Hal and Joe have the pleasure of hosting one of the best whitetail deer trackers we know, Rick Labbe. Hal, Joe and Rick compare notes and shares tips and tactics while they tell stories about bucks they have killed over the years. Rick has one of the most impressive walls of trophy whitetails we know of. Many are killed in New England, specifically in Maine, where it has been reported to be one of the hardest places to kill a mature big woods buck.

We are also proud to announce our decision to partner with onX Maps. This partnership falls right in the wheelhouse of an extremely important component of bigwoods hunting, navigation. Go to on onxmaps.com and enter discount code bwb for 20% discount.

This podcast is easy to describe as the podcast crew helps with one of the more important points while tracking a buck. It is a point in the hunt that many struggle with.

We find that sharing experiences help people prepare for what they might encounter next fall.

Our team introduction series helps us share reasons why we chose some of the team members. Jim Bernardin has hunted the big woods longer than anyone on the team. He experienced the hay day back in the 60’s when there were lots of deer in the North Maine Woods. They reminisce about those times and compare tactics used back then with those today. You might notice some similarities if you pay close attention. Jim brings a wealth of knowledge to the team as an accomplished big woods hunter and guide.

We continue our series on introducing team members in this episode. Logan began following Hal several years ago and committed many details to memory. Over the last several years he has put them to good use in the North Maine Woods. He shares, in detail, 2 hunts on consecutive years:

• 10 pointer that dressed at 239 lbs.
• 9 pointer that dressed at 248 lbs.

As promised we continue our series on introducing team members in this episode. It is important for us to emphasize the qualifications of our team members and although not all the team have been guides many have made a significant portion of their income as guides. Mike Stevens has been a Master Maine Guide for decades is one of the original guides working for Hal back in the middle 90’s. He has helped countless clients take trophy animals from deer to moose to bear to turkeys. We would be remiss to leave out his prowess on upland game as well. At times this episode is comical but they don’t hold back in sharing some of the adventures they shared with many of their clients as well as BWB team members.

It is important for us to emphasize the qualifications of our team members and although not all the team are guides many have made a significant portion of their income as guides.

Our goal over the next few podcasts is to introduce you to the team members, so we are going to start off with Kevin Harrison. Most of this podcast is sharing stories or memories. To say the least, it is going to be entertaining but over time we have also realized the stories have significant teaching value. Kev and the guys discuss how to connect the dots to make things happen while tracking a big woods buck. Making things happen is a direct result of confidence they have developed spending a significant amount of time tracking bucks and learning their habits. The end result is they prove the reward for all that experience which is being able to unlock the mysteries of how these bucks live and answer some of the doubts most hunters have about how they just disappear.

Decades of guiding experience provide real hunting experiences which help to form opinions on favorite guns, ammo and practices. There is plenty of back and forth banter about the subjects listed as Hal Joe & Lee trade client stories as well as personal experiences. We invite you to provide feedback at this link: https://www.bigwoodsbucks.com/Contact. The BWB Hunting Club has in-depth articles, short films and technical tips but equally important is the member forum which gives you the opportunity to talk about deer hunting amongst yourself or engage with Hal or our team member. – Join Today

Big Woods hunting requires preparation, knowledge/experience and the right clothing and gear. We created the Big Woods Bucks System to address all of what we have identified as crucial ingredients to consistent success. We have 3 pillars in the Big Woods Bucks Systems. They are clothing, gear and knowledge. In this episode Hal, Joe and Lee will share experiences from years of woods time as well as decades of guiding experience that have helped them conclude what clothing and gear serves the big woods hunter best. Their recommendations help hunters both novice and experienced spend the time needed hunting while dealing with whatever weather mother nature can throw at them.

Hal, Joe, Lee and Chris discuss in depth vital trophy moose hunting techniques that sometimes parallel what they use to consistently kill big woods bucks. 2018 was very successful for their clients so they decided to share their experiences with the hopes it will help you with skills sets you can use while hunting this fall. The bottom line is hunting skill sets can be utilized no matter what species you are in pursuit of. Woodsman skills are critical to your success and that is why the BWB team constantly share their adventures. Our goal is to help you experience what we have been able to enjoy for many years.

After speaking with literally thousands of fellow hunters we have identified a few skill sets the vast majority of hunters struggle with. Navigation is the single biggest skill set that can help set you free to roam around the big woods. If you are constantly wondering where you are, your focus on tracking that big buck will be derailed. You need your full attention on reading the woods and interpreting what the buck is doing on his mission. We will discuss tools such as map, compass and the GPS and share a story or two of guiding clients and having a few laughs as we look back at some experiences that left us scratching our heads.
