Kansas boy scores on MOOSE

Finalists: Kansas boy scores on MOOSE

Let me tell you what, your heart is pounding, the breathing is loud, and the tree your standing next to is not big enough! At 5 yds. a bull moose is BIG! We called him in from 300 yds. PSE bow and Wasp Hammer SST broadhead did the trick. He ran 25 yds and died within 10 yds of the boat. So now I have over 600 lbs. of delicious meat and a 52" rack hanging in th living room at home.

Canadian Mule Deer

Finalists: Canadian Mule Deer

Hey Everyone,

 

I have spent the last couple of very cold days in western Alberta, Canada.  It was -16 Celsius today, but worth every cold minute!  I happened across this fine Mule Deer, while walking a cut line and he is now in the process of making some very fine sausages for me and my family!  I have not measured him up yet but just for comparison sake I am 6'6" and 190 lbs.

2010 Opening Day Bow Harvest

Finalists: 2010 Opening Day Bow Harvest

After preparing all summer to get everything right for opening day, it came and went in a flash. The 2010 Ohio deer season opened up September 25th and we had just had a small front come in, which dropped the temperature and brought in some cloud cover. During the summer months, it is time to try and pattern the deer. This is the time when it is most easy to try and make an educated guess about where the mature bucks are going to and from. It is easy when you are able to put trail cameras out or sit over an area and glass for an extended period of time. I was not this lucky.
