MI: BIG DEER Blogger Shoots Biggest Bow Buck

admin2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 19th, 2014|BigDeer|6 Comments

Hey Mike: Just wanted to share a picture of the buck I shot Saturday morning Nov. 1st, 8:00am. It was 26 degrees and frosty out. I could hear him coming from over a hundred yards away in the crunchy leaves. Almost no wind. He's my best bow kill to date. He was on the prowl looking for does. Shot him at 25 yards, double lung with a Thunderhead Razor. Only went maybe 60 yards and piled up. Thanks Mike and keep up the good work.--Scott Geurink "aka Scott from MI" Love posting these BIG DEER blogger bucks, send me yours.

Ohio: Huge 8-Point Buck

admin2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 17th, 2014|Big Deer Stories, BigDeer|2 Comments

Hey Mike, this is Devin Danflous I shot the 200-inch, 21-point back when I was 14 (see picture below). This is my dad's buck from this season. It's a buck I jumped up toward the beginning of the year and I was determined to get him. My dad went out one day while I was at school, sat in a blind where I shot my big buck and shot this pig of an 8-point. I was happy for him and glad that one of us got the buck.—Thanks, Devin from Ohio

How To Hunt Buck Scrapes

admin2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 14th, 2014|Deer Hunting, Deer Management|1 Comment

Mike, I haven’t had much luck hunting scrapes, what do you suggest? Emory P. from PA Emory, I hear you man, scrape hunting is dang unpredictable. But here’s something to think about. A University of Georgia study found that three, five or more bucks might scrape like crazy on one ridge or in a creek bottom, while other sets of scrapes only 300 yards or so away might go cold overnight. So you always have to be looking for and hunting the hottest scrapes with the most buck activity right now. I suggest: If you hunt a set of scrapes for two or three days and don’t see a buck, pull out of there immediately and scout for hotter, fresher scrapes 200 [...]

New Deer-Rut Science: Big Bucks Move Midday

admin2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 12th, 2014|BigDeer, Deer Science|3 Comments

Hot off the press, the College of Agricultural Sciences at Penn State reports: Based on bucks wearing GPS radio collars during the 2013 rut, buck movements declined through the early morning. From 8AM to 11AM, bucks moved the least during that period of the day. But you better be in the woods and ready by 11:00 as buck movements increased to some of their highest levels from 11AM to 2PM. The (chart) above shows movements of bucks wearing GPS radio-collars from November 1st to 10th (early November) and November 11th to 20th (mid-November). The distances bucks moved are in 3-hour periods. Peak buck movements were from 2 to 5AM and from 11AM to 2PM. This further confirms what I have [...]

Ohio: Giant 165-Inch Bow Buck

admin2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 10th, 2014|BigDeer|1 Comment

Today’s blog is from 20-year-old Ohio bowhunter Pierce Moore: As opening day in Ohio closed in, I made the sudden decision to take off the first week of bow season. I told a few people I was taking off the first week, and they looked at me like I was crazy. The first week of season is when the deer have had the least amount of pressure, if any pressure at all. I also took into account the moon phase for the week, and I was left with no doubt in my mind that I had to be in the stand opening week. I had two mature bucks I was anxious to see from my tree stand and hopefully have the [...]
