The Game Day Mule Deer Buck

I took my best mule deer buck this past season in Colorado. I climbed two miles into an area that I wanted to hunt. A lot people were hunting where I generally hunted for mule deer in Colorado, and I wanted to get away from all these people. To do that, I knew that I had to hike farther and climb higher. Over the years, I've learned that once hunters start hunting a section of

And just like the fine bottle of wine that accompanies a fresh venison feast, ScentLok's clothing line has improved with age.

Bucks are right in the middle of the antler growing process and does are heavy with the burden of carrying a fawn or two. This time of year can be taxing on a whitetails body as they need plenty of high protein forage and available minerals for

Seeing 13 Bucks in 90 Minutes

I've never taken a monster buck in Illinois, but I've taken quite a few bucks that would score 140 in Illinois.

Strategies For Hunting the "Second Rut"
