Montana: Milk River Trad Buck

Note: One of the greatest disappointments of my hunting career is not having hunted out on the Milk River for the last 3 years. Miss everything about it—the sights, sounds and smells of the river; the intense on-the-ground bow action; the camaraderie with my dear friends, Luke and Eliot Strommen. Man we had fun and filmed some awesome TV shows and shot some fine bucks out there the last 10 years, before most of the deer died. Luke sent me this blog, and all the good times and memories came flooding back…      Mike: I had been hunting an area along the river for about two weeks, from a pair of new tree stands that I had put up back [...]

Indiana: Giant Buck Dies on Fence

2020-06-10T09:23:06-04:00December 18th, 2013|BigDeer|4 Comments

Illinois: Giant Shotgun Buck!

Thanks to Zach Atkins for this cool story: Hey Mike, my girlfriend and I had come home from hunting one day and we were eating breakfast. Ellie happened to look outside and about 200 yards out in the field was this monster. We put our boots back on and snuck out to put the sneak on him. We bellied crawled to about 85 yards from him and she dropped him with one shot from the H&R shotgun. He has tons of character!
