John Wootters

"Mr. Whitetail"

Trophy Bucks

A seasoned hunter with a wise vision of whitetail management that shows that an ordinary deer hunter may never even see a trophy buck, but a trophy hunter is a good hunter period.

I hunt hard, goes the refrain, and I'm a good hunter. I see plenty of deer. I get my share. But somehow I never find a really big one. Just one real trophy is all I ask; we like the venison, but how I'd like to hang just one honest-to-gosh monster on the wall! But I just can't seem to get lucky.
