Big mature buck behavior is much different than younger bucks. They are unique, often loners, docile, and smart. Enjoy the read!

The spark that lit a fire fourteen years ago as I encountered my first booner whitetail as a kid with a bow in hand.

A cool encounter on the drive in ends up being the same buck we kill that morning. So many things had to go right. The stars were aligned.

The buck that ended a hunt on the first sit of the first day here in 2016. One of my favorite memories to date. A once in a lifetime buck!

Robert (NY) and our first buck on the ground in Iowa as an outfitting operation. Robert hunted extremely hard for us, and it paid off!

Dinger - the 2018 story of this buck that gave us a good run for our money and almost lost. He disappeared in 2019. I'm hoping he's alive...

The giant killed in 2017 was purely based on luck, good people, generosity, and God. This buck will forever be a special story for me & MDL.

Part 2 of this story shows that time increases the odds, and that no matter what you see on camera, or don't see, you still have to go hunt.

Part 1 of this awesome story of the most ghostly deer we've ever hunted... He's a true master of avoidance. Period. Enjoy the read!

One heck of a morning in southern Iowa in 2018 created about 325 inches of bone viewed, but the big one slipped away unscathed.

Great friends, great clients, great men - my first two hunters to ever book with MDL, a father/son combo from the great state of Mississippi

The Ghost of 2016 in Southern Iowa - The first known 200" typical on an MDL farm. A prime example of a southern Iowa whitetail mega giant.
