61. Tinkle Up A Buck
    H. Bumper Bauer
    I have been hunting in West Virginia over the last several years and during that time I have had the great pleasure of getting to know and become friends with an elderly mountain man who has killed more than his share of trophy bucks. During one of my trips to visit him on his secluded farm I arrived while he was working in his barn. As I arrived the barn doors were standing open and I was astonished to see the number of large whitetail racks he had tacked to the inside of them. Never in my life had I seen that many trophy racks in one place. I had to find out whatever hunting secret it was that he knew to be able to kill that many quality bucks . . . more

64. What Happened to This Buck?
    Ralph Scherder
    Every big buck seems to have its own mystery, and sometimes that mystery is a hard one to solve. They fight for breeding rights -- not just sparring matches, either. When two mature animals, each weighing in the neighborhood of 200 pounds and carrying sharp-tined racks, go at it, they're bound to inflict wounds upon one another. . . . more
    
    
65. For the Record: Charlie Zirkle
    Ralph Scherder
    "Several years ago I decided to plant a food plot behind my house. I bought a bag of Clover Mix, made by the Heartland Wildlife Institute in Ohio. I own a twelve acre field and planted only an acre and a half of it. "Within a week or two the clover started coming up and fifty deer showed up to feed on it. What made it so funny . . . more

67. For the Record: Wally Carr
    Ralph Scherder
    Walking into Wally Carr's house is akin to walking into a taxidermy shop. All you see are deer mounts, and all of those deer are big bucks, many of them scoring well into the record books. The biggest buck in the collection was taken in 1996, a 13-point that gross scores 176 3/8 inches and nets 163 2/8 inches, Pope & Young. . . . more
    
    
68. Strange Velvet
    Ralph Scherder
    Growing up with a taxidermy shop in the basement, I thought I'd seen it all when it came to deer antlers -- until the fall of 2008, when we received not one, but two bucks in to mount that were still in full velvet . . . more

70. Ethics Part 1 -- Enough Spots for Everyone
    Ralph Scherder
    Recently I was working on a story for a magazine. I'd decided to interview a guy and write a story about the 160-class buck he'd killed last fall in western Pennsylvania. The interview was just about in the can when the guy suddenly changed his mind about having his story featured in a magazine. I asked why. "Because word will get out about where this buck was killed," he said. "Even if I don't mention the spot specifically, people will find out. . . . more
    
    
71. For the Record: Randy Delawder
    Ralph Scherder
    Randy Delawder dubbed the buck "the Ghost." Over the course of three years, Randy spotted the buck several times during the summer months but seemed to vanish come hunting season. Until October 6, 2008, when Randy finally caught up to "the Ghost." The results were almost supernatural. . . . more

73. Preparing and Cooking Venison
    Ralph Scherder
    Hopefully you were successful last season and have a freezer-full of venison. Here at Trophy Buck Secrets, we enjoy feasting on venison that we have harvested. It's the circle of life -- from the field to our dinner tables. The ancient Romans lauded the pleasures of hunting for and consuming wild game and so should we. Historians suggest that venison has been consumed longer as a food than other meats, including beef, chicken, and pork. . . . more
    
    
74. Getting (and Keeping) Permission to Hunt
    Ralph Scherder
    With the increased interest in out-of-state hunting, as well as the nationwide increase in posted property, gaining access to good hunting areas can be very competitive. Many landowners allow hunting by permission, but only give it to a select few. However, with a little courtesy and self-confidence, you can tip the scales in your favor and gain access to excellent deer hunting and maintain it for many years. . . . more

79. When to Start Winter Feeding
    Ralph Scherder
    Winter is a time of reflection for most deer hunters, as well as a time of planning for next year. But what most hunters don't realize is the winter months often dictate how successful next year will be. Whether you actually hunt over bait or not, feeding deer is a worthwhile venture, and there's no better time to do it than once the season ends. . . . more
