About
Blood Brothers Outdoors
This site and our current video project came about several years ago (2003) as we realized the common bond we shared with our hunting practices. They weren't your everyday tactics you can read in any hunting magazine you pick up, yet we were consistently scoring on good bucks for each of our home areas. We had been bringing camcorders with us for years as scouting tools. We used the footage to review the bucks in our area and learn their patterns. One day we started to realize how much interesting, insightful footage we had accumulated, so we began to talk about putting out a series of videos that the average guy could relate to and actually learn from, improving his/her ability to score on good bucks in their hunting area.
We built this site in an effort to bring together other guys like us. It really is a brotherhood. As our wives will confirm, there is nothing other than the majestic slob whitetail that can bring a group of strangers so close.
SLOB (slob) n.
1.) A whitetail deer of magnificent stature, huge body, and/or rack of antlers. 2.) A trophy whitetail buck with an equally impressive body 3) An animal of massive size. 4.) Super Large Ornery Beast.
On any given day of the year, odds are good you will find one or all of us Blood Brothers doing something related to our addiction to slob whitetails, those bucks that just get in your head and keep you up at night. We don't do this for a living, but it's not a hobby. It's our way of life...A life addicted to whitetails and based on the following:
Rule #1 - There is no magic pixie dust when it comes to consistently hanging slob bucks on your wall.
Gimmicks and gadgets can get you that buck every now and then. Scents, calls, decoys, camouflage, bows, gear, etc. all may or may not have their place, and it's important to know when they may give you an edge, but the consistent success comes only through hard work, scouting, knowledge, persistence, and focus.
Rule #2 - Hunt where the slobs live.
No one can shoot a slob if he/she isn't hunting where a big buck lives. If we aren't hunting a slob, we're hunting for the next place we can find that slob. These days, great land is hard to come by, and most often it comes at a price. Occasionally, we offer leases and hunts to help offset our costs. If you already have a great place, cherish it (and give us a call!).
Rule #3 - Scout more than you hunt
Scout. Scout. Hunt. That's what we like to say. The guys that do it year after year do this. We're not interested in what a big buck is doing next week (until next week), and we don't care about what he did last week. We focus on what that big buck is doing NOW. Scouting is the only way to recognize that, and when you do recognize it, you must be able to act immediately. There is no "let this spot cool off and we'll come back later". By then it's too late.
Rule #4 - Be silent. Be mobile.
Proper scouting tactics require a hunter be ready to hang a stand and hunt at a moment's notice. High pressure areas of today often require us to hunt immediately adjacent to and often in big buck bedding areas so that we intercept daylight movement. Our setups must be silent and have the ability to shift locations quickly at a moment's notice.
