This infographic from Quincy Compressor got my attention, what do you think? Step 1: Hang Your Deer You start out the same way you would normally skin a deer. There are different thoughts about if it’s better to hang the deer head up or head down, but we’ve found that when you’re using an air compressor it doesn’t make a difference. Pick whichever way you’d like or are used to and hang the deer at a level where you can easily reach the whole thing.   Step 2: Cut A Hole Once your deer is hanging securely, it’s time to make the first cut. Use a knife to cut a small hole in the skin that covers the deer’s thigh. [...]

4 Deer Calling/Rattling Tips

One October morning in South Dakota, I saw a 150-class buck duck into a ditch with a doe. I clicked my rattling horns four times. The big boy charged 10 yards out of the cover, stamped his foot and looked for the interlopers before he ducked back into the cover with his girl. I clicked them again, harder and louder. He bolted out and ran 40 yards closer, but he was still 50 yards out of bow range. While I didn’t get him, at least I had a chance and a fun close encounter. The point: You have nothing to lose by calling to any rutting buck you see; sometimes a few horn clacks or grunts are all it takes. [...]

Maryland Girl’s First Bow Buck

Today’s guest blog from our friend Danny Myers: My daughter Lexi had reached the point that all of us have reached at some point in our hunting lives. It was several weeks into the season, and she still had not had a deer within bow range.  On top of that the temperatures had been in the upper 80's for the last week or so.  She was frustrated and so was I.  We decided to take a week off and according to the cameras, we didn't miss anything. Finally the temperatures broke, and it started to feel like fall again. It took about a 10-minute lecture convincing her to go that night, but afterward, she was happy she did. We were running [...]

Louisiana Dentist Kills Massive 230” Buck

When I saw this picture on my Twitter last week, I knew the buck would be one of the top non-typicals killed in 2017, and likely the biggest with a bow. Mississippi Sportsman tells us: A St. Francisville dentist on Oct. 5 arrowed what could be the largest Louisiana non-typical deer to be killed with a bow — and he was hunting pretty much where he works. "I killed the deer inside the city limits — behind my dentist office," Dr. Frank Sullivan said of the 18-pointer that grossed between 220 and 230 points. The monster has 3 drop tines, a third main beam, 11 points on the left and 7 points on the right side. This giant should fire [...]

Kentucky Bowhunter Kills Giant Buck That Had Vanished 2 Years!

2020-06-10T09:16:10-04:00October 10th, 2017|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Bowhunting, Deer Hunting|3 Comments

Today’s cool guest post from Kentucky bowhunter Alex Hamilton, who shot the biggest deer of his life earlier this season: Mike: This was the third season I had been after this buck. After first getting pictures of him in 2015, I was eager to get out and learn more about the buck’s travel pattern and core area. After tons of trail camera pictures and multiple sightings the deer vanished just weeks after the season opened, never to be seen again for the rest of that year and also the following season. Since the buck had vanished for almost a year and half, I assumed the worst. He had either been killed by another hunter or died from other reasons. About [...]
