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 [...]

From the Virginia Whitetails Facebook page: Let's tip our hats to Clyde, who is 100 years old! 100 years old, hunting from a tree stand, and took this buck during muzzleloader. WOW! I love posting all the bucks from my home state, but this one is the best. Way to go Clyde!

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!

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 [...]

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.
