2010 Nations Outdoor Show

The Whackfactor Outdoors Show represented at the 2010 Nations Outdoor Show in Chantilly, Virginia this weekend. We had a great time and met a lot of great people! It was a great opportunity to interact with other hunting enthusiasts from around the nations capital, and we received a lot of good feedback on our first production, Breakout Adventures.

Late Season Long Bow Whackfactor!

Brian borrowed a long bow from his man love at SMECO, Rock, and has been practicing after work hoping to get comfortable enough to take it in the woods.... Brent and he took to the woods after a rabbit hunt to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday from work, and got to put his new skills to work!



With Brent behind the camera, Brian put the long bow whackfactor on a little doe quartering away at 15 yards, and watched her fall 40 yards away, with the Whackfactor Outdoors camera rolling! Good job Barefoot!

West River Duck Whack'n

The Whackfactor Outdoors team was very fortunate to be invited on an amazing river duck hunt at the mouth of the West River out of Shady Side, Maryland today with Ralph Yates. We can't thank Ralph enough for the hunt of a lifetime!

While Ralph cooked up a varying assortment of gourmet foods, like shrimp, grouper fillets flown in from South America the day before, crab cakes, oysters etc... The Whackfactor crew shot up a nice mixed bag of Ruddy ducks, Buffleheads, Bluebills, and Canvasbacks! We had a crazy good time and captured it all on film!


Check Out the trailer of the hunt below, and look for the full hunt on our next video production!

Whackfactor Fur Trapping 2010

Trevor and Robert took some much needed vacation time from work to do some fur trapping on the Eastern shore of Virginia. They caught a nice mixed bag of gray fox, red fox raccoon and otter. The fur market is in the toilet, so they might not break even on gas money spent running the trapline, but the good times and laughs earned were priceless! Already looking forward to next year!

Still doe whackin

Maryland has a late two day season, January 8th and 9th to allow further recreational opportunities for sportsmen, and further manage the states booming deer herds. The Whackfactor Outdoors team took full advantage of this extended season to manage the anterless deer populations on some of our agricultural properties. The deer have really been pounding the winter wheat fields and our food plots. Jeremy and Jesse set up on one of our clover and turnip food plots, and put the Whackfactor on a fat late season doe to fill the freezer! Good job Stinky!

Whackfactor Outdoors Late Muzzleloader Sika Slam 2009

The Whackfactor Outdoors team headed Accross the Chesapeake Bay for our annual late muzzleloader hunt on Maryland's Eastern Shore. We hunted public land, as we generally do. The weather was horrible but we made the best of it. Check out the 1/2 inch of ice on us and our gear!
Jesse:We hunted the first morning but had a tough time catching up with the wiley sika deer, With nosika sightings the first morning, we did a little scouting in some new areas and found some good sign. My camera man, Jeremy, and I set up for our evening hunt. We were overlooking a frag patch that was bordered by salt hay. In the past we had noticed that the deer were grazing on salt hay. We had high hopes for this spot, and soon spotted a nice 6 point stag about a hundred yards out in the marsh. I was able to get a good angle for the shot and dropped the stag in his tracks, making for an easy recovery. We got him loaded up in the boat and made the icy trip in to the boat ramp!
