King Kong, age 5, of Oklahoma, was born in 2002. He left this life on November 20, 2007. Okay, I'm not much of an obituary writer, but if ever a whitetail deserved an obituary, King Kong did.

Decoying is becoming more and more popular and for good reason. People are killing some monster whitetails over them. In my opinion, a decoy can be the best thing for you if it is used right. Here are some dos and don'ts and some whens and wheres about Decoying big mature whitetails.

No, I'm not talking about the big ape. This appropriately named whitetail (he is a monster) resides at the Wallahachie. The BuckVentures boys tend to give the deer they hunt names. It sort of helps them carry on the legacy of the whitetail. In case you're not familiar with the Wallahachie, it's the BuckVentures' hunting ground where Jeff Danker downed a huge deer (176") last season with his Knight muzzleloader. (This particular deer's name was Ali because of his fighting skills.)

As I look back over the last 28 years of deer hunting, there is one factor that stands out more than any other when it comes to being a positive impact of a whitetails well being. That is "Quality Deer Management". Hunters, land owners & managers along with guides & outfitters from across the country have made habitat enhancement and herd management the cornerstone to a healthier, age balanced deer herd. With that, you will see bigger bodied heavier racked bucks. What's making the difference for us here at BuckVentures and all of our pro-staffers across the Midwest is a mineral supplement program. Our supplement choice is the most powerful, all natural mineral on the market today, which is TROPHY ROCK.
