Buckventures: The Woodsman

Jeff and brother Brandon Danker hunt Prairie Pothole Lodge over the course of 2 years to narrow in on one tree. Jeff uses observation stands to sight big bucks and move stands to more favorable locations. Hunting a stand Jeff had hung the year before, Brandon ends up with a 160'+ buck at 20 yards. kwhunting kwwhitetail

Andy Bledsoe, longtime BuckVentures member, hunts Kansas with his rifle in 2011 and opening day of archery in TN in 2012. Andy hunts Triple Creek Outfitters during the 2011 rifle season and has a 160'+ buck within range on the first day. The following year Andy's preseason work ethic puts a big old Tennessee buck with bow range on the season's opener.

Brandon Adams has his archery equipment in central Kansas after a deer named 'Palms'. After chasing this deer in 2010, 'Palms' has put on +30' putting the deer into the 180's with over 40' of mass. Brandon has elected to use archery equipment during the early season in hopes of getting the old weary buck within bow range.

Daniel McVay is at it again in SW Iowa at Tails of the Hunt Outfitters with his bow in November. Daniel scored last season on a 155' buck and is hoping to repeat in 2012. He has a big mature buck making a scrape at 25 yards and watches his arrow fly underneath the buck's vitals. A few days later he has another shooter following a doe within range and Daniel has to forget his past failures and conc

Ryan and Brice Letcher hunt their home state of New Mexico after mule deer. New to the BVO team, they are not new to hunting deer near their home in SE NM. They're after a deer that Jeff knows all to well, 'Tank.' The hunt for this deer spans from January 2011 to January 2013 and ends with Tank standing at 50 yards broadside as Brice comes to full draw. Ryan also chases a deer named Shivers and ge

Brandon Danker hunts deer with his bow during the Iowa rut. After having a slow first week things heat up fast as he has a mature buck skirt him at 70 yards through the timber. After playing cat and mouse with this deer over the next few days it boils down to the last day as the buck follows a doe in a cut corn field that Brandon is perched in.

The BuckVentures crew shares encounters that couldn't make a complete episode. Daniel hunts a deer named Milo in Kansas, Terry chases mulies in New Mexico, Daniel and Buddy chase mulies and whitetails in Nebraska and Brandon Adams has a big buck walking through a Nebraska camp ground.

Jeff Danker and BuckVentures crew reflect on the last 10 years. We take a look at everyone's hunts during the early years as we see how far the team has came in a decade. Jeff gives thanks to his staff for helping him get as far as we've came and the staff thanks Jeff for the opportunities received.
