Yes I have a pile of 1980's racks in my basement that I show the kids every now and then. They are reaping the benefits of 40 years of deer learning and education, truly living in the golden age of whitetails. Back in the day my wife shot a 115" 8 pointer. It had 11" G2s, fairly long G3s, a...

Yep. Northern Missouri. Haha.

My 14 year old son and my 24 year old daughter had a hunt that may never be topped. They doubled up filming and shooting a couple of good 8's. I taught them how to shoot, but otherwise I can't claim any credit for this video. They did it all! Best part of this to me is the "family" part of...

I was thinking NE Texas was a lot More like bug oak timbers and river bottoms.

Looks like a deer you might see at the classic in Des Moines. Her reaction at the beginning of the video is priceless... she knows what she has! This has a pretty good story with it. Congrats to the young lady!!! I just love it when a young girl gets it done on a big buck.(I raised 4 daughters...

That is awesome! I raised four daughters that deer hunt.

I gave up on trying to buy Lithium’s that are stupid expensive now.

Very well could be looking for a hound.

In Missouri they have to be 11 and hunter certified to hunt alone. So we never broke that rule. Phones do add a piece of mind to the situation. You can text when they get set up and do check ins frequently, even if you are 100 yards over the hill. My kids all started tagging deer at 6 to 10...

They have both done well in the firearms department and big bucks. They have done well in the archery doe department. They have had zero luck over 4 years getting a decent buck in range. Zero shots, but I am betting when they get a shot a tag will be filled.:)

Not just kids.... I have seen a lot of guys shoot a giant and never have much passion to hunt after that. They know they will never get a bigger one. There are also plenty of stories of guys killing a true giant the first day they went hunting. As far as who sticks with it, and who doesn't, is...

Awesome...lifetime memories being made!

Well today they are ready to hit the woods after a real buck! Hoping they can get lined out on a decent buck this year. They have both taken several does with their bows, but so far no legal bucks have cooperated. Good luck to everyone out there on tagging a good one this year.

Thanks! It is more about family time than anything. Definitely have made many lifetime memories through archery and 3D. Boys are chomping at the bit for deer season to start!

I have to admit I am a very proud dad. Coached football for 18 years, and did my best to coach LIFE as much as football. Now I am just "coaching" my boys in archery and still teaching math. In the video below at about the 3:28 mark I can tell Tackett is about to get choked up describing what...

Where abouts was this taken?

I had similar experience many years ago. A doe had twin button bucks. They hung out about 12' below me for 45 minutes. One of then was short in height and length but was really thick left to right. The other was really tall and long and thin. Shorty was a very dark brown with a lot of black...

Down here in MO everybody is baling their CRP. Why? Last year a hay patch of mine made 61 bales. This year 18. Talk is that the hay crop was a widespread failure which is why they released it, and farmers can sell it. Why do some sell it? You may not need the hay but some in other places may...

Here is a video my 9 and 12 year old made. Favorite part is about 3:00 minutes and then from about 5:00 -8:15. My son thought they may have burned the truck up. He couldn't see on the drone when they backed out of the grass.

That bum leg may make him a home body. Meaning he may be less likely to travel far and get killed. Toss up either way.
