Daytime hunters have several advantages over nighttime hitmen, importantly visibility.

However, hunting during the day also has a myriad of challenges that a night hunter won’t have to worry about, for instance, concealment.

Again, the wide array of crepuscular animals (active at dawn and dusk) and nocturnal animals (most active at night) coupled with the limited competition increase your odds of making a kill in the dark.

This article is a guide to some of the animals that you can hunt at night.

It’s pretty much undeniable that bird-watching is relatively easier and perhaps more leisurely during the day.

But what happens when the night falls?

Any enthusiastic birdwatcher must know that in birds’ world, magic happens when the sun goes down.

For owl fans, for instance, the best time to get a clear view of the Great Horned owl or the Barn owl is at night.

Sure, this is the only best time to watch as the American woodcocks make their elaborate territorial display through their classical evening sky dance.

If you are fascinated by birds, watching them at night will help you understand how they live even better.

In that case, our role today is to guide you on how to make night bird-watching a success.

Summer is over.

It’s around that time of the year when the weather becomes pretty unfriendly due to the prolonged cold days and all the boredom indoors.

Not all people complain though.

The hunters have doubtlessly been looking forward to this season not only because of the excitement that the woods bring, but also the various wild delicacies that it comes with.

You see, one of the reasons why wild meat is so appealing to us, the hunters, is that we get it fresh and natural minus all the chemicals that prepackaged and pre-shaped domestic meat come with.

Being healthy and maintaining a healthy life is not an everyday topic among hunters.

This is despite most of us knowing and acknowledging the numerous benefits of leading a healthy life.

Ask any hunter whether it’s important to be healthy and fit when hunting, you’ll probably get a YES within a fraction of a second. 

Ask the same hunter the importance of being healthy in hunting, I doubt you’ll get the response to this question as fast as you got the first answer.

With the archery season just around the corner, good hunters are probably scouting for the best hunting grounds.

But the most experienced hunters are most likely shopping for the best clothes for hunting.

It’s quite unfortunate that this is the most overlooked aspect when preparing for the hunting season. 

There is more to dressing correctly for the hunting grounds than just merely putting on your favorite pants.

Hunting is an age-old activity that has evolved immensely due to man’s ability to develop state-of-the-art weaponry.

Today, the rifle and the crossbow are the commonest among avid hunters. But which one is better?

Which one offers the hunter value for their time in the woods?

It would be unfair to pick one over the other without first trying to get the pros and the cons of each.

The topic of whitetail deer hunting in windy conditions causes a controversy whenever the debate arises.

To some, deer are the most elusive animals in the woods.

They attribute this to their crafty behavior and ability to use the wind to their advantage.

Based on this premise, these hunters believe that hunting in the wind is pure wastage of time since the prey will always detect the predator a few hundred yards away and take the necessary precautionary measures.

Most hunters in this school of thought will frankly tell you that deer don’t move in the wind, which makes it even harder to make a catch on these days.
