Money Stand for the Rut

Whitetails love to roam the points and strips of trees and brush that border rivers and streams and grain and hay fields nearby. One November long bow hunter Luke Strommen scouted such a series of points on his Montana ranch and found them torn up with buck sign. Major doe trails wended into the woods from fields to the west and south. The timber patches were littered with rubs and scrapes. Strommen could have hung a stand in any tree and seen deer, but he’s better than that. And he knows he has to be for 15-yard shots at bucks with his stick bow. He poked around and found the perfect ash tree near the nexus of the trails and [...]

Indiana: 2 More Giants Dead to EHD

Greg saw this post on Twitter and tweeted me about another Indiana giant that likely succumbed to EHD this summer. Dave saw it too and tweeted: “Here is another west central Indiana giant that was taken by EHD. This one was found in 2012.” #shame Two more world-class bucks that this dreadful disease killed. I hope scientists can figure out some way to battle this buck killer, but to date there is nothing we can do.

Virginia: Huge Bow Bear from Ground!

Today’s blog from fellow VA hunter Brandon. As I have said many times you never know what’s gonna happen in the woods. Hey Mike: A lot of folks are having a hard time finding acorns this year. I am one of the fortunate ones that discovered a small pocket of whites dropping. I have been watching deer here since opening day of bow season. This place is near perfect, but there are no good climbing trees in the immediate area. I decided I needed to hunt from the ground if I wanted a chance to get a deer with my bow. I decided upon a makeshift blind, and have been hunting it since opening day. Now for the real story. [...]

Deer Hunter Cakes

Strangely, there has been a run of hunting cakes popping up on the Internet. The big-buck wedding cake is sweet and a Web sensation. Very lifelike and what a huge rack! Notice the attention to detail, right down to the antler-grip knife handles. The Yeti (one of our great sponsors) cake is very cool. Only thing I would have done differently was to have a fresh, bloody back-strap hanging out the edge instead of the trout, but still awesome. This last one we posted before, but I figured it was a good time to show it again. I still say the arrow is too far back and a little too high, but maybe it would have clipped the liver.

Colorado: Monster Stag Buck!

Patrick (left), one hell of a guide who kills a lot of big deer, just helped his client to this unusual monster. OMG, I count 4 velvet drops! I would rather shoot that buck than a 170 typical, what about you?
