Make Money For Hunting

Posted on February 1st, 2009 by admin in trophy hunter | 16 Comments »

http://www.worksmart4you.com/

If you would like more time to go hunting but can’t because of work or not enough money, then learn what other sportsmen are doing to hunt when and where they want by using the power of the internet to make more money than they do at their job. To harvest a trophy buck consistently every year takes time, scouting, and preparation. Most hunters don’t have the time to do it all because of their jobs. Most hunters also don’t realize that if they’re just willing to learn a few things about how to market on the internet, they could generate more income for themselves than they can imagine. But the key is to have the right person show them and walk them through the right way to get started and get setup. Mature whitetails are difficult to harvest while bowhunting in states like MI, PA, NY because of the high hunter numbers but are a lot easier to hunt in states like Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, MO, NE where Pope and Young numbers are the highest per hunter. That’s why you don’t find a lot of hunting videos that are filmed in Michigan.

carlmannoutfitting.com Presents: Trophy Mule Deer Hunting

Posted on January 15th, 2009 by admin in trophy hunter | 25 Comments »

Carl Mann’s Montana Experience Outfitters offers one of Montana’s best areas in the state for big bucks. The Northeast corner of Montana has the highest success rate for big bucks anywhere in the state. 98% of our hunters go home with a trophy mule deer, whitetail, elk and/or an antelope buck. We know this is a bold statement, but after outfitting for over 30 years we don’t know of any other place where you may see as many as a 100 deer in a single day - and 20 of them will be bucks. Out of that 20, about 2 or 3 may be wall hangers. After you have filled your buck tag with your big buck we are glad to take you out after wily coyotes or perhaps some bird hunting. This hunt coincides with the mating season at the peak of the rut for the bucks of the Missouri River breaks. This hunt is for the discriminate mule deer hunter who would like to hang a trophy buck on the wall. At this time of year the big bucks seem to come out of their hiding places and make themselves available as they move all day long across the prairie in search of does in heat. The bucks are more plentiful and are very visual. Your chances of taking a wall hanging 4×4 or 5×5 are 90-100%. I can put you within 225 yards, standing broadside to one of these magnificent bucks.

WEIRD, STRANGE, ANIMALS INHABIT OHIO COUNTRYSIDE PIEBALD

Posted on January 11th, 2009 by admin in trophy hunter | 25 Comments »

“White Ghosts,” the weird, strange animals that inhabit an Ohio countryside.
Action shots in a natural setting of wild, white (piebald) Virginia Whitetails. These rare, unusual animals were photographed in the wild.

At least 6 white deer were seen at different times in the same area. One was pure white, about a foot taller than the other deer, and had a huge rack. Another deer had a large band or belt of white fur around its middle like a Poland China hog. Its twin was white, but the only time I filmed the white twin was in a split second as it jumped behind a tree (it had been standing by the banded deer and their mother). A white fawn was seen once. Around 30 years ago, many area people saw a white deer with a black spot. A sixth white deer was seen and photographed along our river valley (Alum Creek, in Ohio).

The piebald deer also had a sort of Roman nose — one with an enlargement in the front of the face - that some of the deer in the area had. The wooly deer had a whiteish face with white eyebrows. It also seemed to also have an unusually long tail.

In this video, as many as 3 piebald deer were photographed together-a very rare occurrence. A number of other piebald deer were seen on the farm, as shown in other videos.

Piebald, albino, “white,” and “black” whitetail deer are very rare. In Bolder Junction, Wis., a man once photographed 3 albino deer standing together. The odds of doing this in wild deer have been calculated as astronomical — 1 in 79 billion. Such calculations are based on assumptions. For example, the odds of finding an albino deer are often calculated as 1 in 30,000. Less than 1 % of whitetail deer are piebald. However seeing either a wild piebald or an albino deer is considered a once in a lifetime experience.

Black or Melanistic whitetails are very, very rare, and much rarer than either white piebald or albino deer. A person can recognize a melanistic deer because they produce too much of the pigment known as melanin and this makes them much darker than a typical whitetail. Of the millions of deer taken each year only a very few with melanism have been reported. Most people don’t know they even exist because of their extreme rarity. A melonistic buck is a true trophy. Some melanistic whitetails are very dark and some are even pure black. Only 1 has, so far, been photographed here as shown below:

White deer and white buffalo figure prominently in the legends of people throughout the world. Sometimes these animals are considered ghosts and at other times presage an omen. The Chickasaw, Seneca, Apache, Aztec, Cheyenne, Lenca, Cherokee, Pawnee, Sioux, Shasta, Algonquin, Pawnee, Sioux, Lakota and many other groups have legends about white deer. Such animals are so strange in appearance that they immediately capture interest and make people watch for them. (These were wild deer on our farm taped by Scott and extracted from longer films.)

** Some of the world’s largest bucks live in Ohio. Some of its world champion bucks have Boone and Crockett scores of over 300 points. Ohio’s Beatty Buck may be the (or among the) largest ever taken by a hunter. That title of the largest whitetail, ever, in the record books belongs to the “Missouri Monarch,” a 333-7/8 buck found dead on the side of a road in 1982 near St. Louis. In second place is the legendary “Hole in the Horn,” found dead in Ohio in 1940, however, many whitetail experts think that it is actually the largest set of whitetail deer antlers in history. It may be the most famous whitetail known.

Deer have an amazing assortment of communicative signs. Approximately 100 different vocalizations have been recorded, such as tending grunts, dominant grunts, bleats, and many others. They make extensive use of sign language.

WHITE DEER - ACTION SHOTS RARE WHITE WILD WHITETAIL BUCK

Around 30 years ago, many area people saw a white deer with a black spot. A sixth white deer was seen and photographed along our river valley (Alum Creek, in Ohio).

This deer also had a sort of concave nose — one with an enlargement in the front of the face - that some of the deer in the area had. I doubt that inbreeding caused this whiteness, because these were wild deer. There were many deer in the area at that time. Now with development, there are fewer deer and fewer white deer.

BIG DEER

Posted on January 6th, 2009 by admin in trophy hunter | 25 Comments »

A 14 point buck I filmed one night while spotting deer. Largest deer I’ve ever seen in the wild. He was killed on the first day of buck by a hunter on that property. http://fotozac.smugmug.com/gallery/2487743#172020974

Huge buck! The one-time Iowa state archery record

Posted on January 6th, 2009 by admin in trophy hunter | 25 Comments »

The buck in this video is featured in the painting “Big Timber Bucks” by Larry Zach. See http://www.zachwildlifeart.com for more on this painting.

This video is composed of clips from video footage shot by Larry of his trophy deer and inspiration for the print “Big Timber Bucks.” The video shows the buck during the fall of 1999 and during the summer of 2000 before it was harvested. Take care to notice the extreme increase in antler size during that one year.

The first print in Zach’s Big Buck Series, Big City Bucks (see video of this buck on YouTube also), featured deer living in Des Moines, Iowa. This painting was followed by the second in the series, Big Timber Bucks. This print features three bucks that lived in a more typical setting — the heavy timber of southeast Iowa. Larry and his two children were lucky enough to harvest all three bucks with within a couple miles of each other during the hunting seasons of 1999 and 2000.

On November 5, 1999, Larry and his 17 year-old son, Chris were in a shingle oak overlooking a secluded clover patch on their southeast Iowa farm. That morning, Chris filled his antlerless tag with a mature doe. Evening found them in the same tree, Larry with video camera, Chris with bow and arrow and a statewide archery tag to fill. Another doe came in to feed, this time followed by a mature, 5½ year-old buck! Slowly the pair fed into the clover patch and into a shooting lane. Chris made an excellent shot when the big non-typical finally turned broadside at 25 yards. Chris’ excitement and pride was surpassed only by his dad’s.

October 18, 2000, Larry was in the same tree, this time with his 14 year-old daughter April. It was early muzzleloader season and one of only two evenings they would be able to hunt that season. Larry and his daughter, April A little after sunset a beautiful non-typical moved into the clover patch to feed as Larry again captured the action on video. After several tense minutes of waiting for the right angle, April made a great shot and harvested her first buck which grossed 171 4/8 and netted 161 4/8.

Each year Larry spends a great deal of time studying wildlife and much of that time is spent with whitetail deer. During the summer of 2000 one of the bucks Larry captured on tape was an enormous non-typical. Later, while studying old tapes, he realized he had captured the same buck in the same field in October 1999. The most amazing thing was that the buck had gone from a 170+ non-typical to a 240+ non-typical in one year! This growth can be seen in this video.

On October 26, Larry was lucky enough to harvest the huge buck. Larry’s big non-typical netted 237 3/8 with 51 2/8 inches of non-typical points. Its 10-point typical frame grossed 188 0/8 and netted 186 1/8. Unfortunately, it had already lost a 5-6 inch non-typical tine.

Records are made to be broken and that certainly has been the case with the number one, Pope & Young, non-typical in Iowa. In 1993, the buck in the background of Zach’s Old Rivals II, the Hobart buck (229 5/8 P&Y), took state record status. In 1994, the Clarken buck (231 7/8 P&Y) in the foreground of Old Rivals III became the new number one. Seven years later, on October 26, 2001, Larry shot his prize buck (237 3/8 P&Y). Its time atop the standings was short-lived, however. Larry and non-typical buck A few days later, on November 3, 2000, Dave Gordon shot a new record (240 4/8 P&Y), yet again surpassing the record.

Many magazine articles have been written describing Larry’s hunt, and they, along with articles about Larry’s artwork, can be found for reading at www.zachwildlifeart.com.

The buck and the original painting are usually on display at Zach Wildlife Art Gallery in Ankeny.

Harvesting does is an important part of maintaining a balanced and healthy herd. Like the rest of the family, Larry’s wife, Marcia, has taken several does over the years. Putting a doe in the background of the painting adds to the story and gives everyone in the Zach family a deer in Big Timber Bucks.

A set of massive, non-typical, sheds were found by a turkey hunter in southeast Iowa in April of 2001. One of the sheds can be found in the background of Big Timber Bucks and gives a clue to the main subject of the third and final print in Zach’s Big Buck Series, Big Country Bucks.
