Midday Success in Wisconsin!

2008-11-10T15:58:00.000-06:00

Well, success came my way Saturday at 12:30 pm when I shot this
bruiser in Wisconsin. I had several days of miserable, wet, windy
weather, but I stuck it out and fortunately was in my stand when this
guy came past mid-day. He's a 4 and a half year old that had given my
buddy Shawn a really close encounter in early season. I haven't put a
tape to him yet...story and details to come. Good luck everyone!

Adam Hays shoots the "Moose" buck!

2008-10-30T22:52:00.000-05:00

After dreaming about getting a shot at Moose for 3 long years, it finally happened on October 28th.

I went out at 1pm to hunt a stand for the remainder of the day but when I got there the wind had shifted. I decided to go check a couple of my Predator trailcams and after checking the first one, moose had been right there 20 minutes earlier.He was in a 9 acre patch of some of the thickest stuff you can imagine. Figuring he would be in there till dark, I quickly returned to my truck, got ready, and headed in. I saw a half dozen does by 5:30 and they were all acting very nervous, I'm sure he had been bumping them around all day. At 5:45, moose came in browsing through the thicket. After filming him for 3 minutes he finally moved through a small opening at 18 yards. Although the shot looked good, the sign on my arrow didn't. I backed out and took up the trail in the morning, he had only gone about 60 yards.

He has 19 scorable points with his longest tine busted off. My best guess is the tine was close to 14" long. After a very quick scoring job, we came up with about 190

He has 19 scorable points with his longest tine busted off. My best guess is the tine was close to 14" long. After a very quick scoring job, we came up with about 190" with out the tine. I guess I will have to start shed hunting early this year to find that tine!!!

Good luck to everyone and hunt safe, Adam.

No Blood Yet

2008-10-11T19:27:00.001-05:00

So far this fall I’ve been concentrating half on killing a bear in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the other half chasing whitetails in Wisconsin and Michigan. Early September I hunted 3 nights in the UP and saw a single, small black bear. I then drove through the night to get to my spot in Wisconsin for the bow opener. I had a close call with a 160” 10 point on opening evening, but some sudden gusts of winds made a doe freak out a bit and the buck didn’t stick around. My partners have each seen some nice bucks there too, so we’re excited about this fall’s opportunities. I hunted there the following weekend but saw nothing good.

Last weekend I was in the UP again chasing bears, but they got the best of me again. After four evening hunts, I saw zero...zilch. One bait went cold. The others were getting hit late at night. I’ll be heading up one more time this next weekend for a final crack at those bears...

Back on the deer front, here in Michigan, I missed a golden opportunity on a nice buck this past week (Tuesday) because of work! I saw a nice 8 point, about a 125-130" 3.5 year old, which is a nice buck around my parts of Michigan here, on my way to work. I glassed him for several minutes and knew right where he was headed to bed. I just KNEW he'd be back out in the evening in a certain spot I've regularly seen them return to in the evening. But as work and luck would have it, I got caught up in a meeting until 6:30pm and wasn't able to scoot out early, hang a stand and kill this buck. Sure enough, when I passed by the area at 7pm, there he was, feeding contently right where I would have been setup....so it goes.... I setup for a morning sit at midnight that night. Overnight rains helped the setup but I don't think helped the buck stay on a pattern. I saw a small buck in the morning was all.

Now it's Saturday night and I just returned from a scouting mission. I saw that buck again... I'll be setting up on him tomorrow evening....we'll see how it goes this time! More to come.

Andrae's Bucks Officially Scored

2008-05-05T09:15:00.000-05:00

Recently, Andrae had several of his bucks officially scored. Turns out, he had been pretty conservative in his own scoring! His "Tuning Fork" buck from 2006 grosses 201" (and change). His "Flyer Buck" from 2007 has officially netted 202 (and change) non-typical. Both of these hunts were self-filmed by Andrae. You can see his 2006 buck on Volume 2 of our Whitetail Addictions DVDs. His 2007 buck will be featured in an episode this summer when the new shows start airing.

Andrae D'Acquisto Kills Another Booner by Bow...Then Kills a 172!

2007-11-05T19:05:00.001-06:00

Thursday morning, November 1st, The Lone Wolf himself, Andrae D'Acquisto
came up big and scored his 4th net Boone & Crockett whitetail by bow and
arrow. This giant officially nets 202" (and some change) Boone & Crockett. Andrae
called this buck the "Flyer" buck due to its "flyer" points off its G2's.

Just a few days later, Andrae dropped another beautiful buck with his bow... a mainframe 10 point with a broken left G4.

Andrae has multiple trail camera photos of these bucks and he captured
both hunts on film himself, so watch for more of these stories to
come on future episodes of Lone Wolf's Whitetail Addictions.

Adam Hays Kills His 3rd Buck Grossing Over 200 Inches!

2006-10-29T16:12:00.000-06:00

Official Score:

• 208 3/8" gross non-typical

• 200 6/8" net non-typical

• 196 3/8" gross typical

• 176 6/8" net typical

Ohio: On the evening of October 24, 2006, Adam Hays continued the streak of good fortune for the Whitetail Addicts out there when he killed this giant Boone & Crockett whitetail buck with his bow. This is the same buck we featured in our first episode of Whitetail Addictions when Danny Gibson, from Tennessee, missed him during a late season bowhunt which Adam filmed for him in January 2006. Adam had high hopes of killing this buck this fall, and when he confirmed his presence with a sighting in early October, this buck became the only thing that would feed his addiction this year in Ohio.

This buck makes Boone & Crockett both as a typical and non-typical. It officially scores 208 3/8" gross non-typical, and it nets 200 6/8" non-typical. The official typical score is 196 3/8" gross, and it nets 176 6/8". Adam captured the entire hunt on video himself. This is Adam's 3rd bowkill grossing over 200 inches and it is likely the largest grossing typical killed on video in 2006 and the 2nd largest all-time.

Adam is shooting a new prototype bow designed by Andrae D'Acquisto, called the Lobo™. It's just the second deer killed with this bow. Have a look at the first deer killed with the Lobo™. Look for more of his story on a future episode of Lone Wolf's Whitetail Addictions™ and here on our website. Congratulations Adam!
