Double-Deer Mount: Do You Like It?

admin2020-06-10T09:23:37-04:00April 5th, 2013|BigDeer|4 Comments

First I’ve seen of a mount like this. Do you dig it? I’m not sure I do, though that’s a good-looking buck (old and thick, and a nice taxidermy job). I suppose that if the person shot one of the deer and then stayed on stand and shot the other one the same day (legal in many states if you’ve got the proper tags) that would be a way to preserve the memory. Or maybe the buck came by dogging the doe, and the hunter dropped them both with a couple of shots on a once in a lifetime hunt? Anyway, do you like the double mount, would you do it?

781-Pound Wild Boar!

admin2020-06-10T09:23:37-04:00April 4th, 2013|BigDeer, Hunting News, Predator Hunting|Comments Off on 781-Pound Wild Boar!

As I told you in this post last month I am really into wild hogs for some reason right now, so when this picture popped up on my Facebook I got intrigued: …a Turkish wild boar weighing in at 781 lbs. I'm sure one of these things could do damage if it got a hold of you! Immediately people started questioning the hog’s veracity: the guy is sitting way behind it, that’s why it looks so big…Turkish hogs only get to 200 pounds or so…it’s a Russian boar, but they top out at 600… I have no idea, but look at the boar’s front hoof—it’s bigger than the guy’s head and body! I’m sure the pig is real, but something [...]

Second Amendment Under Attack!

Most gun owners/deer hunters know that our 2A rights are under attack as never before, but in recent weeks I have sensed some complacency amongst us. We cannot do that! The gun-grabbing politicians thrive on our non-action as they try and ram through their radical agenda. We must stay vigilant! These 2 things I saw today ought to get your attention. Washington Times: A group of congressional Democrats has signed on to new legislation that would mandate liability insurance for all gun owners in the United States — and fine those who refuse to purchase it as much as $10,000. CBS New York: In addition to creating a new registry for high-capacity magazines and an expansion of [...]

Missouri: Picked-Up Rack Scores 270-Plus!

admin2020-06-10T09:23:37-04:00April 2nd, 2013|Big Deer Stories, BigDeer, Shed Hunting|2 Comments

From the Missouri Dept. of Conservation: On the evening of Wednesday, March 13, an antler shed hunter discovered a large, near-record set of non-typical antlers while searching the August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area in St. Charles. Preliminary reports say the rack has 37 points and scores in the 270s. The buck was likely 5 ½ to 6 1/2. It will be one of the top 5 NT bucks ever grown in Missouri. Nobody knows for sure what killed the buck last summer/fall, but it’s safe to assume he was another victim of the big EHD outbreak of 2012. BTW, the shed hunter gets to keep the rack that he found on state land, but a paper he was issued [...]

BIG DEER Predator Hunt

Last week I flew into still snowy Montana and hunted coyotes with my buddies Luke and Reed (second and third from left in picture), and with Jesse (standing) and Lance manning the cameras. We had a blast and shot 3 on film for a special show I’m putting together on the coyote/whitetail dynamic. How many deer do coyotes kill? Do they eat adult deer as well as fawns? How might the predators affect your deer hunting in the future? Those are things we’ll discuss in the show, with the information weaved around this hunt. It was fun and invigorating hunting. We drove out onto the plains in the dark, got the wind right, and with the huge full [...]
