Great Lakes Outdoors - Big Buck Nite

BIG BUCK NITE 1999!

The 11th annual Great Lakes Outdoors Big Buck Nite was another big success. Big being the key word! Over 30 of the state's largest racks and the hunters who took them were in attendance at the Lapeer County Sportsman's Club on Saturday, December 11th for the taping of three TV shows.The shows can be seen on Michigan PBS and through out Canada. You can check for times and dates below.

As always the stories were almost as tall and wide as some of the huge racks that were viewed!

A great time was had by all.

Susie and I would like to thank all of the hunters for attending. Many drove 3 or 4 hours just to get several minutes of glory on the show with Rob. Without the cooperation of the hunters of course this big buck nite wouldn't exist.

We would also like to thank the Lapeer County Sportsman's Club for again hosting the event for the 10th straight year.

CBM of course deserves a big round of applause for scoring all these big bucks and getting me the score sheets on time. By the way, Commemorative Bucks of Michigan has a brand new 5th edition Michigan Big Game Records book out and available. It lists all of Michigan's trophy deer, elk, bear and turkeys right through the 1998 season. Copies of the record book are available by calling CBM at 1-800-298-2825.

Also a special thanks to Kim Cunningham and Dee Hebert as well as Gary Ewell for again helping make this event one of our favorites of the whole year! Gary does a great job of teaming up with Susie for a smooth two camera operation to give you better angles of the big bucks.

As always there are many great stories, but none better than 76 year old Jack Eddy from Owosso. Jack again made the shows big buck nite for the 10th time in 11 years! He was sick in 1996 the only year he didn't take a record book buck.

Again this year Jack took two more monsters scoring 156.3T and 163.4N/T. Jack has 14 bucks listed in the Michigan record, more than any one else as far as I know. Jack is a master hunter and can tell you things about each buck he corners! This man knows each big buck intimately and knows when they eat, sleep and go to the bathroom! Watch for Jack on show 3.
