Thanks to T.J. for this report from the deep South, where the rut rocks in December: Mike: I am sending you this picture to show how big the bucks can get down here. This buck was taken off a good friend of mine's hunting lease in Vicksburg, MS. He's a main-frame 8-point with a split G-2, split brow tine, and a lot of kickers off his bases. 20 inches wide, 26-inch beams and a green score of 173 inches! Well over 200 pounds, a true Mississippi stud. Wow, check the mass, awesome. Thanks T.J. I gotta get back down to Mississippi and hunt soon.

We have been shooting some amazingly wide bucks here in VA the last couple of seasons, here’s another one that was shot December 20 not too far from my house: Hey Mike: This buck was shot by my buddy's dad in Orange County: 9- inch G-2, 23.5" main beams, 24.5" outside spread, heavy bases. Shot him at 75 yards with 30.06, 150-grain bullet. If you could give him a shout out that would be awesome!—Your friend Tanner Knecht Shout out given and well deserved for this beautiful VA deer, way to go man!

Michigan: Monster 12-Point Buck

"I didn't take a phone, a watch, binoculars, anything," Jeff Toy said. But on a whim, he grabbed a handful of shells for his coat pocket, a spare gun, and a 5-gallon bucket to sit on at the edge of the property while his fellow hunters used his deer stands… He was perched on the bucket, enduring snow and wind…when a deer "came wandering through without a care in the world"…when it got within a couple of hundred yards…he took his shot… Click here for the entire story of this massive Michigan monster, one of the top bucks of 2013!

Special thanks to South Dakota hunter Kelly Kirsch for this awesome picture (click picture to enlarge it). Kelly had told me earlier that he’d come up with an idea for his shed collection, and his tree blew me away. Fantastic, the new official Christmas tree of BIG DEER! And thanks to all you bloggers for making 2013 our biggest traffic year yet for BIG DEER. I truly appreciate your support, and look forward to 2014 (we’re working on some cool new stuff). Merry Christmas and happy New Year. God bless you and your family…and if you’re still hunting a buck, good luck.—M.H.
