I received this one from an email source. The photos were taken in 2006. The Browning Buckmark feeder is pretty cool looking too!

   

        

Best Undiscovered Trophy Whitetail Destination?

If you are searching for a great hunting adventure in one of the best hunting locations in North America, look no further. You might be surprised to learn that I am not talking about a location in the Midwest. I recommend that you check out New Brunswick, Canada!

New Brunswick is very densely populated with what are arguably the largest trophy whitetail bucks in Canada. I know, I know, Saskatchewan gets all the attention due to the big time marketing efforts of their department of tourism, but in my opinion New Brunswick is the untapped Canadian whitetail mecca. There is less pressure in New Brunswick and less pressure often translates to better hunting and bigger bucks.

Do yourself a favor, check out New Brunswick and be sure to take a good look at New Brunswick’s favorite outfitter; Lindsay Sporting Camps. Our friends at Lindsay’s Sporting Camps will take excellent care of you!

        

Outdoor Life Magazine recently ranked Kirksville Missouri as the number one spot for whitetail deer in the country. The large amount of land that is open for public hunting allows Kirksville to use different regions for various hunting methods such as archery and muzzleloading. Michael Jones, the Wildlife Regional Supervisor at the Northeast Regional Office of the Missouri Department of Conservation attributes the number one ranking to deer genetics and the excellent quality of habitat in northern Missouri. "Some of the factors that affect the growth, size of deer and deer antlers are fertile soils and year round food supply, and when you add in that we've got good genetics, we've kind of got a good combination that makes for a real good deer heard here." I’m not quite sure how you can adequately define the absolutely best place for whitetail hunting, but if Outdoor Life says it, it must be so! Grab your gear and head to Missouri!!! Kill a giant whitetail buck and send your story to us. We’ll post it in our Deer Tales section.

        

Locked Whitetail Trio

These three whitetail bucks were obviously sparing during the most recent rut and eventually their antlers became locked. As the story goes, two of them were already dead when they were found, but ranchers managed to saw the horns off the 3rd buck and he survived. The locked trio include a 8 point, a 9 point, and an 11 point.

        

This photo was emailed to me a few months ago. I’ve been sitting on it, not quite knowing exactly what to do with it. I'm not 100% sure if it is a photoshop or the real thing. Either way, can you imagine the pain that guy was in?
 
…and I’m not talking about the blood soaked wound from the hunter.

I’m just saying, that looks painful!

        

I received these pictures via email several months ago. I haven't researched the authenticity or validity of the story but who cares, because either way, this in one hell of a buck.  The emailer told me that the buck is out of Oklahoma. The antlers are wrapped in wire from an encounter with an electric fence. I love the rich, dark color of the antlers, it makes the buck look like a giant Canadian bruiser.

        

Today I’d like to give a shout out to Aretha Franklin.

Aretha Franklin was recently crowned this years worst dressed celebrity by the animal rights wackos PETA. Her crime, wearing “yet another vulgar fur” at the Grammy Awards. This is significant because PETA’s “Worst Dressed” is a distinguished title I’ve been trying to achieve for a number of years with no success.

Here’s some of the classy comments that PETA freaks had for Franklin:
…“You look as though you were going to perform “I Am the Walrus” by the Beetles”
… “You might be a queen but you don’t know jack about compassion”
… “How ‘bout some R-E-S-P-E-C-T for animals?”

PETA, please take note: I wear a leather coat. I’ve been known to wear a coonskin cap. I’ve got a squirrel tail hanging from my truck antenna, the tail came from a dead squirrel that I killed myself. I killed 9 deer last year alone. To help turn the tide in my favor, I hereby vow to wear a bear skin coat to next years ATA and SHOT shows – that ought to get me noticed!

        

Court Upholds Conviction for Sex with Dead Deer
 
A Wisconsin state appeals court has upheld a man's conviction for having sex with a dead deer. The 3rd District Court of Appeals rejected Bryan Hathaway’s argument that the charge should be dismissed because the law against committing an act of sexual gratification with animals does not apply if the animals are dead.

Hathaway, 21, pleaded no contest a year ago and was sentenced to probation that required him to be evaluated as a sex offender. In January, Douglas County Circuit Court Judge Michael Lucci sentenced him to nine months for probation violations that included using alcohol and marijuana and having unapproved contact with a minor child.

Required to be evaluated as a sex offender? What the hell is there to evaluate? This dumb ass had sex with a dead deer, what exactly is it that Wisconsin officials want to evaluate? Get this wack job off the streets and chemically castrate him before he taints any more venison!

        

Recently while watching one of those outdoor TV channels, I heard my Blood-Brother Uncle Ted quote the famous Apache leader Cochise by saying that “if all the deer and buffalo were gone, I would hunt mice”. In other words, the primal desire to hunt is imbedded deep into the DNA of warriors like Cochise and Nuge. I suspect that if you’re reading this, you too will make the list of great warriors who hunt because it is part of your top of the food chain, predatory instinct. In today’s world of politically correct hunters who attempt to hide the ways of their hunting heritage, it’s nice to know that there are good guys like Ted out there who can boil down the reason for hunting in a straight forward, un-apologetic manner. Recall those words of wisdom the next time a suburb dwelling latté-liberal questions your straight black coffee, real world hunting heritage. Be proud, as a hunter, your actions are part of the natural world!

        

I've been emailed a photo of a set of sheds supposedly found somewhere in the southern part of Iowa. The picture shows a relatively clean 8pt with a reported gross score of 191+ and a reported net score of somewhere around 181+. The sheds have 30" beams 20" plus great mass on each side. All I can say is WOW!
