Ohio: Monster Buck 183″ and Wide

Today’s cool blog from Eric Barrett, who killed this giant in 2011: Mike: It was October, during archery season, and I had been hearing about a giant deer that a guy had been seeing as he hunted the adjoining farm. He had several trail cam pictures and even a video of the deer in velvet feeding in a green soybean field. I had heard that the deer had around a 30-inch spread, so I was intrigued. I couldn’t even imagine how many gallons of gas I burned and how many hours I spent looking around, just trying to lay eyes on the deer. After all that, I had nothing. No trail cam pictures, no sightings, nothing. Frustrated, I kind of blew it [...]

4 Mid-November Deer Rut Tactics

This is a transitional time in the woods. Some does have been bred, others are still to be bred, bow season is still on in some states, the rifles are starting to boom (or will shortly) in other areas. Four things to keep in mind: #1: Hunt where two or three ridges converge and peter out into a creek bottom or swamp. The thicker the cover the better. If food sources are anywhere close, the spot will be a dumping ground for lots of whitetails. No doubt you’ll find trails, rubs and scrapes. Set a stand or blind on a vantage 150 yards or so downwind of a convergence of hills and watch for a day or two. Once you [...]

Big Deer TV: Update From The Road

admin2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 20th, 2014|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV, BigDeer|5 Comments

Been on the road chasing the rut for 2 weeks now, finally got some Wi-Fi to check in. Ten days ago up in Saskatchewan I shot one of the biggest 8-pointers I've killed in a while, the rack scored 140. It was cold, near zero, but no snow. The buck ghosted down a ridge at 3 pm, further confirmation that big bucks move at midday especially during a full moon. Shot him with my Remington Model 783 in .270 with a 150-grain Core-Lokt SP bullet. From there headed down to Sheridan, Wyoming, where I hunted in the shadows of the Bighorn Mountains. It snowed and was severely cold...temps -10, snow, and one day the legendary Wyoming winds gusted to -40 and -50. But [...]

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
