This new web series on OutdoorLife.com uses satellite imagery, trail cam photos, and a history of the wind and weather to tell the complete story behind heart-racing trophy whitetail hunts.

Stalking mature whitetail bucks successfully requires patience and planning.

Managing deer in this environment requires a different approach: lots of smaller food plots and, as you’ll see in the video above, a little cooperation from Mother Nature.

Sometimes two hunters are better than one. Working as a team, my good friends Tracy and Dave were able to close the mousetrap on a truly mature buck. Evander showed up on their 1,200 acre farm as a four year old. But after missing a shotgun shot that first year, it wasn't until three years later that Evander slipped up again.
