Whitetail Deer Hunting Seminars

Mapping Out Hunting Success
Topographical maps, aerial photos and even Google are invaluable tools to find deer travel hotspots. With the aid of these tools the modern hunter can do most of his scouting from the comfort of his home and will be miles ahead of other hunters when he steps into his hunting area. Anyone with a little ambition and common sense can study maps to find deer hotspots. Unfortunately, many hunters are often intimidated by this technology, so they don’t bother learning about what topographical maps and aerial photos can tell them about their hunting area.

This seminar demonstrates how easy mapping deer and once fully understood the great benefits this tactic will have on the hunter’s success rate.

The Hunters Curse (Coming to terms with buck fever)

Since the dawn of time hunters have been stricken with what we know as “buck fever”, yet most hunters don’t fully understand what it is. For many hunters this curse isn’t just a nuisance, it can ruin the joy of the sport altogether. In some rare cases buck fever has been blamed on mistaking another hunter for a buck. What is buck fever? How can it be diagnosed? How can it be cured? This seminar will provide all the answers and provide a cure for buck fever.

Beat The Other Hunters To It (Highly effective tips for opening day success)

To beat the onslaught of hunters on opening day and generate a close encounter with a big buck you need to get creative. Simply walking into the woods or driving along the back roads, like everyone else does, will result in an empty freezer and wall. It’s time to do something different. Big mature bucks have learned to evade hunters and to get one you should too. It’s time to make hunting pressure work for and not against you. This seminar will provide field proven tips and tactics on how to exploit the early season escape tactics of mature bucks.

Rut Myth Busters

Hunting is full of myth and half-truth and in most cases they are harmless, however there are some long-held myth that actually harm a hunters success rate. One of the most myth-riddled segments of the hunting season revolves around the deer rut and it costs hunters big bucks. To fill your tag this year you first want to separate fact from fiction. The “Rut Myth Busters” seminar will debunk the most commonly held deer rut myth and replace them with the facts.

The Four Factors Of Deer Movement

The four factors of deer movement are FOOD, COVER, TERRAIN and STRUCTURE; and to a lesser degree, water is a fifth factor in arid areas or during particularly hot years. These four factors are the corner stones of scouting success. All deer movement is somehow related to one or more of the four factors. The beauty of the four factors is that once a hunter fully understands how these factors relate to each other, they can be applied to any area and during any time of the hunting season. This in turn lets a hunter chose stand locations long before the deer frequent the area.

This seminar I’ll explain how essential to scouting these factors are in order to establish sound hunting strategies throughout the hunting season.

Stalking Deer The Forgotten Art

Before the dawn of modern treestands, hunters successfully stalked deer with rifle and bow. Unfortunately these days many hunters have lost, or never tried, to stalk within shooting range of a deer and those that do from time to time will have you know that it doesn’t work. Nothing could be further from the truth. Stalking game is sometimes not only the only hunting method but more importantly can be highly successful, provided it is done right. The seminar will examine and explain in detail the skills that are needed plus the various tactics of still hunting and stalking.

Commonsense About Deer Scent

Besides communicating vocally and visually deer also use scent from their glands and urine. Just as we use our language deer use scent to pass information about themselves on to other deer. Many hunters employing scent in their hunting strategy have little knowledge about the importance of olfactory deer communication. This is the reason why these same hunters often claim that scent does not work. Deer attractant scent works but only when the “message” is delivered in the right form and at the right time.

Commonsense about scent explains in detail how various deer scent works, what messages the deer broadcast with scent and how hunters can use proper scent dispersal tactics to their advantage.


Turkey Hunting Seminars

Detailing Your Turkey Shotgun

You only get one chance at a big boss gobbler. By choosing the right shotgun, choke and ammunition combination you can stack the odds in your favour. While most certainly any shotgun can be used to hunt turkeys the veteran gobbler chasers have learned, often the hard way, that a specialized gun is a much better choice. In this seminar I’ll provide detailed information and advice on how to turn an ordinary shotgun into a precision and reliable turkey harvester. Choices of guns, loads, chokes and sights are compared and discussed as well how to pattern the gun at the shooting range to get it to perform reliably from spitting close distance out to 30 yards and more.

The Pros And Cons Of Diaphragm Turkey Calls

Today diaphragm calls are so popular with turkey hunters that heading to the woods without them has become unthinkable. But are diaphragms as good as the advertising and articles written about them claim they are? Are diaphragm calls for every hunter? Or have these calls made turkeys call shy as many expert turkey hunters claim? Lets find out as we examine all the pros and cons of diaphragm turkey calls in this exiting seminar with hands-on-instructions and illustrations.

Not Quite Close Enough. (Why Gobblers Hang Up And How To Deal With Them)

Any person that is hunting North America’s most popular game bird for a season or two has to learn to deal with the frustration of a big tom hanging up just outside the effective shooting range. The majority of these birds are the older, wiser toms; the ones we hunters respectfully refer to as “Boss Gobblers”. They are masters at surviving and that makes them one of the most challenging game animals to hunt. In my opinion, shaped by my many years of observation and hunting turkeys, there are three main reasons why a tom hangs up and for each scenario there’s a solution.
The “Not Quite Close Enough” seminar highlights the most common causes why gobblers hang up and what the hunter can do to avoid such situations.

Music To A Tom’s Ears (A guide to better turkey calling)

The difference between a successful turkey hunter and failing turkey hunter in many cases within the same scenario is the difference of sounding like a turkey or just almost like one. If a hunter sounds almost like a turkey the tom will, most of the time, call the bluff and either hang up or simply walk away to live another day. Understanding the turkey “language” and talking the “language” is a bit of a mystery to some hunters. In an attempt to solve that mystery this seminar will focus on the meaning of the different sounds a turkey makes and then forming the vocabulary that creates the music the tom wants to hear.
