Deer of the Day - 301 Inches of Horn, Josh Tucker

February 10, 2012 By North American Whitetail Online Staff

Josh Tucker had a 2011 whitetail hunting season to remember. On the opening afternoon of the Prairie State's bow opener, Tucker was able to drop a 141-inch 10 pointer in Pike County, Illinois.

20 days later he was looking to fill his second buck tag and found success -- again in Pike County -- with an 11-point, 160-inch hoss.

21 days and 301 inches of horn! A great season by anyone's measuring stick!

Congrats on your bucks Josh!

We want your buck as our Deer of the Day! Please send us an image of your buck, a brief description (including where you're from) of your hunt and the gear used to whitetail@imoutdoors.com

Start to Finish Success for Ultimate Season Bucks

As a whitetail hunter and landowner dedicated to pursuing great bucks each season, North American Whitetail's Blake Garlock depends on a lot of motorized gear from September to late January. Whether it's a side-by-side UTV, a chain saw, a tractor, or a powered-up limb saw, Garlock relies on Star brite's Quick Fix Engine Rescue to keep his engines running smoothly for months on end. From planting food plots to trimming up shooting lanes to driving to and from a stand, Garlock depends on Star brite's Quick Fix blend of polyetheramine (P.E.A.) and proprietary Star Tron ENZYME technology to keep fuel systems clean, moisture at bay, deposits removed, and top-end fuel efficiency leading to fast engine start-up and all-season success.

Early Fall Tactics for Big Ultimate Season Bucks

There are few things that get North American Whitetail's Blake Garlock more fired up than chasing early season bucks with his bow. While the bucks are still on late summertime patterns, that doesn't mean they are pushovers for a bowhunter hanging high up in a treestand. For Garlock, that means having a quiet pack filled with necessities like a safety harness, an Ozonics ozone generator to keep sweaty scent at bay, and a supply of milkweed to test the wind currents. While the heat is on, he'll also have on hand plenty of water and protein snacks like Old Trapper's various beef jerky flavors, nutritious energy that will help him stay focused on a warm evening sit until that tall-racked whitetail steps out into last light shooting range.
