Pre-Rut Bucks… it’s that time of year

If you’re like me, your still out in the deer woods. All the pre-season scouting, stand placements, food plots planted, shooting lanes cut and dreams of tagging that 170” buck you had on trail-cams have faded. Not gone away but faded. Well…lucky for all of us it’s time for the Pre-Rut Bucks to kick in! […]

“Buck Fever” GET CALM & STAYING CALM

So you’ve practiced with all of your gear on in numerous different shooting positions, and you know your bow is shooting well. Now how do you defeat your own body’s production of adrenaline? We’ve all felt it, that fast-pulsed rush and shortness of breath we call “buck fever.” If you’re like most of us, you […]

Trail Cams: Better Late than Never

After last year’s events from hunting season I have been waiting to get my trail cams out. Seeing all the up and coming deer, watching them grow, and hoping the big ones make it through the winter has me biting my nails every time you look at the pictures. When the antlers drop and shed hunting begins, […]

Low Pressured Whitetails Part II

If you remember from part one of Low Pressured Whitetails, I discussed several options that hunters have to pursue whitetails that are not heavily pressured.  I highlighted that chances of success dramatically increase when hunting pressure is minimalized.  There are many options available for us to do this.  Last time I focused on hunting public […]

Low Pressured Whitetails

Reminiscing over my whitetail hunting career which is probably quite a bit shorter than some of our readers (18 years), I realize now that I have been pretty blessed.  Not just in the fact that I have been fortunate enough to take many quality bucks; but rather, that I have always had property to hunt that […]

Dan’s Iowa Shotgun Season

The first full week of December in Iowa, I hang the bow up for a few days and get together with friends and family for the first shotgun season. The season is only five days long, so you try to make the most of every minute of legal shooting time. This is a time when […]

Lightning Strikes Twice S3.W21

Zac Geith shoots a monster whitetail in Iowa, from the same stand that he filmed his brother, Collin Mann, killing a great buck last weekend. Lightning Strikes Twice as Collin returns the favor and films Zac arrowing a true Iowa Giant, green score of 187 3/8. Unbelievably not Zac’s best whitetail with a bow. VICTORY OUTDOORS SEASON […]

Buck Profile “Tom”

Buck Profile “Tom”: We call him TOM…. because in 2013 his left G2 looked a lot like a turkey foot. These pictures show what a year can do. Sometimes you have to pass on a good buck to let him become a great buck! Tom sure is unique and mature, I think he is 5.5 or […]

Buck Profile “34”

Buck Profile “34”: I believe this buck to be 6.5 years old. We first got pictures of him in 2012 when he was then named 34. We are just going to stick with name that for 2014, as he now has a trash rack. A very unique buck, he is mature and will make the hitlist!  Pictures […]
