Growing up in north central Wisconsin, Steve Peters began his
hunting career at an early age
pursuing small game animals, such as squirrels, rabbits and raccoons.
Later
he moved on to white-tailed deer alongside his grandfather at a typical
Wisconsin Deer Camp. However, by his 16th birthday, it was the
allure
and challenge of hunting with archery equipment that captured his
heart.
Steve took a handsome 3-point buck on opening weekend of his first bow
season and a die hard bowhunter was born. With 20 years of bowhunting
under his belt, Steve will share his hunting exploits, advice and
bowhunting experience with us. A self-proclaimed whitetail
fanatic, his articles will focus primarily on deer hunting with an
emphasis on the study and pursuit of trophy bucks. Steve
currently resides in Springfield, Missouri with his wife, Michelle.

Chasin’ Trophy Whitetails ‘05
By Steve Peters
The thought of chasing trophy whitetails with archery
equipment in multiple states during the same season has always been a
smoldering ember of excitement and desire for me. Now, that ember has
suddenly turned into a raging inferno as the days of summer grow shorter and
the opening of bow season draws near.
This fall I have the good fortune of hunting with an
up-and-coming outfitter who consistently produces monster deer for his
clients.I will also be bowhunting
Nebraska, The Cornhusker State, on my own.Logging over four thousand highway miles, I will have spent countless
hours scouting, hanging stands, and documenting my experiences in preparation
for the upcoming season.
My travels will take me to a huge parcel of outfitted land
in north Missouri and a deer-rich section of private ground in southeastern
Nebraska.As big buck areas go, it
doesn’t get much better. And, the best part of it all is that I’ll be
taking you along for the ride through Bowhunting.Net’s Online Hunts.
My objective is to hunt in both areas as many times as I
can throughout the season to provide the best coverage possible.
Bowhunting.Net will post periodic recaps of my progress with text and
pictures. So please feel free to tag along! Your invitation, as
they say, is in the mail -- E-mail that is.
God willing, it should be an awesome fall.
