As we discussed last week, this spring we’ll be featuring some of the best sheds found in 2012 by the Wired To Hunt Nation on the blog! Today we’ve got one of our first submissions, this one coming from Adam Rottler. He found this giant Kansas shed, measuring 80 3/8″ on January 29! Where specifically? [...]

Here it is folks! As you probably already know, myself and the rest of the Wired To Hunt team had a pretty tough 2011 season. But on November 30th, Dustin Hotchkin was finally able to close the deal on a dandy Southern Michigan 8 pointer. Today, we bring you his story and in my opinion, [...]

Today’s story comes from Derek Stahlman of Hallowed Ground Outdoors. HGO just won a Sportsman Channel award for best new show, and given the bucks they’ve put down this fall, I’d expect them to have a great season 2 as well! Read on for Derek’s tale of this big ole Missouri buck.- MK “Well  this [...]

When people ask me about how my hunting season went this year, I simple reply with a shake of the head and tell them  ”I‘ve had better seasons”. From wild horses and roaming cattle to dudes on 4-wheelers and bad luck, my season was for the most part a big fat bust. Now that’s not [...]

I’ve always figured that success while whitetail hunting occured by virtue of three things. Skill, determination and luck. And today’s story from Greg Haak highlights possibly the most important. That being luck! I learn as much as possible, and hunt crazy hard, but I’ll take lucky any day. And that’s just what Greg did with [...]

Well. He’s certainly not anything to get too excited about, but this little fella is the first buck I’ve seen so far this year that’s shed an antler. And THAT is exciting. The first phase of the 2012 season will be kicking off soon with shed hunting and I can not wait. My plan for [...]

Our story today comes from Whitetail Properties land specialist Gabe Adair, who provides us all a reminder that you can’t kill em from the couch. On a late December hunt, with miserable conditions, Gabe stuck it out and it paid off big time. Congrats Gabe! – MK “The entire late muzzy season had been extremely [...]

Here’s a really neat story from Wired To Hunt reader Dana Dutoi, as he recalls his hunt for this big old Indiana whitetail. Gotta love seeing members of the Wired To Hunt Nation having success in the pursuit of mature bucks. Big congrats Dana! – MK “On Thursday November 17, 2011, I was at work around [...]

Now that my 2011 season is through, my thoughts have immediately shifted to planning for 2012 and let me tell you what, I’m excited! In August of this past year I moved to my new home/farm and immediately went about preparing for the 2011 season. But with only a month or so to prepare, I [...]
