Alberta: Huge Freak Buck!

2020-06-10T09:23:06-04:00December 23rd, 2013|BigDeer|2 Comments

One of my Canadian friends texted me this photo. The freak was supposedly shot in northern Alberta the last week of November.

Man we had fun and filmed some awesome TV shows and shot some fine bucks out there the last 10 years, before most of the deer died. Luke sent me this blog, and all the good times and memories came flooding back…      Mike: I had been hunting an area along the river for about two weeks, from a pair of new tree stands that I had put up back [...]

Indiana: Giant Buck Dies on Fence

We see this in urban/suburban areas every rut: A buck chasing a doe doesn’t quite make it over an ornamental steel fence, becomes impaled and dies. Very sad, what a shame. This occurred recently in Terre Haute. This is a giant, look at that rack and especially those brows.
