Pivot In-Season to Find Your Target Buck

  • Summary

  • Drake Deerman is a humble killer from the great state of Alabama. He travels the southeast and the midwest chasing giant whitetails and is pretty darn good at it. I usually write up a bio and summary but I think Drake’s Instagram post sums this story up pretty well. We dive deep into how the whole thing went down and there are a lot of great lessons to learn here. Enjoy


    “Words can never truly describe the roller coaster of emotions that led to harvesting, and putting my hands on this deer.


    Nine days sleeping in my truck, losing my #1 shooter, which would have been the biggest deer of my life, leading to a four day search for him that turned out to nothing. I decided to start over and drop everything I knew about this property and start completely fresh searching for a new deer. This is the hardest pressured public land I’ve ever hunted, and after two days of daylight to dark relentlessly searching I found this buck.

    Two more days of watching him, having him within bow range twice with no shot opportunity, passing on his running buddy three times which would have been the biggest buck of my life, all came down to a 64 yard shot when he stood up out of his bed.

    This is the hardest hunt I’ve ever been on, the hardest earned deer I’ve ever killed. Every high, low, happiness and heartbreak went into this. Everything I had. And I am beyond humbled, thankful, and blessed to put my hands on this once in a lifetime animal. So many prayers went into this.”


    Final score: 166 3/8” - Drake Deerman Sept. 13, 2024
