Missouri Gun Season Success for Jordan Mathes of Reality Driven Pursuits

8, Dec 2011

Here’s a terrific story from my friend Chad Searcey and Jordan Mathes of Reality Driven Pursuits, a great hunting web show. I had the opportunity to head out to Nebraska and hunt with Chad last year, and had a blast (You can see video from that hunt here). This year the RDP team has had [...]

Last Day IL Buck for Skyler Wirsig on the Campbell Outdoor Challenge

7, Dec 2011

I met Skyler Wirsig for the first time this summer at the Heartland Bowhunter Film School and after having a good long chat, I immediately walked away thinking that he was a real good guy. So when I saw the bucks that Skyler’s racked up so far this year, I was particularly happy for him. [...]

Could Six Shooter Be Back?

6, Dec 2011

While not the biggest buck I’ve seen down here in Michigan, the deer I call “Six Shooter” has certainly been the animal haunting my dreams most frequently. With four close encounters so far this season, 6+ hours spent watching him, and many trail camera pictures taken I’ve developed quite a history with this buck. But [...]

Giant First Bow Buck for Jack Janning of Iowa

5, Dec 2011

Here’s a first bow kill that will make most seasoned hunters pretty darn jealous. In fact, I know plenty of hunters that will go a lifetime without ever seeing a buck like this one. So I’d say that Jack Janning is off to a pretty good start with the ole stick and string. Big congrats [...]

Nothing But Disappointment At The End of the Blood Trail

2, Dec 2011

I’m sitting here tonight, tapping slowly away at the keyboard, stuggling to find the right words for how I feel. I hate to start using words like frustrated, disappointed, or depressed again. I thought I was over that earlier in November. But here I am again, feeling all of those dreaded emotions. But lets rewind… [...]

Big Buck Down for Wired To Hunt Pro-Staffer Dustin Hotchkin

1, Dec 2011

We finally got it done! My buddy, and one of my Wired To Hunt Pro-Staffers, Dustin Hotchkin was finally able to put down a nice buck with his muzzle loader here in Southern Michigan. I know he was relieved and excited and I think the same can be said for me! We’ll have video of [...]

258″ Mega-Giant Whitetail for Travis Cockburn

30, Nov 2011

I’m sorry, but I just love referring to a buck as a “Mega-giant”. Only the most collosal bucks can qualify for this label and holy smokes, does this Illinois buck ever fit the bill! Shot recently in Southern Illinois, this buck presented an 18 yard shot for Travis Cockburn and he put an arrow right behind the [...]

157″ Eastern Kansas Whopper for John Kraft

29, Nov 2011

John Kraft is another hardcore young hunter I met down at the QDMA Deer Steward Course this year, and when I met him he was actually working towards a degree in the wildlife management field. After chatting with him a bit, I immediately could tell he had a great passion for the outdoors and some [...]
