My Biggest Bow Buck with Taylor Drury

Finally, that big buck came over the hill. Dad whispered, “That’s him. That’s your buck. That’s the deer we came to get.” As the buck came into the field and started walking toward the decoy, I was the most nervous and excited I ever had been, when I was hunting.

My First Bow Buck with Taylor Drury

When I was very little, Dad had started me off shooting with a plastic bow-and-arrow set. When he finally thought I was strong enough to pull a very-small compound bow, he got me my first bow.

Bucky Hauser Says to Get Off the Couch and Go Hunting Buck Deer

The day I decided to take off was the first day of the second archery season. My wife, Kelly, came in and saw me on the couch. She said, “Hey, Bucky, you need to get up and go hunting.” I didn’t really want to go, but she just kept insisting. This 120-inch 8-point buck only went about 125 yards. My wife was right in getting me up and sending me out to hunt.

Maturing as a Deer Hunter

Mossy Oak ProStaffer Bucky Hauser lives in Claudville, Virginia. During the early years of his hunting career, he was a multi-state hunter and often hunted 4 days per week or more from October until deer season ended. He hunted on two farms in Virginia and also Canada, taking many fine bucks and enjoying great outdoor adventures. Bucky lived the hunter’s life we all dream of, but after he turned 40, his hunting focus changed drastically.

Finding the Stand Site That Produced 5 Bucks That All Scored 150 or More

The next year, in 2011, I set up two tree stands in that same tree and took my 15-year-old son, Jake, to hunt there. As fate would have it, the buck Joe White wouldn’t let me shoot the year before started coming toward Jake. My son took that buck. This was his third deer taken with a bow, and his second bow buck. He scored 158 inches P&Y.
