Have you ever found a tick on you after a day in the field or deep woods?  Most of us have and many hunters have been bitten by ticks. Ticks carry several pathogens that cause disease, but the most well known is Lyme Disease. Although not prevalent in some parts of the country, New England was, and still is, a major hot spot. There are ways to prevent the spread of this disease and we discuss all those aspects with Dr. Alan Eaton of the University of New Hampshire's Co-Operative Extension.  We also speak with Randy Gagne, a former Big Buck Registry guest and victim of Lyme Disease. We explore the myths, the facts, and how you can walk out of the woods feeling a bit safer. We discuss how to identify the most threatening ticks, where they are found in the country most frequently, help you determine if you are at risk, and what to do when you are bit.  The fun starts this Saturday on the Big Buck Podcast!

And then there's the Viking Buck. So named recently by our own Dusty Phillips. Chris Jacobson's 2014 Buck is one to remember, not for tall tines but for the incredibly thick main beams! The smallest diameter point is 4.5 inches, near the tip! Makes you want to devise a whole new scoring system for these fat "viking helmet" like racks. Water displacement perhaps? Hear Chris tell the story on this week's Big Buck Deer Hunting Podcast! The fun starts on Saturday!

VERMILLION COUNTY, INDIANA-  Sometimes, after a hard day's work, all you get is ONE hour. That's it.  You take what you can get.   Richard Swinford caught that last hour of sunlight on a windy November day, threw on his brown Carhartt coveralls, a grey hoodie, and headed to his deer stand on the family farm.  What happened after that is nothing shy of extraordinary. What does a 400+ pound buck look like on the hoof?  Richard Swinford knows for sure.

When a big buck appears on your game camera, your interest in hunting the area peaks (especially when the buck exhibits 14 points with long tines). Hunting on just 30 acres, which turned out to be some prime free-range Missouri whitetail habitat, Spencer Dunn took advantage of a great opportunity and killed the biggest buck of his life.

Comedian, hunter, traveler, all-natural master caller of numerous species of game, and outdoor lifestyle ambassador extraordinaire. These are titles that we could use to describe Josh Carney. Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of the Son of the South is his unparalleled positive attitude and ability to easily make anyone near him laugh, smile, and observe in aw.  Josh's story starts with a hurdle that most people may never get over. Josh has a chair with wheels and one with a motorized track, but hardly needs either, despite being paralyzed from the waist down. Some would view his story as tragic, but to Josh it's simply a motivator.

ZANY - adjective def: 1. amusingly unconventional and idiosyncratic 

This best describes the classic outdoor hunting cult television show turned production company, better known as Animalhouse Outdoors​ productions.  

Not long ago Carlton Spaulding (aka Chipcity) & Marc Balestreri (aka Lord Crungle) were leading the charge in "never seen before" hunting television, pushing the envelope at every turn.  They ROCKED the outdoor industry. One DVD and a massive guerrilla marketing campaign later, both Chip and Marc have moved their talents to bigger productions.   A little older and wiser now, we caught up with 2 of the original AnimalHouse members to see where they are at today.

Standing next to a water cooler at work might be the last place you'd think to scout for new hunting spots. You also might not get super excited when a co-worker says they have 20 acres of 4 wheeler property and you're welcome to it. But for Mike Behrmann, this was a dream come true.  One thing Mike has learned over the years is that asking access to hunt a property, even if the conversation starts at the company water cooler, is a skill that all hunters should perfect to be successful in the field. In Mike's case, it lead to a buck of a lifetime.
