Hi Mike: I have followed your website and blog for several years. I wanted to share this buck with you as he is by far the biggest and heaviest thing I have ever killed. He probably will not score well, but I don’t really care. I shot him Friday the 21st in southern Illinois with Golden Triangle Outfitters. He came into a food plot chasing a doe at 7:45 in the morning and I shot him at 55 yards. My old Remington 1187 did the trick one more time! The left side antler measures 9.75 inches at its widest point and if you didn’t notice it also has a 4.5 inch drop tine (first one for me, only second buck I have [...]

Hey Mike: Big fan of yours.  I love reading about your passion for deer hunting. I thought I would share with you a deer my oldest son, Brandon, 13, shot recently.  The majority of our hunting is done in the Texas Panhandle.  You always say that one of the best times to be out in the field hunting whitetails is November 8th.  Well, that held true in this case as well.

Today’s cool blog from Eric Barrett, who killed this giant in 2011: Mike: It was October, during archery season, and I had been hearing about a giant deer that a guy had been seeing as he hunted the adjoining farm. He had several trail cam pictures and even a video of the deer in velvet feeding in a green soybean field. I had heard that the deer had around a 30-inch spread, so I was intrigued. I couldn’t even imagine how many gallons of gas I burned and how many hours I spent looking around, just trying to lay eyes on the deer. After all that, I had nothing. No trail cam pictures, no sightings, nothing. Frustrated, I kind of blew it [...]
