MI: BIG DEER Blogger Shoots Biggest Bow Buck

2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 19th, 2014|BigDeer|6 Comments

Hey Mike: Just wanted to share a picture of the buck I shot Saturday morning Nov. 1st, 8:00am. It was 26 degrees and frosty out. I could hear him coming from over a hundred yards away in the crunchy leaves. Almost no wind. He's my best bow kill to date. He was on the prowl looking for does. Shot him at 25 yards, double lung with a Thunderhead Razor. Only went maybe 60 yards and piled up. Thanks Mike and keep up the good work.--Scott Geurink "aka Scott from MI" Love posting these BIG DEER blogger bucks, send me yours.

Ohio: Huge 8-Point Buck

2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 17th, 2014|Big Deer Stories, BigDeer|2 Comments

Hey Mike, this is Devin Danflous I shot the 200-inch, 21-point back when I was 14 (see picture below). This is my dad's buck from this season. It's a buck I jumped up toward the beginning of the year and I was determined to get him. My dad went out one day while I was at school, sat in a blind where I shot my big buck and shot this pig of an 8-point. I was happy for him and glad that one of us got the buck.—Thanks, Devin from Ohio

New Deer-Rut Science: Big Bucks Move Midday

2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 12th, 2014|BigDeer, Deer Science|3 Comments

Hot off the press, the College of Agricultural Sciences at Penn State reports: Based on bucks wearing GPS radio collars during the 2013 rut, buck movements declined through the early morning. From 8AM to 11AM, bucks moved the least during that period of the day. But you better be in the woods and ready by 11:00 as  buck movements increased to some of their highest levels from 11AM to 2PM. The (chart) above shows movements of bucks wearing GPS radio-collars from November 1st to 10th (early November) and November 11th to 20th (mid-November). The distances bucks moved are in 3-hour periods. Peak buck movements were from 2 to 5AM and from 11AM to 2PM. This further confirms what I have [...]

Ohio: Giant 165-Inch Bow Buck

2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 10th, 2014|BigDeer|1 Comment

Today’s blog is from 20-year-old Ohio bowhunter Pierce Moore: As opening day in Ohio closed in, I made the sudden decision to take off the first week of bow season. I told a few people I was taking off the first week, and they looked at me like I was crazy. The first week of season is when the deer have had the least amount of pressure, if any pressure at all. I also took into account the moon phase for the week, and I was left with no doubt in my mind that I had to be in the stand opening week. I had two mature bucks I was anxious to see from my tree stand and hopefully have the [...]

November Rut: 3 Best Days to Hunt

2020-06-10T09:19:54-04:00November 7th, 2014|BigDeer|2 Comments

November 8 Regardless of weather or phase of the moon, most does in the northern two-thirds of America will be bred between November 5 and Thanksgiving—this year, next fall and so on. Historically, November 8 has been and will continue to be one of the top big-buck days within this window. Get this: A whopping 15 Boone and Crockett bucks were killed on November 8, 2003, by far the most of any day that fall. Why so good? Well, in two or three days most of a herd’s does will pop into heat. For these two or three days prior, the horny big boys lug around in a daze and wait for that to happen. A giant might walk right [...]
