Iowa Giant Buck

From Stevan Louch, thanks for sharing: My brother David killed this buck November 7 in Oscalossa. It's a main-frame 8-point. Biggest antlers I've ever held. I don't know what the record is for an 8-point; let me know what you think and if there's a possible record here. He shot it with a Bowtech and Grim Reaper broadhead. This is obviously a huge and beautiful buck, and to me the kickers and stickers give it more character. But my research of the 5 top 8-point bucks in the world shows that all of them, scoring 180 to 183 net B&C, have amazingly typical antlers with fewer deductions than David’s awesome buck. But the Louch Buck has a frame and beams [...]

Missouri: 6½-Year-Old Ghost Buck

This is a great guest post from our friend Zach Fleer out in Missouri: Mike: Finally caught up to this 6 ½-year-old buck this weekend. I have four years of trail camera history with this buck, and this marks the first time I ever laid eyes on him. He would spend his summers on one end of our farm, and disappear the first week of September. Each of the last few seasons, I would assume he was dead, and then he would show back up in May. He wasn’t really on my radar much during the last few hunting seasons because of this, and because I was chasing the giant freak the last couple years. I shot him on the [...]

November 2016 Supermoon Rut Tactics

admin2020-06-10T09:16:32-04:00November 14th, 2016|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Deer Hunting, Deer Management|1 Comment

The full moon now is not only the closest and brightest “supermoon” of 2016, but it’s also the largest since 1948. Check it out tonight because a full moon won't come this close to Earth again until Nov. 25, 2034. I don’t know if the closeness and brightness of this moon will make the whitetails rut any harder than normal, but I do believe this full-moon rut week will be a good time to kill a big deer. If you have read my blogs and watched my BIG DEER TV show, you know I’ve been working on a new theory: that mature bucks move great during the day in and around any full moon in early to mid-November. This flies [...]

Going Ground For A Good Buck

admin2020-06-10T09:16:32-04:00November 3rd, 2016|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Deer Hunting|3 Comments

Mike, I went hunting yesterday for the first time since 10/1/15. (Click and read The Fall: Must-Read for Tree Stand Hunters). Man did it ever feel good to be back out there! I promised my wife I'd never climb another tree without 100% safety measures put in place. I'm determined to shoot a good buck from a ground blind, or just hunting from the ground, this year. Here is a good buck we got a shot of a week ago. Good luck out there to you and all the bloggers.—Dean Weimer Good luck Dean, rooting for you man! And everybody wear your harness and be careful out there.

Saskatchewan Huntress Smokes 205” Mule Deer

From my friend Oneil Baillargeon, who enlisted the help of Anthony Springer as they looked for a huge muley buck for Oneil’s fiancé, Taylor Mills: “Had an amazing week in southern Saskatchewan. Taylor was fortunate enough to draw a pretty special mule deer tag this year, so Anthony and I went down for a few days at the end of July to do some scouting and talk with landowners. We came across “Big Smo” nearly 3 months ago, and went back to hunt him when the season opened. After putting over 30 miles on foot, and Taylor passing up a 170-class buck, and us sneaking into 40 yards of a 185-190" buck that she decided wasn't quite big enough, we [...]
