Alabama Hunter’s True Deer Obsession

admin2020-06-10T09:19:51-04:00March 9th, 2015|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV, BigDeer|6 Comments

Got this email the other day with “Deer Obsession” in the subject line: Mike: I watch your show religiously, and would like to share this story. I live in Alabama, and this past January, 27, I had a heart attack while at work. Spent 3 days in the hospital and was released to go home on the 29th. I wasn't able to get into the woods for a few days in my ladder stand, but finally I couldn't take it anymore. On a warm, rainy morning I walked down to my pop-up blind and had a seat. At 10:30 this buck came by. Not a monster but I'm proud of him anyway. He will go on the wall. Just wanted [...]

Kentucky Big Buck: Troy Gentry’s Ft. Knox Giant, 186 6/8

admin2020-06-10T09:19:51-04:00February 24th, 2015|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV|3 Comments

My favorite segment on BIG DEER TV is American Deer Hunter. No matter where I’m hunting, my producers and I try to find a local hunter in the area who has shot a magnificent whitetail. During a break in the hunting, we head over to the hunter’s house to film him and hear the story. When the new season of BIG DEER starts this July, you’ll see and hear Troy Gentry talk about the day he killed this 186” 10-point in Bullitt County, Kentucky . FYI, when we show up with the cameras you never know how a hunter will react. As you will see on this show, Troy was a natural, smooth and comfortable on camera as he told his story (paraphrased here): It [...]

Mike: I watch your show all the time, and just wanted to thank you for the information on deer hunting. Last year I watched the episode “10 things to Know about the Whitetail Rut.” Well, I took your advice about hunting on November 8th, and had the most activity I've ever experienced in the deer woods! I hunted every day from November 8th to the 11th 2014. I grunted, rattled and used the bleat can....and I shot the BIGGEST deer of my life! I shot him from a ground blind at 28 yards with my Hoyt Faktor 30.—Thanks and God bless, Kenny Kyte from southern Indiana PS: I've already scheduled my vacation for this time of year next deer season.

Big Deer TV: Update From The Road

admin2020-06-10T09:19:53-04:00November 20th, 2014|Big Deer Stories, Big Deer TV, BigDeer|5 Comments

Been on the road chasing the rut for 2 weeks now, finally got some Wi-Fi to check in. Ten days ago up in Saskatchewan I shot one of the biggest 8-pointers I've killed in a while, the rack scored 140. It was cold, near zero, but no snow. The buck ghosted down a ridge at 3 pm, further confirmation that big bucks move at midday especially during a full moon. Shot him with my Remington Model 783 in .270 with a 150-grain Core-Lokt SP bullet. From there headed down to Sheridan, Wyoming, where I hunted in the shadows of the Bighorn Mountains. It snowed and was severely cold...temps -10, snow, and one day the legendary Wyoming winds gusted to -40 and -50. But [...]

BIG DEER TV Hunts California

As you read this I will have traveled up into Oregon and be in the midst of a 10-day quest for mule deer after a fine week of hunting in the Central Coast of Cali, near the town of Paso Robles, or “Pass of the Oaks.” The highlight of the trip was obviously shooting the 130-class 3x4 buck; B&C minimum for a Columbian blacktail is 135, so this is a great and above average deer, about as big as they for these parts. Twenty inches wide, even had one small eyeguard. Note the compact camera rig we used—Nikon DSLR, 80-200 mm lens here I believe, w/shotgun microphone. Cameras for filming the outdoors have come a long way. I remember not too [...]
