admin2020-06-10T09:17:00-04:00January 4th, 2016|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV, BigDeer|4 Comments

I got some photos from Jeff Harrison, and immediately knew his monster would be one of the top bucks killed in North America in 2015. I went searching for the story and found it was posted on the Minnesota Hunting Club’s website. Thanks to Matt Carroll for allowing us to reprint an edited version here on BIG DEER: December 6th, 2015. Blue Earth County. A day Jeff Harrison will never forget. The day started out like any other for Jeff, throw on the camo, gather things and head to the woods. This day was different and dreary though; the fog was thick, creating a damp atmosphere. For those of you that muzzle load, you understand that is not ideal weather. Jeff [...]

From Nathan G.: This is my son, Nathan, he is 6 years old. He has hunted with me since he was 4, but this was his first kill. We hunted in Mason Co., Texas over Thanksgiving weekend. I grunted up this buck late in the evening after a rainy day. Look at that face, a hunter for life now. Way to go guys, awesome buck.

Venado Grande (Big Deer)! This 30-inch-wide monster was shot at El Puerto Ranch in Mexico, old mature buck of a lifetime. A more impressive whitetail you will never see. Very few whitetails grow a rack this wide--what is your widest rack ever?

Hello Mike: Kieran Weed here, big fan of your show. Got this monster opening morning 11/21/15 at about 9:30 am in Fond Du Lac County WI. Jumped him out of a patch of grass in the middle of a 300-acre bean stubble field. 3 shots with my .300 WSM and he was down. 18 scorable points, green scores 183 5/8. Awesome buck Kieran, way to go man! As the season winds down, everybody send more big-deer photos and stories for me to post and share.

Bowhunting Deer: Shooting At Twilight

admin2020-06-10T09:17:02-04:00October 19th, 2015|Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Bowhunting, Deer Hunting|Comments Off on Bowhunting Deer: Shooting At Twilight

TWILIGHT: the soft, scattered light that illuminates the sky when the sun is just below the horizon, either from daybreak to sunrise or from sunset to nightfall. In the afternoon when the sun reaches 18 degrees below the horizon the twilight's brightness is nearly zero and night begins. When the sun again reaches 18 degrees below the horizon the following daybreak, night ends and morning twilight begins. In either of the twilight periods, the first and last minutes of legal shooting time, light is flat and gray; trees and other objects are silhouetted against the bright skyline, and there are no shadows in the woods. While either twilight is prime time for bucks to move, it is a tricky time for hunters. [...]
