Christopher Michael Cleaver, of Judsonia, was arrested Nov. 2 charged with nine counts of night hunting and one count of violating tagging requirements. Officers were working in the […]
Imagine being the guy at the front desk when this deer decides to check in for the night … or maybe not. A clattering of noisy feet and banging around in a college town hotel usually means specials like nickel beer or jello shooters at McSlobber’s Pub. But this buck wild experience at the Days […]
Mock scrapes are one of the best ways to get a buck’s attention and give you a great chance at killing a big one. You’re not going to have as much success with your mock scrapes without a licking branch. Deer use the scrape and licking branch to communicate with other deer. Their preorbital gland […]
Devin Solomon photographed this buck being chased by two pointers with tracking collars. We weren’t sure what was going on (and admitted as much in our original post) but Solomon has reached out to let us know what was happening. “I don’t want to portray the idea that I’m out here encouraging dogs ripping deer […]
One of the worst parts of doing summer work in the woods, especially in the Southeast, is the giant spiderwebs hanging across trails. It’s like these doggone spiders intentionally know you’re going to be coming in to put out some salt, check feeders, clean up stand sites, do trim work or whatever. They’re lying in […]

Somehow a young deer made its way along a busy 6-lane highway but then became stuck in a fence and bleated for its life while drivers sped by. One family and then some other folks stopped to lend a hand before law enforcement officials could arrive to assist. The deer bleated and screamed as any […]
A monstrous battle that included legislators ganging up (nothing new, eh) while opponents and proponents slugged it out has ended up with a failed effort by one vote to reclassify captive deer as livestock and give a state agricultural agency control over deer farms. According to the Associated Press in this story, Missouri lawmakers came up […]
Biological research officials from multiple agencies have confirmed at least seven captive whitetail deer on one northeast farm were infected with chronic wasting disease, heightening concerns about the potential spread of the fatal disease. The seven deer were identified earlier this year on a farm in Pennsylvania as having the disease, which is fatal. Deer cannot be tested […]
So, what do you think? Could an adult alligator eat a full-grown adult deer without tearing it into pieces? Like, yeah. One bite, One gulp. The biggest big gulp you can think of. A deer, let’s say an adult doe of about 3 years old, is probably 110-125 pounds or so on average in most […]
