y Bruce IngramMany – if not most – sportsmen yearn to take that dreamtrip to an out-of-state hunting mecca where the game and fishflaunt more impressive racks, beards, or poundage than respectivecreatures back home. After planning for years, I embarked upon aspring gobbler hunt to Texas, half-way across the country from myVirginia home.My wife drove me to the local airport; and for the onlytime before or since that day, I told Elaine not to wait until theplane departed. That decision set in motion a series of blunders,snafus, misfortunes, and plain old bad luck that plagued me for thenext few days. It turned what should have been a dream trip into anightmarish journey into hunting hell.Three hours later, I was still sitting in the airport boardingzone waiting for my prop plane to leave. Oh, it was not as if nothingwere happening out on the tarmac. After the flight was delayed thefirst time, I watched a mechanic peer into the bowels of the plane’sengine. Twenty minutes later, that mechanic was joined by anotherorange-clad individual – then a third, and a fourth. When anotherplane pulled up and out sprang several more mechanics, I askedthe flight attendant if anything was the matter. “Nothing at all,sir,” she perkily replied. “We’ll be taking off shortly.”Not content with her answer, I dared to go down tothe tarmac and speak to the squadron of mechanics. Our exactconversation follows: “What’s the matter with the plane’sengine?” I inquired. “She’s shooting oil like a son of a gun,”responded a mechanic. “Is that serious?” I naively asked. “That’llmake her go down all right,” he replied.On dream trips, confidence is not inspired when aplane’s mechanic solemnly talks about a craft plummeting toearth. I marched back to the flight attendant and, despite herchirpy assurances about the safety of the plane and its imminentdeparture; I rescheduled my flight for noon the next day. I laterlearned the original flight did not occur until the wee hours of themorning.At noon the next day, I was once again at the airport; andthis time my prop plane took off on schedule. I don’t know if you’vehad the dubious pleasure of traveling in these craft. Props are tiny,confining, often 12-seat affairs, which are about as comfortableto ride in as a cramped stagecoach thumping across rock quarrydebris. My little plane had the misfortune of galloping into a galewind the entire excursion to the connecting airport. As a result,when the aircraft arrived, I had the worst case of “prop planenausea” that I have ever suffered. Then matters really turned sour.I became progressively more nauseous on the second leg of myflight, descending into the nether realms of airsickness. The planefinally touched down and I was devastated to learn that my huntingguide had apparently forgotten to meet me. Several hours later,the gentleman appeared with my ride to the lodge.I had been told the accommodations were private andluxurious, but found instead that a dozen hunters were sleeping inadjacent cots in an open room next to the kitchen.That evening, I was finally able to eat something,but endured a sleepless night. My cot was inchesfrom one inhabitant who had the remarkableability to snore and talk in his sleep at the sametime. Fortunately, those traits were redeemed bythe man’s penchant for chain smoking very acridcigars before he went to bed and as soon as heawoke the next morning.6www.thesportsmanchannel.com

CONGRATULATIONS AARONON YOUR FIRST ELK!Hi, my name is Aaron Gale. I am 12 years oldand want to share my hunting story and pictures aboutmy first big game animal. I have been tagging alongwith my Dad hunting since I was 6 years old. I havebeen waiting for this day to come all my life. This wasthe first year I could hunt big game in Colorado and Ihad an either sex elk tag.I spotted a small heard of 13 elk from the topof a peak we were standing on. They were about 600yards away and it was star ting to get dark so we didnot have much time.My dad and I thought of a plan to get closeenough for a shot and headed off the mountain towardthem. We entered a thick grove of aspen trees and usedoak brush and trees to hide us as we made our waycloser to them. When we were within 250 yards we satdown under some oak brush and set up my stoney pointshooting sticks. My dad ranged the elk at 247 yards.He stopped them using a cow call. They all looked tosee where the sound came from. I picked the cow onthe very right who was clear from the other elk so Icould get a clean shot.I squeezed the trigger and made a perfect lungshot. She ran about 20 yards and went down. My Dadand I were very excited to take my first elk .I used a Ruger model M77 .270 rifle with a Leupold3X9 scope and Remington core lockt 150 grain bullet.If you are a Future Sportsman, aged 18 and under, andwould like to tell your hunting or fishing story, thensend your pictures and story to:Editorial,The Sportsman Channel,w236 s7050, Suite 6 Big Bend Dr.Big Bend, WI 53103or sportsman@thesportsmanchannel.com.(Sorry, pictures are non-returnable)www.thesportsmanchannel.com9

That’s a lot of Bull!B y R o n K e r rThe trail I walked twistedthrough a thick stand of pine treesabout the size of flagpoles into ameadow interspersed with willows.The early afternoon sun felt warm, butit was only a few hours earlier whenI had broken ice off my water bucketto make morning coffee for my fellowhunting partners, Al and Don. We leftDon temporarily and were on the gametrail in search of a favourable spotto watch for moose during the lateafternoon. The silence was suddenlybroken by two rifle shots echoingacross the narrow valley behind us.“That sounds like Don’smagnum,” I said to Al. We thought Donmight be having some trouble withbears back where we had camped.When we reached him, we asked whathe had shot at.“That,” he said nonchalantly,pointing to a bull moose lying in ameadow about 200 yards away. “Afteryou two left, I tidied things up, thendecided to have another cup of coffee.About five minutes later I saw the bullwalk out of the woods.”Ordinarily, bull moose aresmarter than this, especially duringhunting season. Although their sightis not very keen, they have excellenthearing and an acute sense of smell.Moose keep their big ears in almostconstant motion to catch even thefaintest sound in every direction; theyfrequently stand motionless for longperiods of time behind a screening14www.thesportsmanchannel.comedge of timber. They will look out overa marsh or meadow for what seemslike hours without shifting their stance.Hunters glassing these edges havemissed seeing them simply becausethey haven’t given the moose enoughtime to move out into an opening.Moose BuiltA bull moose looks likesomething put together by a committee.Its face looks like it was shaped witha hammer and its massive body issupported with what appears to beweak, spindly legs. But a moose isideally adapted to its environment. Itslanky legs enable it to wade and feed indeep water, and cross deep snow andwindfall timber with ease. Its splayedhooves give it footing in muskeg bogsand lake bottoms, and its massive noseis used to strip bark. They will straddlesaplings with their forelegs to bring thetender upper branches within reach.About the only time bullsthrow caution to the wind is duringthe rut. Then, stupidity seems to betheir most predominant characteristic.Normally, no other animal of equal sizecan slip through brush and timber asnoiselessly as a moose. In pursuit ofa cow, however, the slow, delicatemovements vanish and a gruntingbull may take to crashing throughtrees. The bull Don shot was obviouslysatisfied we had all left the area and itwas safe for him to move. Whateverthe bull’s reason, Don was happy hedecided to move.One advantage of huntingafter the rut, which peaks betweenthe last week in September and thesecond week in October, is that frosthas usually caused vegetation to turncolour and it’s not long before thetrees and shrubs are stripped of theirleaves. Green willow patches aretransformed into stands of bare stalksand a 1,000-pound moose is now aprominent feature in the landscape.Although some residents ofBritish Columbia can often travel totheir favorite haunt for a weekendhunt, the majority spends timeplanning their hunt in anticipation ofspending a week or two in the woods.Non-resident hunters require a guide,which eliminates a lot of headacheswhen it comes to selecting a huntingarea, such as setting up camp andcaring for the meat and cape.Method to the MadnessHunting methods, whichare usually dictated by the area youhunt, include calling, stalking onfoot or horseback; or hunting lakeedges or streams from a canoe.Horseback hunting from a base camp,in combination with stalking on foot,is a productive method when large,wooded areas are to be covered.A hunting guide told me heusually tethers his horse on a highknoll overlooking a riverbed, smalllake or creek bottom, and spends timeglassing the surrounding area.

“It’s surprising how such alarge animal can conceal itself byblending with dark timber, bushes andthe charred stumps of old burns,” theguide said. “Some of the best areas formoose in British Columbia are where aforest fire has destroyed the big timber,or where slash has been burned from alogged area and second-growth timbergrows quickly,” he added.Horses serve the same functionas canoes in lowland hunting; they getyou and your gear in and they provideyou with a method of transportinggame out. Although the canoe is notas widely used in British Columbia asit is in the east, it is popular in someareas. Not only will it get you into theheart of moose country, it will alsoenable you to hunt along the shorelineof lakes and rivers at daybreak andat dusk where moose are often foundfeeding in the shallows. If startled by ahunter in a canoe the moose will swirlback towards shore, which is usuallyenough time to get off a shot. One of mysuccessful tactics once I spot a mooseon a lakeshore is to make quick, silentpaddle strokes while the animal’s headis in the water, beach my canoe somedistance away and stalk the mooseuntil I am within shooting range.In recent years rubber raftshave become popular for moosehunting. They are portable, durable,and have large payloads so they cancarry the weight of a quartered moose.They are also far more stable than acanoe.Even if you don’t have a horse,canoe, rubber raft or guide, you canstill do a lot of hunting on foot. Themost practical method is to hunt duringfeeding periods - at dawn and dusk -always into the wind and in the placesmoose frequent. Meadows, muskeg,marshes and timber edges are ideallocations.Shooting StrategiesAlthough more moose havebeen killed with .30-30s than any otherrifle, today’s hunters choose moreversatile calibres ranging from the .30-06 Winchester to .338 Winchester; Ipersonally use a Sako .300 Winchestermagnum. Moose are huge targets andare usually standing or moving slowly.In most situations there is ampleopportunity for the hunter to place abullet into a vital area. The lung area,just behind the shoulder tip is the bestspot. Shots through the shoulder bladeshould be avoided, as the heavy shoulderbone has been known to deflect bulletsof even large calibre rifles. Brain shotsshould also be avoided; not only do theyruin a portion of a nice trophy bull, butalso they are difficult to make under thebest circumstances. Nor is the neck agood spot, especially on bulls. You willhave only the slimmest chance of hittinga vital spot through the meat and bonein the neck and, although bulls are notdifficult to stop, most require a secondshot.Patience is a VirtueTwo days after Don got hisbull I found a small lake, walked itsperimeter and was satisfied that moosefrequented the area. Despite theirwide-ranging habits, moose may haveone or several seasonal home ranges ofthree to six square miles to which theyare strongly attached. I was convincedthe lake was home range to at leastone moose. All I had to do was to waitfor him. The next morning, I madearrangements with Don and Al for dropoffand pick-up spots. As a teenager, mygood friend’s dad used to take us moosehunting. He told us that if we had thepatience to watch a meadow or smalllake in the morning and afternoon forthree days where we had seen mooseactivity, we should see a moose withinthat time. The first few times my friendand I did this we wondered if his dadhadn’t told us that story just to get ridof us. However, eventually his advicepaid off then and I was about to try thestrategy again. On the first day, I satfrom one hour before light until about10:00 a.m. Then I followed the outletstream for a few hours and returned tothe lake early in the afternoon.continue. . . page 2015www.thesportsmanchannel.com

Ilove catching snapper – especially black snapper.Most often you’ll see them come up near the surfaceoff the stern after you’ve already caught several redsnapper. After spending many hours on the water,I want to share my strategies to hook your snapperquicker and cleaner for a fun day on the water.Most snapper fishing occurs on the Gulf Coast andFlorida Panhandle area. Right after a major disturbancein the Gulf of Mexico, like the recent hurricanes, bottomfeeders like snapper and grouper migrate. The Alabama/Mississippi Gulf Coast should have a tremendous influxof grouper and the Florida Panhandle, including theDestin and Panama City area, should have a huge influx ofsnapper. Right now, you have a window of opportunity totravel to the Upper Gulf Coast and catch more and biggersnapper than ever before.Black snapper shy away from lines and hooks.You’ll rarely catch them with a conventional bottomfishingrig out on the stern. I try to keep a spinning rod,like the ones used to catch cobia, nearby if I plan to fishfor black snapper. I like to use 20- or 30-pound-test lineand a bronze-colored snapper hook. Put the hook into acigar minnow’s mouth as far as it will go to hide as muchof the hook as possible. Then free-spool the line off thespinning reel behind the boat and watch the cigar minnowas it floats down to the black snapper. Even if I don’t seethe snapper take the bait, I’ll continue to feed out line.Black snapper often drift further behind the boatthan you can see, or they’ll hold in water so deep you can’tspot your cigar minnow. Once the fish takes the bait, letthe line free-spool off the reel for about a three countuntil the fish tightens up the line. Then set the hook andback off the drag so the snapper can run with only slightdrag pressure and to keep from breaking the fish off. Takeyour time bringing snapper in since they are a surprisinglystrong fish, snapper will often cut the line if you try tooverpower them.Secret Chum Recipe Shared!Most anglers view chumming as a major hassle as wellas a stinky proposition. However, two products makechumming much easier and more effective. Killer Beechum bags come in a frozen container and inside is atype of onion-sack filled with frozen chum. Hang the bagoverboard. As the chum thaws, it leeches out through theporous sack and into the water. Often the snapper willfollow the chum right up to the surface of the water.This tactic allows you to:1) See the snapper you want to catch. 2) Cast lighter lineswithout lead to the fish you hope to take. 3) Pick out the fishyou want to cast to use fly tackle to catch big snapper. 4)Pull the snapper away from wrecks and rigs where the fishmay break you off.Bobby Williams of Biloxi, Mississippi, a wellknownsnapper fisherman, has a secret tactic for catchingsnapper that may surprise you. But first, let’s look at hismore traditional rigging techniques. “I fish live coralbottom near the Sulfur Mines, a group of oil platformsout in the Gulf,” says Williams, who uses 40-pound-testmain line on a 330 GTI or a 4/0 Penn reel and a PennInternational stand-up rod.Up the main line, Williams puts a two to fourounceegg-shaped slip sinker. The water’s current dictatesthe weight of his lead. On the main line, he uses a blackbarrel swivel. Coming from the barrel swivel, Williams tieson a three to six foot-long leader from 20-pound test up to60-pound test.“If the snapper bite aggressively, I’ll use a 60-pound test, three-foot leader,” Williams explains. “Ifthe snapper don’t seem to want to bite, I’ll take the 60-pound test off and put on six feet of 20-pound-test leader.Although extremely light, the 20-pound-test leader willlure snapper to bite. You have to first get a fish to bite tocatch it. If the snapper won’t bite heavy leader, then usinga smaller leader may help you get a bite.”For anglers who prefer fishing with fresh chum,you can do it without the mess and bother of having tocut up or carry a large amount of chum with you. Afterbaiting his rig, Williams prepares to catch snapper as deepas 170 feet or as shallow as one-foot below the surface.Once Williams motors to his fishing spot, he utilizes aChum Churn with menhaden and cigar minnows. “I usea Chum Churn that grinds up fish and puts the chum outunder the water,” Williams advised. “I start chummingas soon as I get to a spot, even before I start fishing it.”Besides menhaden and cigar minnows, Williams addssome special ingredients to his chum. “I’ll boil macaronithe day before I go fishing. After I thoroughly cook themacaroni, I’ll add a can or two of tuna fish packed in oil.I’ll also add some menhaden oil and let thismixture sit overnight. As I grind up the baitfish in theChum Churn, I’ll add the macaroni and tuna fish mixto create a stronger odor and a larger chum line. Themacaroni holds the oil better than the meat does, and itreleases the oil when it goes out in the chum and puts anoil slick on the surface,” he told me. By using this secretchum mixture, Williams has brought giant snapper rightup to the stern of his boat. “I’ve found that I’ll usuallycatch snapper weighing 18-to-25 pounds each right nearthe surface, feeding on the chum. In an average trip, myfishermen usually will catch six to eight fish of this size.”Diamond JigsIf you really want to have some fun snapperfishing, use a technique I learned from Captain JamesAmmons of Orange Beach, Alabama. He instructed me tolet the diamond jig fall all the way to the bottom, then jerkit up and reel up the slack. When I asked Ammons what17www.thesportsmanchannel.com

BETTER SNAPPER STRATEGIES18www.thesportsmanchannel.comhe had given me he answered, “It’s adiamond jig. This jig will catch anythingthat swims. We take amberjack, snapper,grouper, beeliners and even triggerfish onit. Don’t worry; you’ll know when you geta bite.”I used Ammons’ technique andjig and, as he predicted, I not only caughtsnapper, but just about every other fishthat would swim over a wreck or reef. Idiscovered that most of the time the fishwould take the jig when I started theupward stroke of my rod. Even when youstart to move the line up with the rod tip,the heavy diamond jig still may fall whenyou drop your rod tip before you startyour upward motion. Fishing in waterdeeper than 50 feet creates a tremendousbow in your line and delays the actionfrom the rod tip to the jig. Even when youbring the rod tip about halfway up, it willoften jerk down with the tremendousforce of a big snapper.Drift-line TechniqueIf you learn to fish the driftlinetechnique of presenting bait slowlyand gently to snapper and other bottomfeeders, you can catch more and biggersnapper and grouper on every saltwatertrip. I learned this lesson the hard waywhile fishing on the “Summer Hunter,”a charter boat based at Orange Beach,Alabama. Each time we stopped over awreck or a reef, I’d let my heavy lead sinkerfree-spool to the bottom. But DebbieWilhite, the first mate on the “SummerHunter,” fished a seven-foot spinningrod and would cast her bait and a smallslip sinker upcurrent toward the front ofthe boat. Then she’d feed out line as thewhole cigar minnow on her line driftedslowly to the bottom. I thought by gettingto the bottom quickly I could catch thebiggest fish on the reef. However, Wilhiteconsistently caught more and biggersnapper up off the bottom than I did.I soon learned that the slower I arrivedwith my bait at the bottom, the biggersnapper I would catch.I asked Wilhite to show me howshe used spinning tackle, a small weightand dead bait to take large snapper. “Allyou do is cast upcurrent and free-lineyour bait out as it drifts back toward theboat,” Wilhite coached. The first time Itried, I caught a nice five-pound snapper.I then became even more convinced thatdrift-line fishing could put more andbigger red snapper, black snapper andamberjack in the boat than any othertechnique of saltwater fishing I’d tried.Better Snapper BaitingOn the line, Captain Jack Wilhiteattaches a 1/4-ounce, egg-shaped sinkerand a No. 5/0 bronze-finish Eagle Clawhook. He prefers the bronze to the silverbecause the silver attracts more kingmackerel, which will take the baits andcut the lines. With the bronze hook, hecatches more snapper and fewer mackerel.When you prepare to cast, the lead willslide all the way down the line to the eyeof the hook. Wilhite baits with a wholecigar minnow or herring, placing the pointof the hook at the X-mark between theeyes and the mouth of the cigar minnow.He brings the point of the hook from theX-mark on top of the cigar minnow andout below the gills. “Once you’ve got yourbait on the hook, cast upcurrent of theboat,” Wilhite explained. “Make about a40-foot cast. Then when the bait entersthe water, the current will pick it up andwash it back toward the boat. I usuallytry to hold the boat right on top of theartificial reef we’re fishing.We’ve learned that by castingupcurrent, the bait will drift back, passabout 40 feet above the wreck and thendrift back about 10 to 20 yards behindthe wreck before the lead finally reachesthe bottom.” As the bait enters the water,the lead begins to fall away from the hookand the bait. Because the lead is heavierthan the cigar minnow, the lead will slidedown the line and away from the bait. Bythe time the bait floats 30 to 40 feet fromthe bottom, the lead may have fallen fiveto 10 feet below the bait. When the linebegins to come back to the boat, freelinemore monofilament off the spool bysimply pulling the line out and allowingthe current to catch the line.Then the lead can continueto fall even after your line has passedthe boat. When the snapper spots thecigar minnow moving down toward thebottom, it sees a free-floating bait thatpresents an easy meal.Continue on page 20

That’s a lot of Bull!About two hours beforesundown a wolf trotted out of thewoods and along the lakeshore. Thatwas the extent of animal activity forthe day. Don and Al had no successeither so I had nothing to loose bycoming back the next day.The temperature haddropped considerably during thenight and when I began my vigilat the lake the next morning, thecold penetrated my clothing. Themorning passed slowly and the coldgot to me. My mid-day walk wasmore for warmth than exercise andI returned to the lake about 3:00 p.m.A few hours later the sun dippedbehind a hill. I was getting stiff andsore and was about to call it a daywhen I saw a moose walk out ofthe woods and wade into the lakewithout making a sound. It was 150yards away.I raised my 7-mm RemingtonMagnum before realizing the moosewas standing in about three feetof water. I remembered shootinganother moose in a similar situation.The task of getting it out was anightmare of mud, blood and achingmuscles, something I swore I wouldnever repeat. So I waited. Aftersome time the moose turned andwalked toward the shore. When allfour legs were on land I squeezedthe trigger and the moose dropped.My hunt was over.Take an AdventureMoose are not hunted for theirelegance, charm and wit. Despitetheir strange looks, moose aremagnificent animals. Their meat ismild, tender and delicious. To hunta trophy bull you normally have totravel into the backcountry andthat alone can be a worthwhileadventure. And the massive antlersof a big bull are an impressivetrophy. All you need is a 14-footceiling to display them!Continue. . .BETTERSNAPPERSTRATEGIESb y J o h n E . P h i l l i p sAs the snapper takes the bait,the line will pick up speed and come offthe reel much faster. When you noticethe strike, put your reel in gear. Pointthe rod tip at the water in the directionyou see the line running.Let the fish take up the slackand when the line becomes taut, strikethe fish with a solid hook set. “We’vefound that using this drift-line techniquehelps us consistently catch moredouble-digit-sized snapper, weighingfrom 10 to 25 pounds, than any othertechnique we’ve tried,” Wilhite advised.The biggest snapper the Wilhites everhave boated using this tactic weighed26 pounds. But they catch 10- to 15-pound snapper, and other species, onalmost every trip when they employ thisdrift-line method.How to Play the FishWhen a fisherman hooks a fish and itheads toward a reef, often an angler willpull hard against the fish, attempting toget his rod to the 12 o’clock position andthen reel down to the 4 o’clock position.However, Wilhite has discovered thatan angler can land more fish by pullinghis rod to the 11 o’clock position. Thenwhen the fish quits fighting against theline, he can reel down to the nine o’clockposition and try to pump the fish backup to the 11 o’clock position.“You’ll put more fish in the boatusing a short, pumping action than youwill if you use a long-pull, drop-downlowand try-to-take-up-slack tacticand also gradually gain line,” Wilhiteemphasized. “Little short pumps on therod will keep a fish coming to the surfacefaster and its head turned toward thesurface better than when you drop therod tip drastically and attempt to takeup a lot of slack at one time.”If you’re looking to land bigsnappers, of any color, any of thesetechniques will produce greater actionand excitement for the saltwater bottomfisherman.
