Giant 10-Point Buck Update

admin2020-06-10T09:23:22-04:00September 4th, 2013|Big Deer Stories, BigDeer, Deer Management|8 Comments

Danny sent this last update before he starts hunting this huge 10-pointer that his wife named Spike on Friday: “I got an absolute ton of pictures of Spike last week. The majority of the pictures were nighttime, but for some reason he came into the field at 3:16 in the afternoon one day." I really like the image of him in the morning with a few other bucks. Unfortunately this spot is impossible to hunt in the morning with a bow. I have pictures of deer in this field’s corner from 11:30 p.m. thru 7:00 am every single day last week. There’s no way to get into the stand without blowing everything out of the fields. Our bow opener is [...]

Kansas Pick Up: 17-Point Rack w/10” Spread!

admin2020-06-10T09:23:22-04:00September 3rd, 2013|Big Deer Stories, BigDeer, Shed Hunting|4 Comments

Hey Mike, Some guys were bird hunting in southeastern Kansas in 2011, came upon a mud pit and saw just a little piece of the left beam sticking up in the mud. After a closer look they realized it was a whole deer buried in the pit! They dug out the skull and it was in awesome shape; I guess the mud had protected the rack from the weather and animals. We rough-scored it at 164 gross with only a 10 " inside spread… it has 6 points on the right beam, 9 on the left and also the spike in the middle with a fork on it! A friend and I are going to mount it soon. —Teddy Hensley [...]

South Carolina: Huge Velvet Buck!

admin2020-06-10T09:23:22-04:00August 29th, 2013|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV, BigDeer|5 Comments

On August 20, 12-year-old Tanner Herndon killed this 240-pound, 140-class giant in Dorchester County. Read the full story here. Taxidermist Dan Pernell of Summerville is doing the mounting, and he believes this buck will easily be one of the best killed in South Carolina this year, in terms of body weight and antler. Having just hunted a few miles from where Tanner shot his giant with a .243, I have some thoughts: Tanner shot his buck in a field of low, green peanuts. You hunt some unusual food sources in the Lowcountry. One evening Krista and I hunted in a cotton field adjacent to a peanut field. “I didn’t know deer would eat cotton,” I said into the camera. “Weird.” [...]

Tool Review: Trucker’s Friend

admin2020-06-10T09:23:22-04:00August 28th, 2013|BigDeer|3 Comments

We love tools and we need tools for what we do—clearing roads and brush, pitching deer camp, building sheds and meat-poles, tearing up stuff… The Trucker’s Friend, an all-purpose tool designed to meet the needs of professional truck drivers, can do all this and more. This medieval-looking hand tool is a good one to keep close in your hunting rig. Weighing 2.6 pounds and measuring 19 inches, the tool features a curved axe, hammer and nail pull, pry bar with leverage hook, chain hook and wire twist. It is quality made in the USA, with a cast-alloy steel blade and shank (rust resistant matte finish) and fiberglass handle with heavy rubber grip. I took this tool out and swung it [...]
