Davenport Scores in Wyoming
Posted by DDH Staff
We are all things whitetail, but we couldn’t help but share this happy-hunter photo with all of you! D&DH Contributing Editor Les Davenport shot this dandy mule deer buck last week while hunting with his wife, Connie, in Wyoming. Les shot the buck after a thrilling spot-and-stalk adventure. Congratulations, Les! Dan Schmidt, D&DH Editor PS: In case you are wondering (I was!), the camo pattern Les was wearing is a new pattern developed by his friend, Carlos Gonzales. It's called Grouse Wind Camo and is tailored from the color of a sage grouse. For more information, check out this link www.Grousewingcamo.com

Old Fur Boards Help Preserve Happy Memories
Posted by DDH Staff
D&DH Reader Ralph Hollin, of Kentucky, shared his innovative approach to putting his old trapping tools back into commission for deer hunting. Writes Hollin: "Here is an idea I thought your readers might like. For several years, I have made plaques for my deer antlers from old barn wood. Several years ago, I discovered old fur stretchers in the barn. I constructed these fur drying boards during the early 1950s. My dad had saved my boards for me, but I realized they were shaped wrong for today’s fur market. I decided to blend two of my loves together, trapping and deer hunting. Seeing the antlers mounted on my old fur boards brings back many happy memories of my younger days. I am 65 years old and I still trap every day of our season." Ralph Hollin Kentucky

Is This The New Record Typical?
Posted by DDH Staff
Is This The New Record Typical? Regular Deer & Deer Hunting contributor Scott Bestul tracked down the story to one of the most incredible bucks we’ve seen in quite some time. The buck appears to be a mainframe 7x7 with some sticker points. The buck is living in the famed farmland of Buffalo County, Wis. According to Ted Marum, a respected whitetail outfitter, guide and big-buck hunter from that area, the buck had a 200-plus-inch rack a year before this video was shot. “He is jaw-dropping to say the least!” Marum reports. “One of my guides filmed this buck two years ago in the same spot and the footage was awesome, full daylight and only a 150 yards away. He was a 200-inch 6x5 at the time with a small fork on the top of his right G-2 and a small kicker off the side of the G-3 on the same side. His G-2s and G-3s were 15- to 16 inches long.” For an exclusive look at video of this buck, check out this link. Many thanks to Scott, Ted and Scott Kirkpatrick for giving us the insights into this incredible whitetail!

Duluth Fine-Tunes Urban Bow-Hunt
Posted by DDH Staff
Cities implementing deer management bow-hunts are nothing new; but, new rules revealed for Duluth's program this year show managers are listening to bow-hunter input. Duluth has finely tuned its program to the point that it has identified "hot spots" -- areas with disproportionately high numbers of deer per acreage -- within the hunting parcels it manages. The city is also allowing ground blinds in specific locations where trees are less abundant. According to the story appearing in today's Duluth News Tribune, "'Those changes are being made at the request of the public,' said
Kathy Bergen, director of Duluth’s Parks and Recreation Department. 'There are still lots of deer out there, and those deer are invading
people’s yards. They’re asking for the program to step up. The group
[ABA] is trying to respond to those requests.' Last fall, 315
hunters registered and qualified for the Duluth hunt. Of those, 250
were successful, taking a total of 567 deer. Of those, 84 percent (476)
were antlerless and 16 percent (91) were bucks. In 2006, 195 successful hunters took 564 deer, 86 percent of them antlerless. Of the 283 hunters registered for this fall’s hunt, about 30 are new to the city hunt, Lockett said."

If Trees Could Talk
Posted by DDH Staff
I attached a picture of a really old tree stand just off the trail I walk on to get out to where I hunt. I have a few of these on the property that I hunt, there's just something about these old stands that catches my eye. Seeing them always makes me imagine what it was like back in the day for the hunter that used that stand. It's not like they're just a few years old, they're 20, 30 years old, or older. I can't put my thumb on exactly why I like those old stands, I just do. But I also know how dangerous they must have been ... and still are! Chris Kleist, D&DH Web Pro Staff, Wisconsin

Are you ready?
Posted by DDH Staff
I just realized archery season opens tomorrow in North Dakota, and I see Manitoba started Monday! I wonder how many velvet-racked monsters have already hit the ground? We still have a little more than two weeks to go here in Wisconsin. How long do you have to wait?  D&DH Managing Editor Jacob Edson
