Tips for Preparing for Archery Season
By Glen Wunderlich
The recent hot and dry weather is not what we ordered, having spent countless hours in the field planting wildlife food plots. The tiny brassica sprouts are evident, but seem to be in a state of suspension, getting their only moisture from morning dew. It’s enough to keep them alive, but that’s about it. With fingers crossed, it’s time to move on to things we can control in the final month of preparations before the start of archery deer season.
Practice: Who doesn’t know to fling arrows at targets? But, it’s how we practice that may make the difference between tenderloins and tears. Here are a few suggestions. Read more

Oklahoma Coyote Control with Highly Trained Decoy Dogs
By Glen Wunderlich
When John Glynn goes hunting, he means business. He and his decoy dogs, Nuts and Scrap, are the primary protectors of 1800 head of cattle in S.E. Oklahoma, which roam freely on his 10,000 acres. So do the coyotes. Lots of them.
John manages his livestock so that his cows give birth at the same time. And, with myriad calves being born simultaneously, the coyotes can smell the “dinner bell”. Most of the time, however, they’re coming for the afterbirth. But, sometimes they’ll tear a newborn calf to shreds before it hits the ground. He’ll lose about 200 calves with some 25 to 30 percent related to predation. And, at a future value of over $1000 per animal, that’s bad business.
And, that’s why he and his two dogs work as a team. Read more
Making the Connection with Youth
By Glen Wunderlich
Early in life each of us develops our “likes” and “dislikes” – and, I’m not talking Facebook. For example, I don’t know why, but I never was able to stomach lima beans regardless of my father’s fruitless attempts to get me to eat them. Of course, he knew what was good for me, but I never allowed one bean down my throat. Nice try, Dad.
And, that’s the way it is with all of us. We evolve through trial and error and naturally gravitate to things we like, which explains how the Mid-Michigan Old Gas Tractor Association show makes it to the top of my priority list each August.
My first show over 20 years ago was an eye-opener. When my friend, Charley Coston, introduced me to the event, I was flabbergasted by the tons of ancient iron, which had been preserved, protected, and converted to “wow” status in many cases. Count me as a lifer now.
And, so it is with our children. Schools do a good job of exposing youngsters to a wide variety of subject matters. Teachers become tool makers filling students’ tool boxes with knowledge – some will become useful, and some of it will be discarded out of hand. But, it is the wise teacher that bridges the gap from the knowledge to possible end-use – the missing link, if you will. Read more
