Try Tribal For Whitetail Action

I'm sure some of you have heard of hunting Indian reservations and maybe a few of you have tried it for turkeys or possibly prairie dogs. Have you thought about hunting them for big game? I just returned from a big game hunt in South Dakota where we hunted whitetails on tribal lands. The hunting was great and South Dakota, like several Great Plains states, has several reservations within its borders to choose from for deer action.

These photos are flying across the Internet this week and if they haven’t landed on your screen yet your friends are holding out. This monster whitetail buck was bowkilled last week in central Minnesota, more specifically on the Camp Ripley military facility (www.minnesotanationalguard.org). Information is sketchy, but the buck supposedly has 32 points (all may not be scoreable) and weighed 192 pounds.

South Dakota Rides Again

Have you ever taken a road trip down Interstate 90 across South Dakota? If you have I’m sure one of your first thoughts is that South Dakota has a whole lot of nothing. There are oceans of grass for as far as you can see with little change in the topography except for the hiccup of the occasional river or creek bottom. Heck, it’s where Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote her experiences to create the “Little House on the Prairie” series of books. It’s also the reason South Dakota is the undisputed title holder of “Pheasant Capitol of the World.” As a side note, it’s going to be another barn burner of a year in pheasant country. Don’t miss it.

Is Your Buck Missing?

Hunters are keeping tabs on bucks more intently than ever before with the current craze in trail cameras. They see bucks via images that they've never laid eyes on keeping hopes high to eventually tag a monster right in their backyard. Unfortunately, some of those bucks may come up missing. Vehicle collisions, natural accidents, predation and disease are the main culprits for bucks to go missing. One major reason for a buck to pull the disappearing act is about to raise its ugly head.

He's Going Down

Hunters are keeping tabs on their whitetails more than conservative talk show hosts are keeping tabs on the new administration. Your summer intelligence gathering can oftentimes be used for a slam-dunk hunt in the early-season. If not, file the information away and look for the buck in the neighborhood once the appropriate season opens for you.

Roadkill At 200 mph

This entry doesn’t have a lot to do with big bucks, but it does have a lot to do with a common occurrence in deer country: animal collisions. What’s interesting about this collision is that it took place at nearly 200 mph with a NASCAR race car. The accompany photos attest to the speed of the car and lack thereof for one unlucky coyote.
