admin2020-06-10T09:19:36-04:00July 1st, 2015|Big Deer TV, BigDeer|21 Comments

All-new episodes of my TV show start airing tonight, Wednesday July 1, at 10 PM/9C on Sportsman Channel. Over the next 6 months watch as we travel to some amazing destinations to hunt some amazing deer: the high desert of Oregon…snow-laced Sheridan, Wyoming…a wheat farm in the shadows of towering Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens…the plains of western Kansas…the deep bush of Saskatchewan of course…and more. First stop tonight, the beautiful wine country of California’s Central Coast. A lot of people don’t realize that there is still much beautiful and remote country left to hunt in Cali, but you have to find the right place and go with the right people. I sure did. Doug Roth, one of the best hunters in [...]

More Trail Camera Bucks 2015

admin2020-06-10T09:19:36-04:00June 23rd, 2015|Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Deer Management|4 Comments

First photo I got from a fellow on Twitter, a real nice 8-point shaping up somewhere in southern Missouri. Last 2 are living and growing on public land in the East; both photos (pics from computer screen) from early May. “One has stuck around and is looking good, and the other is hard to get pictures of,” says Stewart. Send me your buck images anytime (mikehanback@yahoo.com), the more we look at the better as we get hopped up for the 2015 season.

Trail Cam Bucks, 2015

admin2020-06-10T09:19:36-04:00June 22nd, 2015|Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Deer Management|3 Comments

First cam picture of the year from our friend Danny. Send me your pictures (mikehanback@yahoo.com) as you get them so that we can watch the bucks grow along with you! I’ll keep the locations of the deer top secret if you wish: Had the trail cams up for about a week. Got this guy to watch this year. Didn't get any good front pics of him. But, for early June he's showing potential. Imagine if those brows keep growing. Absolutely love this time of year. Had over 300 pics in 6 days. 13 different bucks. My family's property has always been the summer range for bucks. Wish they'd stick around all season! When my daughter saw the first pic of this guy [...]

Kids Hunting: What is the Right Age?

admin2020-06-10T09:19:36-04:00June 17th, 2015|Big Deer TV, Deer Hunting, Hunting News|9 Comments

I was astonished to read one time that a 4-year-old Mississippi boy shot his first deer. The local paper did a big story on it, saying the kid didn’t want a doe (he didn’t want a doe, or his Daddy didn’t want him to shoot a doe?). The boy waited for a 6-point buck and smoked him. Stories like this are cute and make us feel warm and fuzzy that our kids are getting into hunting and helping to perpetuate what we do. But how young is too young? Can a 4-year-old handle and aim a rifle safely, even with Dad holding it and pointing out the animal, which is hard if not impossible for a kid that age and size to [...]

Iowa Big Bucks Featured on BIG DEER TV

Last weekend I had the pleasure of traveling across eastern Iowa with our TV crew, and meeting and filming local 3 hunters who shot giant bucks that, combined, have more than 725 inches of non-typical antler. First stop Muscatine County, where Paul Hein has taught welding at the high school for 34 years. Paul, who loves his job and the kids, also loves to bowhunt in the afternoons when school lets out. One November day in 2011, he hurried to his tree stand and shot a freakish buck with double main beams that scored 219 (above). Next it was on to Jackson County, where we met the Simmons boys. In this job I enjoy nothing more than to meet families with [...]
