Nosy One

Little Guy

Who says you can’t find a mature buck with decent antlers in south MO?? Well if you’d asked me up til now, I probably would’ve told you that! I know big deer are killed down here every year, it’s just I’m from north MO and there’s no comaparison in the quantity of those big deer from up there to here. Above is a pic of one such deer that’s not a monster, but is definately an mature buck with some pretty impressive headgear.

I also had to include a few others that were just sort of fun. I tell you, I get just about as much enjoyment out of checking the game cams as I do hunting. It’s like christmas every time I put that memory stick in the computer!!

We’ve got a hunt to share with you this week that we never got published from last year so stay tuned for that and hopefully a lot more!

Game Cam Buck Pictures

“Young Deer With Potential”


“Brows”

Here are a couple of pics of some young bucks that hopefully make it through this year. Looks like both of these deer have some great potential and should make for some fun encounters this bow season!

Getting pics in our area in north Missouri has gotten a bit more tough this year as we aren’t allowed to set out salt licks, corn or anything else to congregate deer pre-season for some pics. There were a few cases (and I do mean few) of CWD up north of our area that has put our all powerful conservation dept on high alert and there seems to be a little bit of kneejerking going on around there.

Just got another camera out down here in southwest MO so hopefully I’ll have more pics to share with you soon. Stay tuned…

Waterfowl Trailer Graphics – Logo Design – Your Buck as a Decal

August 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment

GOOSE DECALS

Tis the season for all things outdoors! I can’t believe that September is just around the corner ushering in a new archery season and shortly thereafter a waterfowl season! My 5yr old son came walking into the living room a couple of mornings ago having just woke up and announced that he had dreamed I’d killed a really BIG BUCK! After I swelled with pride I told him of my dream of whacking a bunch of ducks and geese. In my household, hunting seasons never take us by surprise, they are always much anticipated!

With season right around the corner I wanted to showcase a few things that we’re doing here at HunterByDesign.com. One of the things I’m really excited about is the logo design we’ve been doing for people lately. This is something that has become more popular for hunting clubs, groups of hunting buds, or a new business that’s needing to communicate well with their consumer base.

DUCK LAYOUT

Custom graphics is sort of our thing here;   it keeps things interesting and fun.  Send me a pic of your 1st buck, that big bruiser you killed last year, or a good trail cam photo of that big one you’re going after this year and proudly display it in vinyl on your back glass.  You can have your own namesake buck that will leave fellow hunters asking questions which allows you to tell your big story one more time ;-)

CUSTOM BUCK DECAL

Us waterfowlers are usually pretty proud of what we do and I can think of no better way to display that pride than by custom designing your waterfowl trailer with some kick butt decals!  I’ve got some geese and duck layouts that will make you stand out from the crowd.

Nothing is changing about our goal here on HunterByDesign.com and that is to bring you some great videos of us interacting with God’s amazing creation!  We are going to work harder than ever to bring you consistant footage of great hunts, great information, and simply great fun in the outdoors!

Stay tuned………..

Kat Killers

Bobcat Down

1st Bobcat for Travis - Congrats!

Ryan scored another cat this year when this cat slipped in on him while deer hunting. Ryan put this cat down with his .270.

Even though you might think that Travis strangled his cat with his necktie that is now missing from his button up the front shirt, this is not the case. Travis put this cat down with a nice shot from a .30-.30.

If you’re not seeing/shooting big bucks, I guess you might as well be taking out a few predators. Congrats guys, nice shooting. I think I just heard our turkey population exhale a collective sigh of relief!

Well Shut My Mouth!

Monster Buck

Wow is about all you can say about this deer. This deer was killed up in north MO here in the last couple of days. This deer has it all – the drop tines are like icing on the cake.

Funny side note to this story is that my brother-in-law saw this deer very early that morning on the way to work while it was still dark. He said that the deer stood not 20yrds off the side of the road while he stopped his car and sat there admiring him.

Didn’t personally know the hunter that shot this deer as I believe that he comes in from the city to hunt. Sounds like he had been hunting him hard after catching some pics on a trail cam. So a congrats to the hunter that shot this deer and lets all hope that this buck has been doing some heavy breeding over the past few years!!

Big Buck Down

Beautiful Buck

A cousin of mine just sent me this pic of the deer he shot this morning up in north MO. What a beautiful deer. It’s not too often that you get to see a deer with this many typical points much less harvest one. The great news for him is that believe it or not, this is not the big one!!

I’ve shown the trail cam pics of a deer that looks very similar to this one and you immediately think that this is a one of a kind deer. After caping this deer out, it was obvious that this buck was not the one that was shot last year with the muzzleloader, although without doubt a close relative!! These are some great genetics and are an example of what deer are capable of given good soil and by using quality deer management techniques.

Congrats Hugh, thanks again for sharing!!

Nov 9th & 10th Bucks

Mature 8pt

Young 8 - Coming Under Stand

I’ve been having fun up here in North MO, but have yet to connect with a mature buck. I’ve had lots of deer around me and have gotten some neat video of deer behavior, but the big ones are eluding me. Today I was close to a mature buck that slipped by at 40yrds. He was behind a bit of brush, but I did manage to catch a little video of him. He’s no monster, but I believe he’s mature enough to be a shooter, especially with the bow. The second pic is of a young 8pt that came and hung out under my stand yesterday. These pics aren’t the greatest as they’re taken by my phone off of my video. I’ll put a little video together here in a week or so of snippets of the deer & wildlife I’ve saw this week. I’m going back after them tomorrow and then it’s rifle season on Saturday. Ought to be a fun weekend!

Chasing Does

The Rut is On!

This is a grainy pic off of some video I took right at dark this evening (Nov. 4th). It was a great hunt that has left me pumped to get back out into the woods! I’ll put these snippets of vid together at the end of the week for you all to enjoy, but here is a quick pic to show one of the guys I’m thinking about chasing! Follow me this week as I post pics and stories (hopefully some video) as I chase the ever exciting, ever elusive whitetail deer! The rut is on – get out there!!

Beautiful Buck Down – Oct 27, 2011

Mature Buck

Mature Buck

A friend of mine down in Southwest MO sent me these pics along with the great story. Congrats Joe – thanks for sharing!!

It started off as a bad day when I realized that I had forgot my boots at the house….. It was gonna be a cold, wet walk to my stand. I was able to make it until 9 am and I had to get out of the stand. I was back at the truck at 9:50am. I started down the road and I went about 1/2 mi and noticed this buck standing on a farm that I could hunt. I went about a 1/2 mile past and parked the truck. The stalk was now on. I got with in 100yrds and seen him on the same ridge with his nose still to the ground. I continued my stalk and got with in 50 yrds and I could hear him grunting like crazy. He continued to go back and forth and I knew he was searching for a doe that he had been chasing. As he started to leave I moved my arm and let him see it move and gave a soft grunt… the rest is history. He came hard grunting all the way. He thought I (the movement) he saw was his doe!!! He came to 18 yards and that was when I let the arrow fly. He went about 100 yrds and there was no worrys about following the blood trail!!! God is good!

Nice Wide Iowa Buck

October 6, 2011 by Leave a Comment

193 green score - main frame 11pt

A good friend of mine down in southwest MO just sent me this pic of an amazing buck. Like me, Brad has been transplanted from the land of big deer (Iowa for him, north MO for me) to the land of not so much – southwest MO. This deer was killed near his old stomping grounds up in Iowa – just wanted to share this deer with you all – what a beast!

I’m hoping to slow down a bit here in the next few weeks and get more opportunities to get out in a tree! You can bet I’ll have my camera along to share the hunt with you!

Good luck!
