 Andrae D'Acquisto is a self-admitted whitetail addict, having killed 27 Pope & Young whitetails, 4 of which have netted Boone & Crockett. Two of those booners sit in the top four of the Wisconsin state record books. His hunts are self guided, free of fences, and free of excuses. The name of his company, Lone Wolf Inc., speaks volumes for his hunting style. He does things his own way, often refusing to follow the mainstream industry "experts" in favor of his own proven techniques learned through years of experience in the field. His outdoor experiences are shared with his wife and four children, whether it's searching for bucks or catching northwoods walleyes. |

 Dan Infalt grew up in a large family where hunting wasn't as much a sport as a necessity. He learned how to provide for his family by learning from the animals. Countless hours in the woods taught him tactics that today's magazines don't discuss. His passion for the outdoors grew into an addiction for pursuing the best bucks in his hunting area, and you'll see he's quite good at it! Ask Dan what his secret is and he'll say, "There is no magic pixie dust when it comes to consistently hanging slob bucks on your wall. It takes dedication, persistence, and hard work." Dan and his hunting partners Jarrod Erdody and Lee Gatzke run the hunting website, Blood Brothers Outdoors. |

 Adam Crumrin is a 30 year old whitetail addict, to say the least. He has harvested 13 Pope & Young whitetails, 4 of which score over 170”. It is safe to say, his life revolves around big whitetails. Adam believes in order to kill big whitetails, you have to understand one thing; there is a big difference in "hunting deer" and "hunting mature bucks". Once a deer gets to be at least 4.5 years old, he is an entirely different animal, whose only purpose is to survive. If you don't watch what you do, he will know more about you than you know about him. There is nothing like trying to outsmart an old mature buck, and on the days he wins it only fuels Adam's addiction. |

 Alan Bliss was born and raised in central Iowa where his passion for the outdoors started at an early age. But rather than hunting whitetails, Alan's first love was trapping. Every year he strove to catch more and more raccoon, yet each fall he would always see big whitetail bucks while running his trapline. At the age of 22, Alan decided to purchase a bow and start hunting these bucks Iowa is famous for. His experiences trapping taught Alan how to get onto these big bucks, but it took him a while to start hitting them! Finally, in 2000, Alan shot his first good buck, and that's when the addiction to whitetails made Alan hang up his traps. Now, with many big bucks to his credit, Alan spends as much time as possible hunting that next buck. He takes 3 of his 4 weeks vacation each year from his job as a trucker to feed his addiction in the fall. |

Watch this year as we see the results of Joe's dedicated scouting and aggressive hunting tactics when Joe dropped his largest buck to date. |
