How to Set Up Little Properties to Take Big Bucks

One of the things I've learned about hunting small properties is that when you arrow a buck on a small property, you don’t want him to travel off the land where you’ve shot him.

Norton’s Kansas Whitetail That Scored 156

Once the buck hit my scent trail, he stopped but wasn’t spooked. He turned away from it, walked back south, jumped the fence and walked out into the Brushy 40, coming toward me on the upwind side of my stand. When he was at about 15 yards, I grunted and stopped him. I came to full draw, released the arrow and heard that crack you often hear when a broadhead enters a buck.

My Most Memorable Doe Deer

A few years ago, my friend, Mike Adams, and I went to Colorado to hunt mule deer. We really lucked into this hunt. Mike’s friend had land leased, and he guided in Colorado. Mike’s friend called him and said, “I've had a cancellation. Would you and a friend like to come out here and hunt? Y’all will have the camp to yourselves.” So, of course Mike said, “Sure.” Then, the guide told Mike, “Okay, we’ll

One of Kevin Hutchings’ Best Michigan Bucks

We have a deer camp in north Michigan close to some public land where we've hunted for many years. On this particular hunt, I was hunting another pinch point where the woods narrowed-down. When hunters come into the woods, they push deer through that pinch point. I call this spot the trail of terror, because we see a lot of deer coming through this pinch point. This strip of woods narrows down to about 100

The Early Bird Gets the Worm and the Buck

As I’ve mentioned yesterday, most public-land hunters want easy hunts. They’re more concerned about one or two extra hours of sleep than getting to their stands before daylight. If I know the woods will start to lighten-up at 7:00 am, I want to be in my stand by 5:00 am. I know that I’ll need 30 to 45 minutes to get from my truck to my stand site. So, I want to arrive at the
