Today’s guest blog is from Oklahoma hunter Matt Mosley: Mike: I have been following your website for a few years now and have been watching your show as well. I love them both, as I live to bow hunt. I'm actually a Loan Officer for a living but that is so I can feed my kids and my bow hunting appetite. This last Sunday I was sitting in my favorite tree stand. It was 45 degrees in southeast Oklahoma. I was surrounded by does in every direction, and I thought to myself, “There has got to be a buck checking in on all of these does.” Out of nowhere a 150-inch bruiser walks under my stand and stops 20 yards [...]

Hey Mike, another good year on the home place property in Kansas for my son Zach. We skipped last year to focus on grades, and this season Zach and I gave the early muzzleloader hunt another shot. Less than 48 hours in the state and we were packing up to head home with another great buck for Zach!

This is the first true monster of the 2013 season, shot last week in southeastern Wisconsin. Photos of the incredible buck were first posted on the Whale-Tales Archery  website. Word is the rack rough-scored 244” and could be the new state archery record. That’s all we know for now. Funny, I was up in that part of the world in July, talking with and filming Wisconsin bowhunters for an episode of BIG DEER TV to air this October. I remember standing with the current No. 1 non-typical bow buck--Wayne Schumacher’s 243 6/8” monster—and saying into the camera, “This is some of the best big buck country in America…Wayne’s record could stand for another 10 years, or it could fall this [...]
