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. [...]

Don Dziedzina at Illinois Outdoors is first to report this monster. Word is a hunter shot the buck on October 28 on public land between Eagle River and St. Germain Wisconsin. Don says he’ll have more details to follow, “but for now, these are pictures worth a thousand words.” Wow, I’d say, that’s going to be one of the top non-typical bucks shot in America this year. Some will likely say the buck looks high-fence because of the white rack, which does look unusual, but I believe this giant is legit.    

This from our friend Tim O. in the Upper Peninsula, who writes, "I have 9 different wolves on trail-cam in the same area and I've seen 10 others…they're all different colors and are easily identifiable.” Here’s what happened to Tim the other day: I decided to take a 4-wheeler ride to swap out memory cards on a trail camera at one of my bow stands the other night. Instead of driving right into my spot I chose to walk in the last 150 yards. I swapped the cards and started walking out, but I took a wrong turn in the dark and didn't realize it right away.  I walked up on a fresh wolf deer kill! Immediately I heard growling [...]

Today’s blog is a guest post from Dean Weimer: In 2011 Virginia bowhunter James Edwards and some friends secured a lease on a central Ohio farm. That first year they set out trail cameras and started getting pictures of a wide and massive buck they named “The Big Seven Pointer.” They learned the buck was a homebody, and the most dominant animal on the farm. They had several encounters with him, but no one was able to seal the deal that year. In the months leading up to the 2012 Ohio bow opener the hunters talked of the buck often, and he got a new moniker: “Old No. 7” The deer was gaining legendary status amongst the group. “In late [...]

Our friend Art shot this old giant last night, I count 18 points. More and better pictures and the exclusive hunt details coming soon. Way to go Art!
