Our friends at Petersen’s Bowhunting Magazine give us the specs on 6 new crossbows that were unveiled at the 2018 Archery Trade Association show. Since getting a good buck with a crossbow on TV is high on my bucket list—while I have killed my share of deer with vertical bows, I have never even shot a crossbow, much less bagged a deer with one—this article was of interest. Some one-liners that caught my attention--I did not realize that crossbow technology and engineering had come so far so fast: …the (Mission) SUB-1, so named for its ability to consistently deliver groups less than 1 inch at 100 yards. At just 6 inches wide, the Stealth NXT (pictured) headlines TenPoint’s next generation [...]

From North Carolina Sportsman: Michael Edmonds of Inman, S.C. lost his sight during an industrial accident about four years ago, and with the loss of his sight, he thought his hunting days were over. But on Dec. 22, he killed a trophy while hunting with a friend with some specialized equipment. “It was a very emotional day for me… Next thing I knew, I was sitting there crying… It was a big accomplishment for me,” he said. Read the full story here. Way to go Mike, you’re an inspiration…God bless and good luck.

BIG DEER TV Season 7 Coming Summer 2018 on Sportsman Channel

We're 80% wrapped filming another season of BIG DEER TV, and what a ride it has been once again. I don't have the luxury of hunting sprawling private farms, or high-dollar lodges. And that's fine. I don't want hunt like that. We travel around North America and hunt wild deer in woods and on farms that are very similar to those that you hunt. Like you, most days we don't shoot a buck. A few days we do get lucky. My show is all about real-world deer hunting with real-world hunters. At least once a year, I take a flyer and go hunt an area and a type of whitetail I've never hunted before. This year, in December, we went [...]

Maine Deer Hunt Report

Thanks to our friend Kevin McKenna for submitting this field report from Maine, which I consider to be one of the hardest places in North America to shoot a big whitetail: Hey Mike: So a little update from our deer hunt in Maine back on Nov 10-19th 2017. We had some decent weather this year, a little warm in the afternoons in the 30s but mornings were in the teens to 20 degrees. Not as cold as we like and deer seemed to be moving mostly at night but an improvement from last year. We found some good buck sign in one spot and so-so sign in the other. One big buck we were after last year had another rub [...]

Special thanks to South Dakota hunter Kelly Kirsch for this awesome picture. Several years ago Kelly told me he’d come up with an idea for his shed collection, and his antler tree blew me away.

I truly appreciate your support, and look forward to 2018 (we’re working on some cool new stuff). And thanks for watching BIG DEER TV on the Sportsman Channel. We’re wrapping up filming of Season 7, with new episodes coming next summer. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless you and your family…if you’re still hunting a buck, good [...]
