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

This guide details the 'bow range burn' technique for habitat management, pioneered by Dr. Marcus Lashley and discussed by Luke Resop from Mississippi State University's Deer Lab. The technique involves burning a 30-yard radius around a tree stand location to increase deer usage of the area by up to 13-fold due to new nutritional pulses. This method emphasizes that significant impact can be achieved without needing to burn large acreages.

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, hosted by Jasper Charles on the Mossberg channel, explains how deer rubs can be used to determine the time of day deer are active. By understanding the relationship between bedding areas and food sources, hunters can interpret the direction of travel indicated by rubs to predict deer movement patterns, particularly in the late afternoon. The content is presented with high authority, drawing on practical field scouting techniques.

This guide, presented by a Mossberg representative with personal hunting success, emphasizes the importance of varying deer grunt calls. The speaker demonstrates that a single call may be ignored, but changing the tone, pitch, and using multiple different grunt calls can elicit a response from deer. Carrying at least two distinct grunt calls is recommended for effective deer hunting.

This video tackles the challenges of early October whitetail deer hunting, often referred to as the 'October lull.' It debunks the idea of deer inactivity by explaining their shift in priorities due to changing food sources (acorns, agricultural crops) and increased hunting pressure. The content focuses on actionable strategies to overcome this period by identifying key factors: consistent food sources, active scrapes, and the impact of cold fronts. The video emphasizes adjusting to deer's movement to thick cover and avoiding open edges, aiming to provide hunters with a clear plan for success before the pre-rut phase.

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 provides an expert-level overview of the Mossberg 590M magazine-fed shotgun, presented by Jeremy Stafford, who demonstrates its features and tactical advantages. The demonstration highlights the ease of use, reliability, and versatility of the 590M, including its various magazine capacities and ergonomic controls. Stafford's high authority level, stemming from combat experience and detailed engineering knowledge, underscores the informative nature of the content.

This video provides a high-energy, tactical overview of the Mossberg 990 AfterShock semi-automatic firearm. It highlights key features like the AfterShock Grip, M-LOK system, oversized controls, and 5+1 capacity. The demonstration emphasizes its suitability for tactical applications and ease of use in dynamic scenarios, presented with a promotional tone from the manufacturer.

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 guide details the operational cycle of the Mossberg 500/590 pump-action shotgun, as explained with detailed 3D animations and precise nomenclature. It covers loading, feeding, chambering, locking, firing, extraction, and ejection, emphasizing the mechanical sequence for safe and effective operation. Instruction is provided with high authority, suitable for intermediate users.
