Are You Willing to Do What It Takes?

Are you looking to bag that once in lifetime giant racked deer. If you are longing  to  bring home the type of buck that most people only dream about I can help, but you may have to adjust your thinking, your tactics, and embrace the patience and commitment it takes to bring home a colossal trophy deer. Unless you get really lucky the successful hunting of a giant whitetail or mule deer is a commitment that may take a full year of planning, scouting and hunting, or two, or more. There have been individual bucks that I scouted, pursued, hunted and dreamed of for several years before I finally had the opportunity to make the kill. The big “war hosses” have a particular affinity for never being in a position where a man can shoot them. There is a reason the giants are that way and they seem to almost have a sixth sense when it comes to eluding hunters.

There is a unique manner and behavior pattern with giant old bucks and to be successful in hunting them you must modify your strategy accordingly. You almost have to approach the giant mature bucks as if they were another species all together to successfully hunt them. Along with being older and larger they are wiser, more cautious, and much more deliberate in their actions. The fact that a trophy buck survives to 4, 5, or 6 years old is a testament that they have mastered a lifestyle that allows them to avoid hunters and other predators. A giant buck will not typically run at the slightest pressure ,they dig in and hide until it is safe to get away. I have seen bucks hold tight in cover using their amazing stealth and natural camouflage, then sneak, crawl, or even swim away to avoid even the most experienced hunters.

If you are going to be successful you must use different tactics for these big boys. It is almost like the police detective catching the master criminal, it can take months to years of hard work and a bit of circumstantial luck to make an arrest. But if you have the right knowledge and the commitment that comes from a burning desire to display that once-in-a lifetime-if-you-are-lucky class buck on your wall then read on…

At some point in my hunting “career” I tired of hunting average size bucks and became interested in shooting only trophy bucks. There was quite a learning curve in moving my hunt to good bucks to monster bucks, but I got all the deer hunting tips I could from some of the best deer hunters in the nation. I found that the tactics to hunt the average deer don’t always translate to the much more elusive giant antlered mature bucks.  After much trial and error I found the true secrets to finding the great deer, and my success has multiplied year after year.

Are there big bucks where you hunt? Most extremely large bucks are never seen. Just because there have not been reports of large bucks being seen in an area does not necessarily mean they are not there. That being said there are certain areas which seem to be hotbeds for the giant racked deer. To have a chance at bagging the elusive giant racked deer you must hunt where the big deer are.  It is a hard fact that not all areas hold even one really big buck, let alone many. It is true however that certain factors lead to a greater concentration of giant bucks within an area.

The best way to find out if there are any big bucks in an area that you plan to hunt is to ask around. If you are looking for an area to hunt the best  people to ask about the local deer population are other hunters, local farmers and ranchers, county agents, game wardens, feed store owners and even the people at the closest coffee shop or cafe. You are trying to find out if there are any big deer in the area and where they are. remember you are looking for big bucks, not a lot of deer. Some places are teeming with small bucks, this is not our goal. We are looking for that monster. If you are already on a lease or are committed in some way to one particular area find out the areas or stands where the biggest bucks have been harvested there the last few years, and if anyone has seen any big bucks in any one particular  location. This is a good starting point. One word of caution though, deer stories can be as unreliable as fishing tales so try to get as much confirmation as you can.

I wanted to share this report on Michigan Department of Natural Resources Officials concerning the outlook for the upcoming season… Enjoy!

The 2011 firearms deer season, which opens Monday, should be more productive for Michigan deer hunters than the last two deer seasons, state officials say, but it is still not going to be anywhere near as good as deer seasons when record kills were made several years ago.

Brent Rudolph, the deer biologist for the state Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, said last winter was not nearly as harsh as the two previous winters, when snow fell early and stayed on the ground until late spring in much of Michigan. Cold temperatures for days on end didn’t help the deer herd much either during those two winters.

The forecast for this season looks a little more promising in part because most Michigan farmers have nearly finished harvesting their cornfields this fall, Rudolph said, denying cover to deer who had plenty of cornfields to hide in last November.

There also are large numbers of acorns on the ground this fall, generating plenty of feeding opportunities for deer besides farm fields, Rudolph said.

Still, bucks likely won’t be as large and healthy in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula as they have been in years past because of the impact of two bad winters back-to-back.

Hunters will see more bucks and does this November than the last two seasons, especially in the Upper Peninsula and the northern Lower, Rudolph said, but hunters  shouldn’t have unrealistic expectations about seeing huge bucks.

“It is going to take another year for bucks to look as good as they have in the past,” he said.

Southern Michigan remains the place to be for hunters who want to score big bucks or more than one deer this fall, Rudolph said.

Hunters can get multiple antlerless permits in most of southern Michigan again this year, he said, where the deer herd remains above the numbers the DNRE would like to see.

Some local deer hunters were skeptical about the DNRE’s forecast, while others are saying they have seen lots of deer, especially in southern Michigan.

John Bell, the instructor coordinator of the Genesee County hunter safety instruction program, said he thinks the deer kill this fall will be generally down and the DNRE will have “all kinds of excuses” for that situation.

“They will say it was too warm or too cold or too much corn or something,” he said. “I think they (the DNRE) have allowed too much of an overkill, especially of does in northern Michigan.”

Bell said he and his hunting buddies hunt near Gladwin and they have heard so few shots on opening day that “you could count them on one hand and still have some fingers left over.”

Bernie Bauman, a farmer in Saginaw County’s Maplegrove Township, said he didn’t see as many deer around his farm this year as last year. He said he also has been seeing more deer in the Houghton Lake area than five years ago, but nothing like years ago.

On the other hand, he said, he has been seeing plenty of deer just 15 miles south of Houghton Lake, in the Meredith area.

Dan Compeau, chief operating officer of Williams Gun Sight in Davison Township, said his store has seen a surge in sales of shotguns,  slugs and shotgun scopes in recent years, while rifle and rifle ammunition sales have been flat. He said those trends are a reflection of more hunter interest in southern Michigan where hunters are required to use shotguns or muzzleloaders.

Compeau said he doesn’t bother to hunt northern Michigan himself any longer. He said he was happy to take a nice 6-point with a crossbow in Mecosta County in mid-Michigan three weeks ago.

Bill Teer, who lives in Grand Blanc Township, said he is seeing as many deer near his farm this fall as he has ever seen. He agreed with Rudolph’s statement that there are plenty of acorns this fall, a good sign for the upcoming winter.

“I have never seen a mast crop this good,”  Teer said.

Don Baxter, of Fenton Township, said he has already killed two good bucks with his bow while hunting in Mundy Township near home. He also saw two good bucks while bear hunting in the Upper Peninsula in October. He is planning to hunt near Manistee in northwest Michigan during the firearms season.

“In general, (the deer population) looks about a good as it usually is,” he said.

Michigan generally sees at least 750,000 deer hunters take to the woods each November, which is three times as many American combat infantrymen who were on the front lines during the invasion of Germany during World War II.

There are two reasons  we plant foods for deer plots: complementing the deficit nutritional natural and attracting and holding of venison on our properties during the hunting season.  Annual planting food plots can be a large part of both objectives.

  Fodder planted to deer are of two general types: perennial and annual plants.  Perennials are designed to last over a year calendar of fodder.  Annual are designed to last for a calendar year.  Given enough land, access to equipment and time, many administrators use annual and perennial plants in their alimentos-parcela systems.Others may choose to plant only anuales.Echemos look at why are both excellent ways to improve the quality of its Habitat.

Nutrition and availability  .When the size property, equipment access and time permit, many administrators of planting perennial forages as the backbone of their alimentos-parcela systems.  Generally, perennial forages give a great boost available protein deer on what is commonly available to them from natural sources.   

  Take into account, however, while protein is undoubtedly the largest nutritional player during the spring and summer, the energy is King during the autumn and winter.  Autumn annual such as subarctic Institute fodder oats, mixed of brassica Tall Tine tubers and Winter Greens are fodder that provide deer with high levels of carbohydrates right when deer need most – during autumn and winter of rapid growth.(And not let the allegations of alarmist on toxicity of brassica fool you. Como Dr. Wayne Hanna, geneticist plants and forage Research Institute director subarctic said on the subject, “animals can get diarrhea if it is restricted to eating only high water plants as brassica or ryegrass.”)  Also, if cattle confined to eat Brassica where applied high in nitrogen, there is a possibility of nitrate toxicity.(“Since the deer are browsers, however, should not be a problem.”)

Also consider that fall annually more than just help sustain deer in autumn and the invierno.También can help bucks devote substantial nutritional resources to growth next previous flagpole primavera.Crecimiento flagpole is a “secondary sex characteristic” in dollars, which means that before the ball will dedicate a substantial nutrition growth flagpole at the beginning of spring, he will first use those resources to recover their losses of health (weight) of winter.Annual planted in fall can help minimize losses of health winter ball and allow you to devote substantial nutritional resources of antler growth as soon as possible in the spring.

Attraction  . As fall approaches, deer in most areas of the country is trying to pack in energy reserves (store fat) for annual autumn and the invierno.Plantas planted in the fall can complement and also can last much longer, than natural energía.Y storage since they are newly arising in autumn food, are generally much more tender, sweet and attractive for any kind of fodder has to offer, that you can draw deer and keep them in the property.

If you perennials or not, remember that planted annual pastures in the fall can benefit your program management in a lot of formas.pueden help deer store energy for the cold weather next, providing a source list ingestible energy during the fall and winter and help keep deer best fit for the growing season by the flagpole next spring.

It was a busy for me in the forest as I was week this week working on projects out of the last three nights. This past Wednesday went out one of my properties to check a trailcam and clean up some shots of Rails. It was relatively successful in both fronts, although not necessarily comfortable. I was able to get my disabled lanes fairly well, but it took a little more what was planning. I saw repeating that ended up being somewhat flimsy that I want and struggled mightily to reduce 4-inch round legs as I was being attacked from the air on mosquito bomber plane. I’m not sure if this is something with mosquitoes around here, or if I am simply develop a strange reaction, but recently I’ve been absolutely massive lumps of mosquito bites. Furthermore, I feel that I have gotten more bites on my lips I ever have in the past, if you saw my video published on Monday, has been an example of this aspect in me. Not good! haha.

After you delete my Rails, I could check my trailcam and although didn’t me get any more pictures of shooters couple in the area, was happy to see a couple of dollars up and coming. I have you want to see these guys just dragging on forests over the next couple months, and you are going to cross my fingers that the neighbors will allow them to go, to leave them to grow. Another couple years, these bucks should be quite nice, and I’d love to see them grow to maturity.By what this year remember, never get seen the big sleep if not lil guys give a chance to get allí.Por bucks therefore remind you and your friends… Let’s ranging them, let them grow.

Do I need to say anything? In the last couple months, I’ve really been enjoying of the occasional b&w shot that I received in my email tree, but what I like most is the fact that it will be hunting thesegiant bucks in little more than a month! November 21 is approaching and the monster bucks inventory is constantly growing. These two deer are frequenting the areas which I will be hunting,  and I can not crossmy fingers enough hoping that we’ll see one of them come during the week of Thanksgiving! It is hoped that with a little luck, we’ll get our eyes on these bucks again and perhaps even in our hands. Keep in touch within one month as it is hoped that we received some photos of oak tree and we prepare to prosecute these monsters of Illinois.
