Deer Rifle Update: Remington Model 783

admin2020-06-10T09:19:39-04:00March 18th, 2015|Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Deer Guns & Loads, Remington|9 Comments

I was one of the first hunters to shoot and test the Model 783 back in 2012. That November John Fink, who works for Remington, shot the first ever buck with the 783 on a hunt with me in Saskatchewan. We filmed that 160-inch giant going down for my show, Big Deer TV On Sportsman Channel. When I posted my first review on the Model 783 in January 2013, I had shot the rifle (in .30-06 caliber) quite a bit, but I had never killed a deer with. I have since shot 5 bucks with the 783, 2 with the .30-06 and 3 with one chambered for .270. A recap of the Model 783’s features and specs: Built in Mayfield, KY, the 783 bolt-action has [...]

BIG DEER TV: Giant Buck in Kansas

admin2020-06-10T09:19:51-04:00March 10th, 2015|Big Deer TV, BigDeer|2 Comments

Danny filmed this buck in Kansas one afternoon last fall...at 600 yards. When you see that much rack (esp. G-4s) from that far away you know it's a big deer. Second I saw him I hissed, "170!" And look how long his body is. Sometimes a buck’s huge size can make his rack look even smaller than it is. Back at the camp house that night I told the landowner I had seen a Boone and Crockett, or close to it. “Why didn’t you shoot?” he asked. “Six hundred is too far for me, and especially on TV,” I said. “Aw, you could have gotten him,” he growled. And I could have missed…or worse. Most hunters will never get the opportunity to see [...]

Alabama Hunter’s True Deer Obsession

admin2020-06-10T09:19:51-04:00March 9th, 2015|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV, BigDeer|6 Comments

Got this email the other day with “Deer Obsession” in the subject line: Mike: I watch your show religiously, and would like to share this story. I live in Alabama, and this past January, 27, I had a heart attack while at work. Spent 3 days in the hospital and was released to go home on the 29th. I wasn't able to get into the woods for a few days in my ladder stand, but finally I couldn't take it anymore. On a warm, rainy morning I walked down to my pop-up blind and had a seat. At 10:30 this buck came by. Not a monster but I'm proud of him anyway. He will go on the wall. Just wanted [...]

Kentucky Big Buck: Troy Gentry’s Ft. Knox Giant, 186 6/8

admin2020-06-10T09:19:51-04:00February 24th, 2015|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV|3 Comments

My favorite segment on BIG DEER TV is American Deer Hunter. No matter where I’m hunting, my producers and I try to find a local hunter in the area who has shot a magnificent whitetail. During a break in the hunting, we head over to the hunter’s house to film him and hear the story. When the new season of BIG DEER starts this July, you’ll see and hear Troy Gentry talk about the day he killed this 186” 10-point in Bullitt County, Kentucky . FYI, when we show up with the cameras you never know how a hunter will react. As you will see on this show, Troy was a natural, smooth and comfortable on camera as he told his story (paraphrased here): It [...]

Mike: I watch your show all the time, and just wanted to thank you for the information on deer hunting. Last year I watched the episode “10 things to Know about the Whitetail Rut.” Well, I took your advice about hunting on November 8th, and had the most activity I've ever experienced in the deer woods! I hunted every day from November 8th to the 11th 2014. I grunted, rattled and used the bleat can....and I shot the BIGGEST deer of my life! I shot him from a ground blind at 28 yards with my Hoyt Faktor 30.—Thanks and God bless, Kenny Kyte from southern Indiana PS: I've already scheduled my vacation for this time of year next deer season.
