Buck Profile “Alvin” I have of pictures of this buck from 2013, now he is back in 2014 and looking pretty nice. We call him Alvin because he was the first buck we saw on camera on my Grandparents ground so he adopted my grandpas name. I poured out my Monster Raxx and tried tying […]
Buck Profile “Crown”, I think I know this buck last year I called him “UpSide” because I knew if he made it another year that he would really be something. He didn’t disappoint. He went from being a good 4.5 year old buck to a great 5.5 year old buck. He has tines all over. Now […]
This is the first of many “Buck Profiles” to come. I enjoy running trail cameras all year long and have done so for many years now. Here at Victory Outdoors we like to share with you the bucks we will be chasing come fall. I’m going to kick it off with a buck that is […]

Here it is late July, for me this will be my first trail camera card pull of the summer. For me this is the time of year that you can really get a good idea of what a buck is going to look like this fall. Yes there is still time for them to grow […]
I recently purchased a Covert Illuminator camera. I’ve been using infrared cameras exclusively for about five years and like many others, I was worried about the flash spooking deer. I bought this camera with predators in mind, but I plan to use it along with my IR cameras for deer as well. I’ve had it […]
My latest card pull was fun because I had a variety of game including bear, turkey, some cute fuzzy fawns and baby coons, as well as an old friend that returned. It’s good to see two different sets of twins and some loan fawns that made it through Wisconsin’s worst winter in decades. As […]
Pulled another group of cards this morning. It amazes me at how some deer grow faster than others and then sometimes they just explode. With this pull, these cameras are on new leases at Whitetail Xtreme Hunts just got this year. As the manager of Whitetail Xtreme Hunts, I need an inventory of bucks on each […]
One of my favorite things about summer is checking my trail cams. I went out yesterday and pulled 3 cards. I had a total of 4500 pics it seemed to take forever to go through them all. There are several things you stand to gain out of running your trail cams all summer long. 1. […]
Here we are summer has been officially been upon us for a couple of weeks. If you are like me you are wondering where the spring went and hoping fall will get here soon. I am writing this short article to encourage each of you readers to make the most of your summer time. How […]
As turkey season comes to a close, my mind is already shifting gears to chasing thick necked, big racked Iowa whitetails next fall. As I think about next deer season, I can’t help but reflect on the last. I am coming off of the best season I have had. Now, I don’t get to travel all […]
The Heartbreak Buck!!!! A shed hunting trip that turned into the recovery of a giant 8 point buck… March 22, 2014 turned out to be a day that I won’t soon forget. I planned on shed hunting a farm behind my house that I could cover while on the four wheeler. With the weather being […]
Shed Head I must admit before writing too much, I do not want anyone to think I have a lot of expertise or much clout when it comes to shed hunting. I will however tell you that an addiction is forming and I am nurturing a new love affair with searching for freshly dropped bone! To be […]
