Is “Monster Bucks XV” the Best Ever?
10 Comments Published by David Blanton on Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 4:02 PM.
Folks are finally getting copies of the new “Monster Bucks XV” (both volumes) in their hands and we’re starting to hear feedback. Based on the early results, this could be the best overall Monster Bucks ever! There are a lot of avenues out there to get feedback from the hunters who watch new DVD’s, and one of the best ways is to visit any number of chat rooms, including Realtree.com's online community, and pick up the dialogue from there. Of course, companies in the hunting industry who produce hunting DVD’s realize that you’re never going to please everyone!
For example, last year we decided to leave off the annual archery competition (the one that features Michael, Bill, T-Bone, myself, pro-staff members, Jeff Foxworthy [as Willy], and so forth) because some of the feedback indicated that people were tired of the contest. Well, wouldn’t you know it, as soon as “Monster Bucks XIV” hit the shelves it seemed as if all we heard was, “Why didn’t ya’ll do the archery tournament again this year?” So you never know. But one thing that is certain (and it’s human nature), people tend to let you know what they don’t like as opposed to what they like.
So far, the favorites hunts on the DVD are:
1) Sloane and Sydney Reid’s hunt for the big Mississippi 8 pointer – Sloane misses, cries, Sydney dances, kills the buck and gloats!
2) Vicki Cianciarulo’s MONSTER 203” whitetail she takes with her bow and is completely overcome by emotion when she realizes what she’s done! No faking here!
3) My miss (on purpose of course!) of a huge Kansas buck with my bow. Disgusting!
Oh, the archery competition is back and in a way that you would never imagine! Even viewers who really didn’t care much for the more traditional bow and arrow tournaments in the past have admitted how much they’ve enjoyed a “different” type of contest!
Can’t wait to hear what you think, so make sure to post a comment and let me know.
Also, you don’t have to leave your house to get your DVD, just order it from the RealStore.

David,
Just finished Vol.1 and 2... Great Job ! Some awesome bucks taken in front of the Realtree camera .And I know you missed on purpose in Kansas , cause Ive done before myself. Looking forward to Nocked and Loaded.
The movies are awesome. The ladies done very well this year. Keep up the good work. God bless you.
P.S. Why do you think the big deer in Kansas tongue was hanging out like it was? I've never seen one chase a doe until it done that.

David, the MB vids are great this year. Seems like quite a few 120-130 deer made it. I am not trying to be controversial, but just bringing it up wondering how a 120 is "monster buck" status.
I love your vids, I love your work and congrats on all your sucess!

You guys man...heheh this year i think is the best ever! The bow shoot was very cool and funny. MB15 is great, keep it going guys :) Chuck- Michigan
Dear Mr. Blanton,
I love MB15, both volumes! Your right, the best ever!!!! The only thing I didnt like however, was how you couldnt fast foward past the adds at the begining of the videos. Its like we are forced to watch the same adds we've been seeing on previous MB series!
Keep up the good work!!

Where can I find Monster Bucks XV this early in the year. Yes, May is early. I usually don't see the first one in south Georgia until the end of July! I hat waiting for them to come out, and when they do, it usually takes forever because they fly off the shelves as soon as they come in. The Monster Bucks series is my favorite of all the hunting videos! But they are hard to come by! When do they start delivering them in the Albany, Ga. area? I got have 'em!
I don't ever see the new MB video/DVD's until late July or early August! I live in Albany, Ga. Wal-Mart is the only outlet that carries it and they hardly ever have them in the store. How are these other folks getting them so early in the year? MB is my favorite hunting series! I usually have to wait until mid to late summer to get one. That's way to late! Is there another way to get them as soon as they are available to the public?
David,
I have been an addicted Monster Bucks fan. I am like a kid in a candy store every year waiting for Monster Bucks to come out!
In my opinion, I think Monster Bucks 12 is my most favorite series.
I think Monster Bucks 15 was good overall. I liked the fact that there were quite a few women hunts. It is nice to get the women involved in any outdoor event.
On the other hand I thought there were alot of Texas hunts. I don't mind viewing the Texas hunts, but I thought this series was a bit overwhelming with the Texas hunts. I would like to see more midwestern hunts. It was nice to see Michael hunting in Indiana as a new spot. The Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky hunts are always a treat to view.
Overall good work on Monster Bucks 15!
David, Every year i wait for your video's to come out, and yes i was one of those who wondered where the archery tourney went to. You guys/girls at realtree have a job EVERYBODY would love to have. I can't wait to see Vol XV, if Vicki gets as emotional as Her husband we are really in for a show. Agian thanks for all ya'll do God Bless
