Fawn Befriends Puppy
Posted by DDH Staff
This one has been making the Internet circuit. The story goes that the fawn
followed the beagle home through the doggie door and the dog’s owners found the
pair curled up on the couch. Hopefully the story is true and the unfortunate
fawn was not picked out of the wild by well-meaning but uninformed
passers-by.

Heading Toward Autumn
Posted by DDH Staff
Web Pro Staffer Joshua Berckenhoff captured these photos of a fine 11-point and
a big, healthy doe last week on a ranch near his hunting area. It appears the
summer rains were enough to provide excellent nutrition for the area’s deer.

Excellent Video Clip
Posted by DDH Staff
The North Dakota Department of Game & Fish recently revealed a short video entitled "Hunting Big Game Over Bait." This is one of the most comprehensive videos I have seen on the subject. It is a valuable resource that all
hunters should view. Thanks to Pro Staffer Russel Wood, who brought this to our attention.

Would You Shoot Him?
Posted by DDH Staff
Here's another nice buck we captured on film recently. Question of the day...would you tag this buck if he walked past your stand on opening day of archery season?

Is it Your Duty to Dispatch Wounded Deer?
Posted by DDH Staff
Avid D&DH reader W. Pace wrote to me this morning and brought up some excellent points in response to the “Deer Browse” column from the October issue. Mr. Pace writes:
“I read Richard P. Smiths article "A View to a Kill" in the October 2008 issue. The question was raised, Who came out on top? Definetly not the doe. I was embarrassed when my daughter, an avid deer hunter, read the article. We couldn't believe that hunter Steve Polich was more concerned about messing up his first day bow hunting than putting the doe out of her misery. When Polich got home, his son asked if he had gotten anything and Polich answered, "I got a much better experience than shooting something." I guess our children will grow up with different opinions on our God given duty as stewards over nature and wildlife.”
What are your thoughts on this topic?

Alabama Launches Deer Recognition Program
Posted by DDH Staff
Hunters no longer have to wonder why Alabama doesn't have its own recognition program for big bucks killed in the state.
The Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division of Alabama's conservation department has developed a new records and recognition program for white-tailed deer taken in Alabama — the Records of Alabama's White-tailed Deer.
The demand for information on the largest bucks harvested in Alabama led to the development of the new program, according to a department press release.

Eye-Popping 10-Pointer!
Posted by DDH Staff
Check out this incredible whitetail. It was taken by Mike Herzog in New York in 2007. With a green score of 160+ Pope and Young, the huge 10-pointer ranks as the state’s top typical from last season. Congratulations to Mike on taking such a fine whitetail. We hope to profile his complete story on how he bagged the buck in an upcoming “Buck Shots” column in the magazine.

The Power of Mineral Sites
Posted by DDH Staff
Do mineral sites really attract bucks during spring and summer? You would be the judge. Faithful D&DH reader Dave Lewis captured this image last Thursday with his Stealth Cam trail camera. Both bucks appear to be in top shape. "These are Pennsylvania bucks where (growth) like this is not supposed to happen, but it goes to show that QDM can work anywhere!" Dave wrote.
Before setting up mineral sites on your property, be sure to check with your local game regulations. Some states prohibit mineral sites due to the presence of diseases such as chronic wasting disease.
