White Knuckle Productions team members - and brothers Aaron and Jason DeHaan have basically been living the dream of any bowhunter over the last few days.
I got a call from Aaron DeHaan on Friday morning that they had just killed a buck they called El Diablo. I had seen the shed hunting footage, held the sheds, and just couldn"™t believe what they were telling me through the phone. I asked Aaron several times, "śdude, are you serious?"ť I told him that I simply couldn"™t handle the let-down if this was a joke.
Well, as you can see by the pictures, this is no-joke. Aaron smoked the buck at 23 yards, with his brother Jason in the tree filming. They have footage of three different encounters with the buck, including finding its sheds on-camera this past spring. I drove to Illinois to film the recovery - and what lay at the end of the blood trail was a pile of bone beyond our wildest dreams!
El Diablo will likely score near 200"ť - as his sheds scored nearly 210"ť last year. Enjoy the pictures - the complete story will be featured in our next video. They have some pretty incredible footage of this deer - wait until you see the video!

Are you serious? That's just beyond anything my bank account and/or my area of residence would ever let me kill. That is just insane hella big. Holy sweet mother.
