Deer

When a cold front hits the family farm, GrowingDeer.tv team member Alec McAlpine knew exactly where he needed to be! Watch this episode to see him tag a giant Indiana buck when he walks into the corn (time marker 5:09 to 7:40). After the hunt, Grant  shares tips on how you can use snow as a tool to pattern the bucks and does where you hunt.These tips will get you excited to get out and scout the next time you're hunting where there is snow on the ground.

The late season is by far our favorite time to kill a big buck. The rut is over, and with it, the randomness of the hunt. Late season bucks are a pretty "beat up" crowd. They have been fighting for 2 months or more and have the bruises and broken bones to prove it.

Grant's daughter Raleigh experiences the lesson that most deer hunters understand: patience is necessary to get your reward. Watch this video for the complete story of how after hunting many days, on the last afternoon of the Missouri Gun Season Raleigh tags the buck she's been waiting on!

Jump shooting bucks consists of walking at a moderate pace trying to roust out a buck and drop it as it gets up or loads its legs to take its first jump.

GrowingDeer.tv team members Aaron and Seth selected a treestand out of the wind during the opening weekend of gun season in Missouri (time marker 2:30).  Their selection was perfect as they hadn't been in the stand long when they heard a deer running though the leaves toward them.  Deer running during November in Missouri often means a buck or bucks are chasing a doe.  That's exactly what they saw!  Multiple bucks chasing a doe

After nearly 30 years of dreaming about it, I finally got to experience my first Texas deer hunt recently, and it did not disappoint. It was everything I'd imagined and then some. If you too are dreaming of a whitetail hunt in the Lone Star State, here's what you need to know.

Most hunters who have pursued whitetails for more than a season or two have learned what "staging areas" are.

There is nothing wrong with taking a doe. If it is food you’re after, the steaks and burger of a young buck won’t taste near as good as a fat doe.

In fact, taking a doe is something we need to do especially if you’re after trophy bucks. Everyone talks about genetics and food supply but taking a buck before he is 3-years old never allows that buck to grow to his full potential.

If you forget about your ego, and take a doe instead of a young buck, it allows that buck to grow another set of antlers.

I have been hunting for about 12 years now and truly enjoy every minute of it.
