Bowhunting Deer: The Perfect Tree Stand
Got this email recently from Jeff: My son was introduced to bowhunting by my brother, and last year he went out and shot a big 8 pointer. I was reading your article in Bowhunting World magazine about a hunter named Shane Good getting 3 big deer from the same stand. Well, my son will not be moving from his stand anytime soon! The point I was making in that article is that some tree stands are in the perfect spot and produce a good buck year after year after year. Not all stands mind you but some. Here’s the gist of it from that story: “One October afternoon several years ago, Ontario bowhunter Shane Good shot the buck of his dreams: [...]

BIG DEER Moon & Rut Hunting Guide 2015
From Kansas to Virginia to Canada, 95 percent of adult does will come into estrous and be bred from roughly November 5-20, regardless of moon phase, or weather for that matter. That is the case every year. So take off anytime from Halloween though Thanksgiving, and you’ll hunt deer in some throes of the rut. And anytime you hunt rutting deer you have the potential to shoot a good buck. But I do believe that some days and weeks are better than others to take your hunt vacation according to the various phases of the “rutting moon” in late October and November.

Big-Buck Dreams Come True In South Carolina
Let me introduce you to my new hunting buddy, 15-year-old Jordan Beri. Last Friday evening Jordan, who has spina bifida and is paralyzed from the chest down, shot this 212-pound, low-fence giant in SC. Jordan dropped the fully mature deer w/one shot. I have never been so proud. I was at least 10 times more excited than he was! Before our afternoon hunt, we held hands and Jordan led us in a little prayer. He’s been a preacher since age 4 and has traveled around the South preaching at revivals. His dad, Patrick, told me that often at these events other preachers come up to Jordan and say, “Boy, let’s pray that one day you’ll walk again.” To which Jordan replies, “You [...]

First Big Bucks 2015: Kentucky, Kansas 200-Inch!
I don’t have any details on either of these monsters, just what I have seen on Facebook or Twitter. Top photo is a 200-inch full-velvet bow giant from Kentucky. Bottom buck is reportedly from Kansas; I have seen some snide comments on social media that the second deer might be a pen deer, but who knows, anytime somebody kills a really big buck jealous people say that. I do hope it’s wild and legit. Anyhow, the sight of these racks ought to get ya that much more fired up!
