The count hit 400 deer, and we were barely three hours into the hunt.  We were on the island of Molokai, hunting axis deer with Pat Fisher, of Hawaii Safaris (www.hawaiisafaris.com).  I’d hunted free-range axis on the east end of the island before, but public pressure was high and trophy bucks tough to come by.  This time I sought to hunt private land, and I was glad I did.  Before nightfall we’d see nearly 500 deer. I closed that hunt with a good buck, and vowed to one day return. Two years later I was back, this time with good friend Tom Munson, marketing director at Trijicon, and his buddy, Jeremy Vaccaro.  For both men it was their first axis deer hunt, for me, my third go-around in Hawaii, though I’d been fortunate to hunt them in other countries, too. Following a 3/4-mile stalk on a rutting buck, Tom was finally in shooting position. But the buck was bedded down.  All we could see were his ivory-tipped antlers barely sticking above the extremely tall grass.   Finally, after and hour and 20 minutes, the buck stood and Tom made a perfect shot. We were hunting grassy meadows on Lanai, where once grew [...]

Coming off three days of turkey hunting in central Nebraska.  Never before have I seen so many turkeys in a place.  This gave us the opportunity to try many approaches, and given the variety of weather conditions we faced, combined with sporadic hen behavior, I learned a lot. With nighttime temperatures plummeting into the mid-20s, followed by cold mornings, the birds were still in large flocks.  Hunting flocks of 60-80 birds that came off one roost was common.  This meant the best hunting didn’t start until late morning, once the big flocks broke-up and started feeding into the hill country. With unreceptive hens giving little attention to strutting toms, the toms seemed to lose interest in them and became more responsive to the calls later in the day.  Most of the birds we called in were between 1:00-4:00 p.m., a time when many hunters are back at camp or have called it quits for the day.  On our very first setup, 11 longbeards came to the call and only a few of those birds gobbled, most were silent. In the brushy draws where the birds spent most of their time during the hot but very windy days, a lone hen decoy [...]

  Did you know the wild turkey: 1. Has eyes set farther apart on the skull than most birds... 2. Sees in color... 3. Has vision about equal to 8x binoculars... 4. Has a 300º range of vision when its head is stationary... 5. Has monocular vision, which explains why it’s head is in constant motion, as it has to focus on objects independently with each eye. This explains why their depth of field is so limited, thus, why they can so closely approach hunting blinds and statue-still hunters who don’t panic. Keep these facts in mind when setting up for your next hunt...or when a tom approaches your calling site. The cream contains aciclovir that works to stop treat the virus.
