Guest blog w/great tactical information from my friend and traditional bowhunter Luke Strommen, a charter member of the Big Deer Hunt Team: One time I spotted a gnarly 6x6 during my scouting and glassing routines in the summer. The mature whitetail used his primary core area throughout July and August. I saw him many times and took some distant digital images of him from one of my tree stands. He would browse in an irrigated alfalfa field, and having completed his evening ritual, he’d sneak off to spend the night in a 20-acre corn field nearby. He continued this pattern into the early archery season in September, consistently passing by one of my stands, but late. I waited for the [...]

If you are in the market for a new deer rifle for 2018 head to the nearest Cabela’s or Bass Pro until August 26 and grab a Remington Model 783 for a tad over $300 with tax. This is an unbelievable deal for one of the most accurate and dependable deer rifles I have shot in the last 6 years. I was the first blogger/hunter to shoot and test the Model 783, back in the fall of 2012. Later that November my friend John, who at the time worked for Remington, shot the first buck ever with the 783 on a hunt with me in Saskatchewan. We filmed the hunt for that 160-inch giant for my show Big Deer TV [...]

Indiana: Huge Roadkill Buck

This is the time of year when, sadly, the road-kills start showing up. This one was was hit by a car about a week ago in Indiana. No details yet, but I'd bet some hunters were scouting this magnificent animal, and probably have trail camera images of him.

BIG DEER TV Hunts Feral Hogs in Georgia

I’ve shot my share of wild hogs over the years, mostly in Texas and Florida. I knew this invasive species was a general nuisance that rooted up crops and competed with deer for food sources. But it wasn’t until I went down to South Georgia and talked with the locals and hunted pigs for a few days on TV that I realized what a serious problem expanding populations of hogs are in many parts of the country. “Somebody rides through this property every day, looking for and trying to eradicate hogs,” says landowner Robbie Barkley. “Hogs are in our feed patches, in the yard…they’re everywhere.” “People who don’t have hogs in their area don’t realize how destructive they are,” says [...]

Trail-Camera Photos: Summer of “Long Brow” Buck

admin2020-06-10T09:15:52-04:00August 3rd, 2018|Big Deer Stories, BigDeer, Deer Hunting, Deer Management|1 Comment

In early June I got this picture from our friend Dan: Gonna keep an eye on this one… 1,300 pics from 2 cams, 15 different bucks so far, this one is the biggest… 3 others have potential, a lot of growing to do in the next 2 months. Most bucks likely more to show up here to their summer range later… Later on in June Dan wrote: He might be a younger deer. Straight back and belly. What are your thoughts on age? I wrote back and said that judging bucks in summer in tough, they look lean and have skinny necks… Long Brow's rack had a major growth spurt! In July: Weekly update of Long Brow. His G2s are finally above [...]
