On Thanksgiving morning, I got into my stand before legal shooting light. As legal shooting light approached, I heard something to my right and saw a very large-bodied buck walking about 100 yards away. The deer looked massive, fairly tall-framed, and it looked as if he was a giant fork horn...

A couple questions ... what are some of the nicknames of bucks you've come up with over the years? And/or, what are some of the more common nicknames you've heard for big bucks over the years? I named the big NT buck we videotaped in 2004 "Hellacious" because he was just that!

Okay guys, bear with me on this. I sit here and do a lot of thinking about antlers. I mean A LOT. So yesterday I was watching TV with visions of big antlers in my head when I asked myself an interesting question: "What would happen if someone could mold a set of antlers into a particular...

How many of you are superstitious about hunting? Do you have a lucky pair of boots, or a lucky hat? Do you pull a certain arrow out of your quiver for good luck? What kind of good/bad omens do you think about while hunting? Let's hear them!!

He's got a buck riding home in the back of his truck .... I'm sure he'll fill you in on the details but it sounds like a hot doe wound up being the ticket!

Okay guys. Here it is June 19 and I'm in full-blown deer mood. All I can think about is hanging stands and cold frosty mornings. Heck, I went out and shot my bow three times today. I need some serious help!!! Will it ever get here??

Well it looks as if my trophy room will finally come together, I've got about half the barn boards I need for the walls and I'm getting the rest next week; my question is, do you guys recommend treating the boards with anything for termites and such? If so, what chemical do you recommend? I've...

Hey everyone, I've been having trouble with my "Jody Hadachek" user name, and I miss my old one ... so from here on out, I've decided to go back to my original "KANSAN" user ID. I need to find a way to access my PMA membership now that I've gone back to this ID - since I'm still currently paid...

Hey guys, The picture and story of this buck has been in the PMA section for some time now, but I figured the time was right to put it here and show what I killed on October 27th. To make a long story short, I arrowed the buck I named "Hollywood" on a quick after-work evening hunt with an...

So here's the game plan, guys. I was going to head out today, but winds are gusting over 40 mph. So I figure the rest of the week I'll be out after work each day. I'll shower/de-scent in the morning, and carry more Scent Away deodorant/spray with me to the field. I get off work at 3:40, and...

Well folks, I can honestly say Alicia & I are enjoying this deer season more than any other over the last several years. We made it a point starting this fall to not videotape anymore of our hunts. Last year, after I shot my 165 inch buck, my happiness immediately turned to a big frown on my...

Today was the opening day of Kansas' muzzleloader/archery season, and I blew it. The short version is I missed a 170 class 5x4 with my bow tonight, and barely caught belly hair. The deer ran off about 100 yards, and just stayed in the field. I tried everything I could think of to scare him...

Alright - I'm in the market for a bow sling. My first thought was to buy one of those "Bow Bats". Personally, I love the design of it - but it's not practical for me. The reviews say how convenient it is to just grab your 'Bat with the bow strapped in and take it hunting. But I can't bring...

Hey everyone, It's been a long road to get here, but Rut Junkie's debut DVD, "All Racked Up", is available for purchase at http://www.rutjunkie.com/downloads It includes some fantastic hunts, and one of the largest wild nontypical bucks ever caught on video. When I asked Joey to join with me...

I was talking to the wife of a landowner friend of mine the other day, and she told me how her son had shot a nice buck last deer season. After being shot on their land, the buck jumped a fence and went on to a neighboring property. Doing the right thing, they drove to the landowner's home and...

Hey guys, I'm sure I've posted this picture before, but with the season drawing closer, I wanted to show you one of the best deer I've ever captured on trail camera. We saw this guy from our stand twice in a period of about two weeks, but never was able to harvest him. I wish I could have...

Okay guys - let's say you have a chance to take a sheet-rocked, attached single car garage and convert it into a nice, cozy trophy room/den with sheds and mounts all over the place, along with putting in a bar. How would you go about doing it, what are some good ways to save money, and how much...

Hey everyone, sorry about this post NOT being whitetail-related but I need to vent about the prices of gasoline and oil. I remember several years ago when gas was $1.75 per gallon and I was complaining about it. Now we're looking at the possibility of $4/gallon by summer. How can the average...

Hey everyone, As some of you know, my wife (Alicia) and myself teamed up with good friends and business partners Joey & Casi Rott to form Rut Junkie Media, our own video company. We have worked really hard to put together a video like you've asked for over the years, and it's almost here - the...

Hey everyone, Once again the Classic was awesome. The IW booth, as usual, was the best booth at the place. I just wish I hadn't been sick this past weekend, it would have made for a much more entertaining trip. I had made some plans to get together with some folks after the show, but after...
