iPhone Revenge A couple months ago, I shot a hole in an old iPhone from 100 yards with a Barnett Raptor FX crossbow—just for fun. Last week, I was texting on my current iPhone when a deer trotted in and out of my life before I could get the phone in my pocket and my release clipped to my bow. I guess I should have shot my real phone when I had the chance, huh? —Dave Hurteau, deputy editor #hyperaccurate

Put an arrow in this 11pt in NW Arkansas yesterday!

Sight in Right for Crossbow Season Most new top-end crossbows feature a scope with a range-compensating reticle, including a main crosshair and a number of hashes (or dots) beneath. Remember, those hashes do not inherently correlate to any specific ranges. That depends on how fast the bolt travels, which changes from crossbow to crossbow. To nail down the range values for the hashes on your scope, you need to first set the power ring to match the bow's speed, and then sight in the main crosshair at 20 or 30 yards. Next, use a rangefinder while you shoot targets at a variety of distances to learn exactly where each hash is dead on. Write it on a card and tape it to the butt-stock. —Dave Hurteau, deputy editor #hyperaccurate

Via Points North...

Just as the last few minutes of light and hope were fading from my hunt, I swung the binos over 3 does feeding in the corner of the field. Behind them I saw the wide chest of this buck, standing in the timber. He stepped out, and the 300 short mag roared. This is my first whitetail buck, and I was as excited as any moose I've tipped over. He's a beautiful, representative Alberta buck, and sitting here reflecting, with a belly full of breakfast tenderloin, I couldn't be more pleased. #winchester #winchesterammo #leupoldoptics #shortmag #redwillowoutfitters #ruletherut

TENNESSEE TUCKER BUCK WILL LIKELY BE STATE RECORD NON-TYPICAL WHITETAIL, BUT HAS POTENTIAL OF BECOMING WORLD RECORD Stephen Tucker, 26, of Gallatin had a hunt of a lifetime or perhaps hundreds of thousands of lifetimes. On Monday he bagged a buck while muzzleloader hunting in Sumner County in Middle Tennessee and as it turned out its unique set of antlers had 47 points that totaled more than 300 inches in length. Because the buck's rack was so unique, TWRA Captain Dale Grandstaff measured it using Boone & Crockett stipulations for non-typical racks. The impressive deer, taken with a muzzleloader on Monday, November 7, had a gross (green) score of 313 2/8ths inches. However, after deductions for reasons defined by Boone & Crockett, Captian Grandstaff had to make deductions and determined that the buck had a net (green) score of 308 3/8ths inches. The current world record taken in Iowa is 307 5/8ths inches. There is a chance, even if Captain Grandstaff's measurements are accurate, that the required 60-day drying period could shrink the length below world record status. Tennessee's current state non-typical record is 244 3/8ths inches, also taken from Sumner County in 2000, giving the Tucker Buck an excellent possibility of at least shattering the current state record. The antlers will be measured again in 60-days and TWRA official Boone and Crockett scorers will determine if the buck is indeed the world record. If other certified scorers agree with Captain Grandstaff--and he noted that he is the only person who has yet measured the rack--then the next phase of scoring will occur when Boone & Crockett members meet at their awards banquet and other certified scorers determine if Tennessee's official score should stand. That B & C banquet is will not take place until the spring of 2019. Regardless, until Monday only one free-ranging white-tailed buck harvested by a hunter with a muzzleloader had ever been certified as having more than 300 inches of antlers on its head, according to Captain Grandstaff. That deer is the current non-typical world record killed in September of 2003 in Monroe County, Iowa. Tim Beck's 37 pointer is the number 2 all time by a hunter with a net score of 305 7/8ths in Indiana. Coincidentally, Captain Grandstaff noted that only a day or two earlier than when Tucker killed the Sumner County buck, another potential world record "typical" deer was killed by a hunter in Iowa. This typical 7 x 7 rack could net between 210 to 220 inches, according to the captain. The current typical world record is 213 5/8ths inches and was killed by Milo Hanson in November 1993 in Biggar, Saskatchewan Canada. In the photos: Stephen Tucker of Gallatin with the potential new world record non-typical deer. And, The Tennessee Tucker Buck rack up close.

Clinton-Voter Rut Tactic: Clandestine Core-Area Ambush // By Scott Bestul ★ You’ve probably been sharing sensitive information about specific bucks with a few high-clearance buddies—trail-cam photos, sightings, and other intel. Your job as the rut approaches is to secretly collect all the key data on the very best bucks (maybe put it in a private folder on your computer). Then really dig into the details—times, dates, wind directions, barometer readings—to pinpoint each buck’s pre-rut core area. Next, secretly visit those spots to find the freshest buck sign. Research shows that even during the peak of the rut, bucks continually return to their pre-rut core areas to rest up. Your strategy today is to sit over the hottest sign for as long as you can. If your buds are suspicious later when you show off your bruiser, or they ask why you haven’t spoken to them in two weeks, tell them your brain short-circuited.

Can everybody do us a favor and give us a like and share. Also if interested in a hunt, message us for details

Greg Badgett, owner of Double B Outfitters (doubleboutfitter.weebly.com) is excited about the rifle opener in central Texas. "We received 3-1/2 inches rain Thursday, and cooler weather has moved in across the state this week. The deer movement has shifted somewhat to early mornings. Rut activity in south Texas and north Texas will be a little later, but it's on in central and southwest Texas. "We were excited to host a youth hunt here at the end of October. First-time deer hunter Swayde Cleavinger, 11, made a great shot to take this 5-1/2-year-old, 8-point management buck. The deer weighed 265 pounds on the hoof, and Swayde's .223 made short work of the 55-yard shot. We'll be hosting some ladies for a hunt over the next few days, and look forward to that!" —Scott Bestul, whitetails editor #RutReporters2016
