WHAT?! Are deer REALLY nocturnal? MSU Deer Lab Dr. Strickland might debunk the idea.

This guide details expert strategies for late-season deer hunting in cold, snowy conditions. It emphasizes understanding deer behavior shifts to survival mode, focusing on high-energy food sources like mast crops, and identifying refuge areas in thick cover. The advice, presented by a Mossberg representative, highlights tactics for navigating hunting pressure and utilizing thermal cover during snowstorms, with activity spiking post-storm.

This video provides valuable insights into strategic deer food plot planning by emphasizing the critical role of trail cameras in understanding whitetail deer movement patterns, travel corridors, bedding areas, and preferred food sources. It advocates for data-driven decision-making over guesswork, highlighting how early season scouting with game cameras can identify optimal food plot locations that will attract deer during daylight hours. The content also touches upon conducting trail camera surveys for essential deer herd inventory, including buck-to-doe ratios and population density, as a superior approach to traditional food plot placement.

This video explains Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD), a viral illness affecting white-tailed deer, transmitted by midges. It details EHD symptoms like fever and seeking water, its seasonal nature, and how it differs from Blue Tongue Disease and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). The description highlights a collaboration between Dr. Bronson Strickland of Wildlife Investments and Mossberg, discussing why EHD-infected deer are found near water. EHD is distinct from CWD, a prion disease spread through contact, while EHD is insect-borne and not a threat to humans. The discussion emphasizes the seasonal end of EHD outbreaks with frost.

This video debunks the common belief that corn is the best option for dove hunting food plots. Wildlife Biologist Bonner Powell explains that wheat is a superior choice for attracting doves, as it provides food throughout the entire season, unlike corn which is only beneficial after harvest. Powell highlights wheat's lower cost and less demanding cultivation requirements compared to corn. The video emphasizes creating food plots that are safe havens for doves, ensuring they have access to necessary resources. Wildlife Investments, a scientific group of hunters, is promoted for their expertise in wildlife conservation and food plot development.

Jasper Charles, host of 'Start Up' on the Mossberg channel, demonstrates how deer rubs can be valuable indicators of deer activity times. By understanding the relationship between bedding areas, food sources, and travel corridors, hunters can interpret rubs to predict when deer are most likely to be moving through a specific location. This technique is presented as a key scouting tip for effective deer hunting.

This video demonstrates the acquisition of deer corn from a Buc-ee's location as part of a seasonal deer hunting preparation strategy. The speaker, identified as a brand representative or influencer for Mossberg, casually loads bags of deer corn into a truck, framing it as a component of a 'summer management plan' for deer hunting. The content highlights practical steps for hunters looking to prepare their hunting grounds.

It offers a 5+1 capacity and demonstrates rapid cycling during live fire.

Learn a crucial duck hunting decoy mistake: ducks spooking when all decoys face the same direction. Jason Cruise demonstrates how real ducks orient uniformly before fleeing. To avoid this, vary decoy keel weight placement, causing them to face different directions and mimic a relaxed flock.

This video provides a detailed 3D animation of the Mossberg 500/590 pump-action shotgun's internal mechanics. It breaks down the complete firing cycle, from loading shells into the magazine tube to extraction and cocking. Key components like the bolt lock, elevator, hammer, and sear are explained in relation to their function during each stage of operation.
