Deer of the Day - New Brunswick Heavyweight, Ian Mackinnon

August 31, 2011 By North American Whitetail Online Staff

Ian Mackinnon first saw his massive bodied buck on his Bushnell Trophy Cam horsing around with another mainframe 8 point. The picture was taken the middle of September in New Brunswick, Canada and Ian had high hopes that he'd get the drop on one of these big bucks with his bow.

Using his Fred Bear Truth 2 bow with Easton Power Flight carbon arrows that were tipped with Slick Trick broadheads, Ian was able to take the 10-point buck that field dressed out at 260 lbs!

"This was a big deer for here, but the eight point in the trail cam picture has a bigger rack than this 10 point. I hope to see him in the 2011 season," shared MacKinnon.

We hope you do to Ian. Congrats on your Deer of the Day!

We want your buck as our Deer of the Day! Please send us an image of your buck, a brief description of your hunt and the gear used to whitetail@imoutdoors.com

Ripcord Arrow Rests Rejuvenates Lineup with Three New Models

One of bowhunting's most important accessories is the arrow rest, a key component to achieving deadly accurate arrow flight when Mr. Big is only 25-yards away and turned broadside for just a moment. And as Pure Archery Group's Todd Snader tells North American Whitetail magazine editor and television show host Haynes Shelton, the three models of Ripcord Arrow Rests' rejuvenated lineup for 2024 deliver amazingly accurate shots downrange, whether that's into the 10-ring of a summertime 3-D target or the boiler room of a mature buck moving through the woods in November.
