Over the next 4 months, thousands of hunters will travel north to Alberta and Saskatchewan in search of big mule deer and whitetails. If your passport and paperwork are in order, getting into Canada with your bow or firearm is usually not much of a hassle. But nowadays, if you’re successful, getting your buck back into the U.S. can be a major hassle unless you know and follow the ever-changing rules for transporting deer parts. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been confirmed in wild deer in both Alberta and Saskatchewan, therefore CWD transport rules are in effect for bringing antlers, hides and meat back into every state in U.S. The rules: --The Big One: Before leaving camp and crossing the [...]

How To Hunt Deer On 30 Acres

admin2020-06-10T09:15:51-04:00August 27th, 2018|Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Bowhunting, Deer Hunting|1 Comment

I got an email from a guy who landed permission to hunt a 30-acre block of woods. He had 2 questions. Is that spot big enough to kill a good buck, and if so how should he hunt it? First, hell yeah, 30 acres or even 20 is big enough. Monsters are shot in small habitats like that every year. On any new property, you’ve got to find out what kind of terrain and vegetation you’re dealing with. Right now is time to check the property. Spend a day and walk every inch of it; carry an aerial map or consult Google Earth as you go for reference. Walk and look for funnels, edges, little ridges, etc. where deer will [...]

12 Giant Road-Kill Bucks

admin2020-06-10T09:15:52-04:00August 22nd, 2018|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Deer Hunting|1 Comment

I saw the first one below today on Twitter, and it got me to thinking about all the huge road-kills I’ve seen and posted on BIG DEER over the years. What a shame these magnificent animals had to die this way, unceremoniously whacked by a car or truck. I’m sure hunters had most if not all of the bucks on camera: Pennsylvania, Mifflin County, 2018 Virginia May 2018 Indiana 2018 Oklahoma 2017 Kentucky, Fort Campbell, 2017 Iowa "Titan" Kansas 2015 Alabama 2016 Oklahoma 2012 Maryland Double-Drop 2012 Virginia 2012 Pennsylvania, Warren County, 2010

How To Scout A Big Buck In Late Summer

Guest blog w/great tactical information from my friend and traditional bowhunter Luke Strommen, a charter member of the Big Deer Hunt Team: One time I spotted a gnarly 6x6 during my scouting and glassing routines in the summer. The mature whitetail used his primary core area throughout July and August. I saw him many times and took some distant digital images of him from one of my tree stands. He would browse in an irrigated alfalfa field, and having completed his evening ritual, he’d sneak off to spend the night in a 20-acre corn field nearby. He continued this pattern into the early archery season in September, consistently passing by one of my stands, but late. I waited for the [...]

If you are in the market for a new deer rifle for 2018 head to the nearest Cabela’s or Bass Pro until August 26 and grab a Remington Model 783 for a tad over $300 with tax. This is an unbelievable deal for one of the most accurate and dependable deer rifles I have shot in the last 6 years. I was the first blogger/hunter to shoot and test the Model 783, back in the fall of 2012. Later that November my friend John, who at the time worked for Remington, shot the first buck ever with the 783 on a hunt with me in Saskatchewan. We filmed the hunt for that 160-inch giant for my show Big Deer TV [...]
