Virginia Buck W/Massive Antler Growth For May Killed by Car

As soon as this picture hit Facebook Wednesday (May 30, 2018) my phone started buzzing. Word was this buck was hit that morning on Route 262 in Augusta County, VA. Knowing I live in Virginia, people were skeptical and asked me if it was legit. The biggest question was, “That’s a lot of antler growth for May, too much maybe.” Many people thought the picture was from another time and state; some even said it was Photoshop. I did some digging and found a Facebook post from a lady who said this happened right in front of her that morning and “the air bags deployed and hit the driver in the face…he was pretty shaken up but OK…the deer was [...]

Mysterious Wolf-Life Creature Shot In Montana

admin2020-06-10T09:15:53-04:00May 31st, 2018|Big Deer Stories, BigDeer, Deer Hunting, Predator Hunting|Comments Off on Mysterious Wolf-Life Creature Shot In Montana

From the Great Falls Tribune: Was it a wolf, some type of hybrid, or a creature that hasn't been seen in Montana since the Ice Age? On May 16 a lone wolf-like animal was shot and killed on a ranch outside Denton. With long grayish fur, a large head and an extended snout, the animal shared many of the same characteristics as a wolf; but its ears were too large, its legs and body too short, its fur uncharacteristic of that common to a wolf. So what was it? At this point, no one is 100 percent sure. The locals are buzzing about the possibilities. Some think it’s a wolf with weird genetics...others say grizzly cub…or a Dire Wolf, an extinct prehistoric carnivore that [...]

Is “Lion Zebra Death Struggle” The Best Taxidermy Ever?

Got this from a guy who wrote: Mike, don't know anything about this other than it is cool as hell! The message with the picture read: "World Taxidermy Championship a few years ago, notice how carefully this was put together...look at each angle and remember, there are no ropes or lines holding any of this up. The Lion is held up by his tail, where it contacts the zebra’s leg, and the entire mount is supported by the zebra’s back leg. Pretty amazing. And cool as hell.

I saw this picture on Facebook the other day and it ticked me off, so I did a little digging. KVAL in Eugene, Oregon, reports: "The wounds hadn't killed the deer, which were seen walking around with the arrows sticking out of their bodies. Biologists from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife worked with Oregon State Police wildlife officers to track down the deer.They tranquilized the animals, removed the arrows and treated the wounds. "The deer - an adult doe and a yearling doe - showed no visible signs of infection. “'Pictures of these deer stuck with arrows have been circulating widely in the media and social media, and understandably, it’s upsetting to see,” said Steve Niemela, Rogue District [...]

Received this note from a loyal blog reader. I could not have said it better myself, and I reprint in honor of all those who serve and have served, and especially to those who gave all: Mike: A nice blog for the weekend would be a dedication to the REAL HEROES of our country. The men and women that serve and have served in our Armed Forces are owed well-deserved respect and gratitude from us. "To those who have fallen, you will never be forgotten.” We WOULD NOT be able to pursue our dreams of freedom and firearms and hunting if not for the men and women that we honor this weekend. Raise a drink during a celebration this weekend [...]
