where you hunt in the country, a deer’s instinctive habits are the same for the most part. They all use heavy cover, transitions, funnels and agricultural fields to eat, travel or sleep, so use bottleneck type spots in between or around these areas to setup stands. Even if you are unfamiliar with the area, after you hunt the first few days, you should be able to fine tune your location to get closer to your quarry.

Q: Do you prefer to hunt in the woods or along agricultural fields?
A: The best place to ambush a buck is in the woods on a travel route to a food source. I believe most bucks don’t leave the security of cover until late and there may not be enough shooting light left by the time the buck reaches an agricultural field. Your best bet is to find a transition zone that is in a direct path of a buck as he heads to his final destination. Usually an oak ridge with a few good producing trees or a logging road with a sweet browse like honeysuckle will stop the deer for a snack before he gets to the field. Bucks are not as edgy while staging and feeding in these areas either, because typically they are under some type of cover.

If you’re trying to harvest a doe, sometimes a field edge is your best bet. The does always reach the field first and a lot of the time, hours before dark. Once a doe enters a food plot or ag-field it is as though she drops her guard just a little which will allow a bowhunter better opportunity.

There is a huge positive when hunting a food plot or field. It is a concentrated food source and the deer will definitely be there if it is of good quality. Also, it is in an open space with very little to no cover which allows the hunter to stay on stand longer. The additional light helps when judging whether or not the deer is of mature caliber and also allows a late evening stand hunter better light for shooting accuracy.

If you’re hunting a field edge, be sure to locate your stand in a spot that will allow you to get out at dark without being detected.

Q: How high should you hang a treestand?
A: The answer is simple. As high as you can comfortably and accurately shoot your bow.

As we all know a deer’s sense of smell is beyond comprehension. So the higher you are, the more your scent disperses before it reaches deer nose level.

If you play the wind correctly, stand height might not play a role other than hunter movement. However, what if the deer you are hunting decides to appear from an unexpected direction? If this were the case, I’d rather be camped-out in the limbs 20 feet up rather than on the trunk of a bare poplar tree in a 12-foot ladder stand.

My preferred heights are between 17 and 22 feet. Any higher than 25feet, the shot angle is too steep and the vital area exponentially gets smaller.

Q: Can you have success hunting from the ground?
A: There are a bunch of hunters that choose to hunt from the ground. Maybe it is because they are afraid of heights or maybe it is because they are physically incapable of climbing a tree. Or, maybe it is because there’s no place to hang a treestand. Whatever the case – many deer have met their demise from hunters in ground blinds and hunters on the stalk.

Does hunting whitetails from the ground increase your odds? It depends on the situation. If the wind is just right and hunting from the ground is the only way to get close enough to send an arrow through a smart animal, I say go for it!

Q: Are doe or buck decoys effective?
A: Depending on the situation and the age class of deer you are trying to harvest, a decoy can be effective all season long.

During early season, it is best to use a small doe decoy or a young buck decoy. The smaller decoys seem to reassure younger deer that “it’s safe to come and play”. I particularly don’t like to use decoys during early season just because I don’t want to lug the thing around the woods.

However, during the late pre-rut and early rut I sometimes carry as many as three decoys in the field. I set up two doe decoys and one big buck decoy. If there is a mature deer in the area and he sees the spread, he’ll come fast. Do not set your buck decoy haphazardly – make sure he is quartering to you so the approaching buck gives you a quartering-away shot.

Q: Is scent control important when hunting from a treestand?
A: Scent control should be practiced at all times. It should start at home with unscented detergents for body and clothing, including towels that you dry off with after you take a scent-free shower. Your hunting boots should be put on before you go into the woods, not before you get in your truck. Boots should be doused heavily with a scent-killing spray, and you should plan your entry to your stand very carefully to minimize the chances of deer crossing your path.

Carry a small bottle of scent-killing spray in your pack and to your stand. Once you’re settled and harnessed in, spray yourself again just to destroy any scent you may have sweated out. Use a gel or lotion type scent killer for your face, hands and hair before entering the woods also.

Maximize your chances by utilizing good scent control practices no matter if you hunt from the ground or stand. Good scent control will get you that much closer.

Q: What calls do you carry?
A: There are many calls a hunter can carry but there are three calls that every whitetail hunter should have in his fanny pack.

A standard grunt tube is good but a grunt tube that can be adjusted for different tones and age class grunts and bleats is better. There are times when an aggressive, deep guttural grunt might spook a deer whereas a softer, higher-tone grunt will bring an aggressive buck to the base of your stand. An adjustable grunt tube will afford the opportunity if needed.

A doe “bleat-in-heat” call. The Primos “Can” is the best sounding bleat I have found. It works wonders during the rut on deer of all ages. Typically, the can is turned over to create the “bleat-in-heat” but try blowing through the can to create more authentic and longer drawn-out bleats.

A rattle bag or authentic antlers. Rattle bags work well but nothing can compare to the authentic sound real bone makes when clashed together. Authentic antlers also allow you to finesse the sounds, whether you tickle the antlers, grind or clash them together.

There is a draw back when using antlers and that is their size and poor pack-ability compared to a rattle bag. The best size of antler to minimize the bulkiness is a set of 2×2 mule deer antlers. They sound great and are easy to nest together and strap to your fanny pack or back pack.
