Trail Camera: Mini-Beast Buck

2020-06-10T09:22:48-04:00July 17th, 2014|BigDeer, Deer Management|4 Comments

Remember this image of "The Beast" from yesterday? I said the gentleman who has the net Booner on his camera has hit the mother lode. Well, I was wrong. Now that guy has hit the rich lode. He posted this last night: NEW BUCK ALERT (below)... Lol... I think I will call him "Mini-Beast" since he lives on the same farm as "The Beast." Cool. From what I'm seeing early, this is going to be a good rack year, certainly better than 2013 I hope. Send me your trail-camera images to fire us up. You have my word I'll never divulge your name or the location of the buck you'll be hunting.

Giant Typical Buck on Trail Cam!

A gentleman somewhere in the Midwest (where else?) has hit the mother lode, and has this symmetrical 10-point giant on his cam. Look at those brows, and the rack is still growing! Unique shot in the corn like that. Net Boone for sure, good luck to the hunter.

Giant Velvet Buck Hit By Car!

One of our bloggers just sent this. He heard it happened this morning somewhere in PA, but he can't confirm it. With social media and the way rumors fly, it could be anywhere. "But wherever its location, that is heartbreaking," he wrote. It sure is. Anybody seen this before and know more?

Tree Stands: How Many Should You Set?

2020-06-10T09:22:48-04:00July 15th, 2014|BigDeer, Deer Hunting, Deer Management|3 Comments

My friend and expert bowhunter Terry Drury typically hangs 3 to 6 tree stands in a 100-acre block of timber. Ideally you’ll spread out those stands to cover as much woods as possible, and to have options for different winds. But don’t force that. “If I’ve got 100 acres but only 25 of those acres are conducive to hanging stands with quiet and hidden access to and from them, I’ll do all of my hunting from maybe 3 stands set strategically around those 25 acres,” says Drury. “Most hunters naturally want to hunt and cover as many acres as they can, and in theory that is good thinking. But if you try to bull your way into tough, thick spots and hang [...]

Trail Camera: How Old Is This Buck?

2020-06-10T09:22:48-04:00July 14th, 2014|BigDeer|13 Comments

Our friends Zach and Ellie from southern Illinois sent this picture of a buck they got from about 500 yards away. Ellie said, “We put our iPhone up to the spotting scope to capture this picture. How old do you think he is?” Well, what do you think: Is this buck 3.5 years old, 4.5, older? Remember, that rack will still grow for another month.
