Tim Herald | Colorado I was actually on a mule deer hunt in CO with Western Legends with a client. He was to shoot first, so when we found a big mature whitetail half way through the hunt, I opted to use my tag for that. We watched the buck from about 1,200 yards leave a weed field with a couple of does, and they went and bedded in the sandhills. We decided to make a stalk, … [Read more...] about Unexpected 7
My First Bow Buck
My First Bow Buck by Alexa Loa My dad, Thomas Loa, and I were hunting our lease--at the time--in Throckmorton, TX. It was already pretty close to the end of the rut, but we just happened to be sitting in the right spot that night. My dad has always been really good about stand location. He had set us up in what we call our "redneck blinds" that night. Let me elaborate on our … [Read more...] about My First Bow Buck
Kansas Trophy Hunt
Kansas Trophy Hunt by Justin Lee When whitetails are mentioned, the first place that comes to mind is Kansas. Being from Georgia, you just don’t get the opportunity to see the quality or even the amount of game you do in KS. It’s a completely different world. So when my good friend, Rusty Willis, with Stateline Trophy Hunters called and asked me to come out, I jumped at the … [Read more...] about Kansas Trophy Hunt
Patience Pays Off, for Coues Bucks
Patience Pays Off, for Coues Bucks by Gerad Alvin It’s January, and for me that means one thing, time to chase some Coues bucks! My passion for archery hunting Coues deer started ten years ago when I had a 130-plus-inch giant run by me at a mere eighteen yards! All I could do was stare in awe as the biggest deer I’d ever seen chased his doe by me. I was hooked to say the … [Read more...] about Patience Pays Off, for Coues Bucks
Washington State Land Whitetail
Washington State Land Whitetail By Kyle Wolf More and more of the private land I have been hunting over the years has been getting smaller and smaller due to farmers and landowners saying no more hunting. I'm sure most of you can relate, and perhaps have experienced this in some form. So, I decided to look elsewhere for new hunting grounds. My search led me to a piece of … [Read more...] about Washington State Land Whitetail
The Epitome of a True Sportsman
The Epitome of a True Sportsman | Jake Lindsey The Epitome of a True Sportsman by Jake Lindsey Southern Arizona is where I call home. I've always been a hunter. That may sound cliché, but I don't recall the moment I caught "the bug"—it was just always there.

Hawthorne It was the evening of December 02, 2011, there was 13 days left in the season, neither my wife nor I had killed a buck, and I was just informed a fellow archer had killed the 200-inch whitetail that we were hunting.

The DeClay Buck
The DeClay Buck by Harold DeClay Hunting was something I always wanted to do as a child. I remember my dad and brother Hansen would be up in the early morning hours when it was still dark out; camouflaged with rifles by the front door. I would ask if i could join (maybe 8 years old at the time). They would always tell me "next time." Well, "next time" finally kicked off a … [Read more...] about The DeClay Buck
