South Carolina Deer Hunting: First Statewide Buck Limits

admin2020-06-10T09:19:51-04:00March 9th, 2015|BigDeer, Deer Management, Hunting News|3 Comments

If you’re not from anywhere near South Carolina, it will probably be hard for you to believe that in most parts of the state, there has never been a limit on the number of whitetail bucks a hunter can shoot. I repeat, no limit, ever! That might be about to change. State bill S454 would establish a limit of four bucks and four does per hunter per year. The potential changes in deer management are just what Charles Ruth, Deer and Wild Turkey Program Coordinator for the S.C. DNR, has been in favor of for years. “This is looking at the future of deer management in South Carolina. We’re trying to get something more mainstream here like other states have from [...]

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 [...]

Happy Birthday Fred Bear

admin2020-06-10T09:19:51-04:00March 5th, 2015|BigDeer, Bowhunting|2 Comments

Fred Bear would have been 113 years young today. No man ever hunted with more true spirit and respect for the animals than Fred did…something that is sadly missing with some of the hunters I see and hear today. As a tribute to Fred, take a look at this classic grizzly hunt. My Lord, this is how hunting films and TV should be done. From the genuine and humble hunter, to the compelling storyline, to the intriguing narration, to the look and "puts you there" feel of the old 16mm footage. Watching Fred stalk, whistle and shoot that bear gave me chills. Pay close attention to the end of the show, when Fred and his guide walk up and admire the magnificent animal. [...]

Obama, ATF Propose AR-15 Bullet Ban—Gun Owners and Hunters Take Action!

admin2020-06-10T09:19:51-04:00March 5th, 2015|BigDeer, Deer Guns & Loads, Hunting News|1 Comment

From Washington Examiner: As promised, President Obama is using executive actions to impose gun control on the nation, targeting the top-selling rifle in the country, the AR-15 style semi-automatic, with a ban on one of the most-used AR bullets by sportsmen and target shooters. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is proposing to put the ban on 5.56 mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including…Cabela’s to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president. The AR-15 is among the firearms that the Obama Administration has unsuccessfully sought to outlaw. Since they can’t ban the rifle, they are going for the .223 ammo [...]
