Iowa: Lady Bowhunter Bags Giant Buck!

Thanks to Tami O’Day for today’s guest blog. Great job Tami! My husband and I typically only get a few days to hunt together because of his hunting and filming commitments, but we had aligned our time away from work this fall to give us 6 days. The morning of October 31, he left for work at 3 am and set the alarm for 5:20 so I would be up when he came back at 5:30 am. He went to work, got 2 hours in, called me at 5:25 to make sure I was up “because it feels like a great day to poke a hole in a buck.” We pulled into the farm at 6:10 and did our pre-hunt [...]

Trail-Cam: Coyote/Buck Feed Together!

Thanks to Neil Webb from Arkansas for sharing these unusual photos: Mike: I've been overrun with coyotes this year, with 4 or 5 of the predators showing up at times, and the deer activity dropped to nothing. So imagine my surprise when I checked the camera and got these pictures. The feeders are only 5 feet apart. Pretty cool and like nothing I've ever seen before. I did see this little buck a week later chasing a couple of does, and that might help explain his behavior a little. Now if I can just see the coyote and put an end to his camera time! Love the show and keep supporting what we all love to do. —Neil Check it [...]

Iowa: Public-Land 190″ Buck!

Mike: Thought I would share some pics of a brute I took off public land in Iowa with my bow. My best buck ever. I had a lot of trail cam pictures of him during the summer and hunted him hard, and it all came together on the morning of November 8th. He has 20 points and grossed in the 190’s. —Thanks, Ben Fein Ben, what a buck, congrats! This is one of the best hunting accomplishments of the 2013 season for sure, way to go man.

Rutting Buck Swims River!

Hi Mike: Check out the photo taken by a buddy of mine while crabbing on the Navesink River in New Jersey. This buck was dogging the doe up and down the river bank until she got fed up and jumped in to swim across. They swam a good 300 yards across that section which dumps out into the Atlantic about a 1/2 mile away. The way bucks chase does always amazes me. Just when you think you've seen it all! —Paul Milata

Indiana: Tall-Tined Shotgun Buck

admin2020-06-10T09:23:19-04:00December 5th, 2013|BigDeer|4 Comments

Thanks to Mike Bauer, who shot this giant in Shelby Co. last week, for today’s guest blog: It had been a long season with lots of up’s and down’s. Opening day of shotgun season I shot an 11-pointer only to have the people on the neighboring property tag my buck. I was pretty upset to say the least. I had been hunting him since bow season opened. I spent Thanksgiving with my family and decided late Thursday night that I was going to hunt on Friday. My alarm went off and I kept hitting the snooze button. Got to the property a little late and rushed to get in my stand. But I had activity 5 minutes later. A doe came [...]
