Though Herald spends many days each year in pursuit of trophy whitetail deer and loves the challenge, his favorite hunts are active. “Elk and turkey hunting are great because you can move, strategize and interact with the animals on their terms. I am also a diehard African hunter and love tracking and pursuing big animals in rough landscapes such as Cape buffalo, kudu and on my next hunt, elephant. ”

J.T. Kreager
I’ve been fortunate to hunt many states and provinces over the years. In planning my trips I found little unbiased information specific to hunting trips and travel, and there was no way for serious hunters to network and share experiences with each other. Lots of other hunters have told me the same thing. I decided to fix this problem and in 2009 launched NextHunt.com. We recently added another site to our network, Hunting Information Systems in May 2010, check it out at Huntinfo.com

Monster Buck Bowhunter
Adam Hays
Born and raised in Central Ohio, Adam Hays was destined to be a whitetail hunter. ” My father was a bowhunter, and when I was 4 years old he stuck a small fiberglass bow in my hands, 39 years later I’m still flinging arrows!” After graduating high school in 1985, Adam worked in the construction field for nearly 20 years before leaving a successful career with Columbia Gas, to work in the Hunting Industry full time.
Adam got his start as a freelance videographer for Wolf Creek Productions in the early 90’s, hunting and filming for the American Archer and Outdoor America. Adam then went on to work in production, spending two seasons producing “Hunting on the Horizon” for Skyline Camouflage, then went to work for Lone Wolf Treestands where he produced “Whitetail Addictions” for 4 years. In 2009, Adam landed a prestigious spot with ESPN legend Tom Miranda, and now works as a field producer for Dominant Bucks.

Whitetail Contributor
Joe Brooks
Joe Brooks lives in northwest Ohio and has been chasing whitetails along the Michigan-Ohio border for the past thirty years with hundreds of deer to his credit. Joe specializes in hunting giant whitetails in high pressure areas close to populated and hard-hunted suburban America. He is the author of a best selling deer hunting book titled “YEAR-ROUND TROPHY WHITETAILS”, which you can find at www.manvswhitetail.com .
Joe Brooks worked as a power company lineman for twenty years and for the past ten years at Cabela’s in Dundee Michigan. He has a degree in Wildlife Management, owns his own publishing company, started a clothing line called TOADWEAR, and is a leasing agent in Ohio and Michigan for Base Camp Leasing (www.basecampleasing.com).
When he is not hunting monster bucks he does seminars on whitetails, consulting on whitetail management for landowners and hunters, or is working for great causes like Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry. Joe is on pro-staff for Raven Wear, PSE Archery and Scentote.
Joe says “None of this would be possible without the support of my beautiful wife Pat. She gives me great latitude to spend the time chasing those elusive trophy whitetails, with never a complaint about the many hours I spend in a tree stand or helping others.” With that being said, what Joe enjoys most is when he can teach someone even just one little tactic that can help that person take his or her first, or next, giant whitetail buck.
