BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Whitetail Journal’s special Land and Game Management issue offers hunters and landowners a wealth of information on how to best cultivate their property for whitetail health and habitat. From food plots ideas to trail camera reviews to advice on leasing land, this issue has something for everyone.
Wild hog populations are out of control, and that’s bad news for deer hunters. Studies show you need to harvest 70 percent of all hogs per year just to keep numbers stable. How do you do that? It’s not easy. We’ll examine the issue in “Know Whitetails: Hog Wild.”
Clover or brassicas? Wheat, chicory, alfalfa, turnips or peas? When it comes to food plots, choosing the right plant for your ground can be just as confusing as the actual planting process. “Game Management: Annuals Or Perennials” is your one-stop guide to deciding which plants are ideal for your food plots.
Crossbows have been getting slimmer and sleeker in recent years, and Carbon Xpress’ Covert CX-1 is no exception. Read a full review of it in this issue’s “Crossbow Talk.”
Food plots can serve as a great source of nutrition for deer, but if you place your food plots in an area where you can’t hunt over them, you’ve missed a big opportunity. Bob Robb tells you where to plant your food plots in his “Moment of Truth: Plant Plots For Hunting, Not Deer Watching” column.
“Guns & Loads” columnist Richard Mann offers an in-depth look at bullet construction in “Terminal Bullet Performance,” answering the question “which is more important: expansion or penetration?”
One of the editor Bob Robb’s favorite sleeper spots for big bucks is the southwestern portion of Kansas. Read all about the monsters taken there in “Kansas Whitetail Mecca.”
Shoddy research and handshake agreements don’t cut it in today’s world. Let J. Wayne Fears tell you how to make sure you get what you pay for in a hunting lease in “How To Look At Land For Leasing.”
You’ll find deer if you know which leaves, lichens and other foods they’ll be targeting in autumn. We’ll tell you how to crack that code in “Do Whitetails Prefer ‘Invisible’ Foods?”
Game cameras have come a long way in recent years, with the current trend swinging toward smaller, more compact units loaded with features including video, audio and invisible nighttime flash. Even better, prices have leveled off and there is now a unit for every wallet. “What’s New In Game Scouting Cameras” is a look at some of the hottest game cameras on the market today.
If you own or manage a stand of timber, you know what a long-term habitat project it can be. Tony Kinton has tips and advice for optimizing your opportunities in “Timber Management For Whitetails.”
Finally, our popular Blackpowder Guns & Hunting section includes tactics and tips for muzzleloaders. Great hunts often occur in bad weather, yet even the latest gear can go south when the North wind slings rain and snow. Joe Byers tells you how to burn powder consistently under the worst conditions in “Miserable-Weather Maintenance.” And columnist Judd Cooney gives you a complete rundown of accurate, fast-loading sabotless options in “The Muzzleloader: A New Era In Sabotless Bullets.”
All this and much, much more is in the Land and Game Management issue. Check it out! On newsstands April 10th or visit www.whitetailjournal.com for more details.
