Stack-On Products Company Announces Sponsorship with Buck Commander.

Wauconda, Illinois – June 9, 2010 - Stack-On Products Company announced today that they have signed a one year sponsorship agreement with Buck Commander. Buck Commander is a fascinating hybrid between compelling, reality, character-driven television and heart-pumping hunting action. Outdoor Channel viewers flock to see the wild antics, pranks and spur-of-the-moment events of this group led by the Buck Commander, Willie Robertson, of Duck Commander fame, and composed of Major League Baseball players Chipper Jones, Ryan Langerhans, Adam LaRoche, Tom Martin and Matt Duff. Hunting enthusiasts and sports fans will get an inside-look at the on and off the field lives and personalities of these sports figures.

“Stack-On’s product line of security cabinets and safes is a natural product fit with Buck Commander” said Shelley Nehrt, director of marketing for Stack-On Products Co. “Much like Buck Commander, which reaches out to the hunters who get out into the field, get dirty and enjoy the hunt, Stack-On’s safes and security cabinets offer the features and price points that provide a great value and security for the dedicated sportsman.”

Buck Commander can be seen on the Outdoor Channel with the first airing on July 3rd 2010 at 7:30 pm EST. Buck Commander will showcase character-development throughout the year. Three huge hunting trips are scheduled throughout the year one at Chipper’s ranch, LaRoche’s ranch and Duff’s lease. Besides these 3 main trips, there are numerous side trips to Oklahoma and Illinois with some of the guy’s road tripping between spots.

Hey Everybody,

Hope ya’ll had a great season!  Buck Commander had an AWESOME season and we are now editing Buck Commander 3: “Welcome to the Bigs”!!!

Just to give you a summary of our season we have filmed 25+ kills in 6 states this year!  We killed 2 bucks over 180″, and 10 bucks scoring over 150″+!!!  We aren’t just about the score of the racks, we also killed a few hundred bowls worth of doe chili as well! haha.  Luke Bryan brought along country sensation Jason Aldean to do a little deer hunting in between shows! We also have a Buck Commandress this year, Mrs. Sharon Jones (Chipper’s wife)!  Like always we captured some insanely funny moments that you’ll only see on a Buck Commander DVD!  So get ready for “The Bigs”!  (Coming in late May/June 2010)

We also have a TV show in the works to air this summer (July 2010) on the Outdoor Channel!  The show will be called “Buck Commander: Protected by Under Armour”.  We will announce our other commercial partners later.  Watch the trailer here!

A lot of great things are happening fast for us and we want to thank each one of you for supporting us along the way!

The sad part of blog comes next.  If you have followed the BC series then you may remember the buck that Chipper missed on Buck Commander 2… We called him the Chaparosa buck and we have not seen him since the day that Chipper missed him, until now….Chipper’s foreman Anthony called with some news that they had found Chaparosa’s skull.  He died sometime this season without ever being seen…. We aren’t quite sure what killed him and in that part of the country a number of things could have happened.  But we do have a picture for you guys to see!  We finally got him, may not be the way we wanted to but here is the Chaparosa buck from Buck Commander 2.

Keep checking back for updates on Buck Commander!  We have so many things going on, new products coming out and much much more!

Oh and be sure to catch us at the National race in Daytona this Saturday Feb. 13th on ESPN!  We teamed up with Bad Boy Buggies and Under Armour to sponsor the #40 Nascar with Mike Bliss as the driver! Pretty cool huh?!? There is a HUGE Buck Commander logo on the hood!

God Bless and have a great spring,

Jordan

It all started with my wife hosting a surprise 30th birthday for me where she flew in all my closest friends along with the BC crew.  My wife, brother and Willie took my old 1984 Surburban (and with a lot of help from Skyjacker) they turned it into a NEW truck!  It was the best present I could ever get!  The party was unforgettable!  Now it was time for the BC crew to hunt for the next week!

Jason Aldean and Kevin Weldon were kind enough to kick off our E3 hunt with a concert the first evening.  Be sure and check out the footage of Willie in front of 8,000 screaming fans introuducing Aldean….pretty funny!

Chip came to hunt a few days before the party and ended up stealing the show with a quick 165″ buck! It didn’t come easy, he spent 8 hours in the tree before he saw the first deer.  He rode the hole and put a GIANT on the ground! Not many days after that, Chip killed another GIANT 8 point that we’d been after for a while.  Not even 2 days into the hunt and Chip was leading the pack!

Our newest Buckman, Tom Martin also smoked a HUGE 8 pointer for his biggest bow kill to date, and his first kill with the BC bow!

I had a few encounters myself that week with a 180″ buck I call “Big Boy” that I was determined to hunt after receiving several trail cam pics of him before season.

Other than the BC boys loosing a much talked about volleyball game to a local girls team, everything was GREAT!

I wish I could tell you how many people were in camp that week….I”m guessing around 30,  we had tons of people in and out all week!  Oh well, the more the better!  The bucks were just a bonus!  We are now getting ready for our group hunt in Brady in about 2 weeks!  Until then, good luck and remember, it’s NOVEMBER so get in the woods!

ADAM

PS.  Oh yeah,  that buck I call “Big Boy”….he’s dead!  I killed him on the way to my stand the week after the group hunt!  We had to put a stalk on him and the first kill of 2009 for myself is in the books! Not a lot of time for details,  I’m headed to the stand so here are some pics!

Hey guys,

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Jordan Summitt and I am the Video Production Manager for Buck Commander.  I am also Chipper’s requested cameraman (you’ll need to know this later for the story I’m about to tell you.)

I enjoy filming all of the Buckmen but when baseball season ends,  my job is to be in the tree with Chipper whenever and wherever he decides to go!  Well baseball season had just ended and I had just heard from Chip that we would be headed down to his ranch soon but no word on when.  So I planned a trip up to Nebraska with Duff to a new place he just got there…

I drove up to Nebraska via Little Rock, AR where I met the newest member of the Buck Commander Production team, Hunter Jobes,  who also plays baseball for Duff in San Angelo, Texas.  Hunter had used a camera a few times but really wanted to learn more.  So we thought this trip would be a good one for him to “learn the ropes” of filming for BC.  So the journey began….

Not 8 hours down the road I get a call from my wife that I had forgot my scent tote (which had every bit of my Under Armour clothing in it)…..I know what you are thinking,  how can you forget your hunting clothes Jordan?!?! It still makes me sick to this day thinking about it.  Duff said I could wear some of his gear so I pushed on forward to Nebraska!

15 hours later we arrived in Nebraska to be greeted by Duff.  We got up the next morning,  did some scouting,  hung some sets and planned for the next morning hunt!  We hunted that next morning and didn’t see a single buck thanks to Farmer Joe who decided it was the perfect time to cut his alfalfa field.  As soon as we got off the stand,  I got a call from Chip explaining that he decided to move our trip to  Texas up to this week!!!  And in order for me to get there on time I had to leave the following morning,  so my Nebraska trip got cut a little short with Duff.  Thank goodness we brought Hunter Jobes to help with the filming!   So I packed what gear I had and told my wife to send me some clothes to Chippers ranch because I knew that his stuff wouldn’t fit. haha!  I left Duff and Hunter the next morning and headed to Carrizo Springs, TX to hunt with Chip for the next few days.

I drove another 13 hours to meet up with Chipper….We had a few bucks that we had our eyes on from last year.  Our main target….Chaparosa (for those of you who don’t remember,  Chaparosa was a 170+ buck that Chipper missed on BC2 DVD).  We were hoping to see him this year and get another shot at him to finish the story of the chase of this elusive whitetail.  After talking to some of the ranch hands and doing some scouting of our own, we were afraid that this buck may have died of old age or had changed locations on us.  We decided to wait and hunt him when we got the right wind so that left open a few other spots to hunt on the ranch.  We went out the first morning to a spot Chip calls the Triple S,  (Super Secret Spot). It’s a great spot where the deer funnel from bedding to feed every day.  We hunted that stand the first morning until about 9 o’clock….we literally were packing up our gear and getting down when Chip spotted a BIG 9 come out of the brush.  It took some shuffling but we were able to get a shot on him and Chip killed his first buck of 2009-2010 season!

Later that night we got a call from Duff with news of a 160″ Nebraska buck he put down thanks to the Buck Commander bow!  The first question that comes to mind when you hear news like this in Buck Commander is “how was the footage?”.  Duff said Hunter did a great job and it looked great!  Once again, THANK GOODNESS WE BROUGHT HUNTER! This was Duff’s biggest buck with a bow and his first buck in Nebraska!  So congrats to Duff! And congrats to Hunter for his first kill on camera!

We had a great time that week at the ranch, killed a few cull bucks and got the stands and setups ready for our group hunt in December.  Between forgetting my Under Armour and driving about 40+ hours total I still had a great time, and  I would do it all over again!

Here are some pics of the guy’s bucks from this week and stay tuned for the blog on our group hunt at LaRoche’s,  we had a great week with 3 big midwest bucks down on the ground!

I just dropped Pete Angle of Under Armour off at the Oklahoma City Airport yesterday after a great week of bow hunting and good times in Northwestern Oklahoma.  Jordy and I left a few days before opening day of the Oklahoma archery season to meet up with my good friend and host of Buckventures Outdoor TV show, Jeff Danker to do some scouting at his ranch he calls the River Mesa.  We spent several days scouting and watching deer from atop a mesa that overlooked some huge alfalfa fields so we could put a plan together for opening day.  We saw hundreds of deer each day and by the time Pete arrived, we had several nice, mature bucks located.  Danker and I went in mid-day and hung several “sets” in places we felt like we could get bow shots at some of the nice bucks we had pin-pointed, so all that was left now, was to get our gear ready and be in the stands an hour before daylight on opening morning!

Our first day of hunting was uneventful to a certain extent.  Although we saw a few bucks, the high winds and warm weather had the mature bucks layed up, but it was great to be back in the stand again after such a long spring and summer.  As night fell, so came with it a cold front and as Jordan & I got set up the next morning, we found ourselves in prime conditions with the temperature having dropped to 38 degrees and the winds almost non-existent.  Jordan prompted me once there was enough camera light to give an intro to the hunt and as I was talking to Jordan about our setup, I look across the river and see several nice bucks on the opposite bank getting ready to hopefully head in our direction.  A couple of small bucks ventured across first and right behind them was a beautiful looking 10pt.  As they worked closer I was able to see that the 10pt was a younger deer, probably a 3 year old, so I made a decision to pass on him.  No sooner than Jordan filmed the 10pt for a few mins, I see a big bodied, mature 9pt walking across the river on the same trail as the deer that had just been in bow range of us for the past 15 minutes.  As if the buck had “read the script”, he walked right towards us and got to within 30 yards.  Once Jordy whispered to me that he was on him with the camera, I drew back, stopped the 9pt and let one fly!  Immediately, I knew I had hit him a lil higher and back than I would have liked, but a lethal shot nonetheless!  Jordan and I both were fired up as it was our first “kill on camera” together, but just to make sure we didn’t try and recover the deer immediately and so we climbed down to go tell Jeff and Pete what we had done and see if they had any luck that morning.  Jeff and Pete didn’t get anything, so all attention turned to my encounter that morning and after we ate some lunch, Jeff, Jordy and I went out to see if we could recover my buck.  We didn’t find much blood and actually lost blood after 150 yards or so and couldn’t find him the rest of the afternoon.  The country up in Northwestern Oklahoma is pretty tough and it’s really difficult finding blood, so we had to wait and hope that the coyotes or buzzards would help us locate where the buck had expired.

A day went by with no luck and then on the second afternoon after I had shot, Mikey Miller (BC cameraman) spotted a large group of buzzards circling in the vicinity of where we had last found blood!  We decided we would hunt the next morning and then go try and locate my buck.  The next morning was uneventful for Jordy and myself, but Jeff and his cameraman Brandon Adams smacked an awesome 10pt so everybody celebrated and helped Jeff recover his buck.  After taking some pics with Jeff’s deer and watching footage of his kill back at camp, Jeff and Brandon along with Mikey went into town to check his buck in and Pete, Jordy and I went out in search of my buck.  As we got over to where I had last found blood the day I shot, we began looking where we had last seen the buzzards circling and less than 5 minutes of looking had gone by when Pete hollers to me that we found him!  I couldn’t believe it, the buck hadn’t was only about 50 yards from where we had last found blood the day I shot.  The carcass was pretty much gone and I’m sure was ample bounty for the coyotes and buzzards, but the  rack was still in pristine shape and I was one happy hunter!  Pete ended up heading back to Baltimore with a tag still in his pocket, but we all had a great time in and around camp and seeing Jeff and Brandon for the first time in quite awhile was great as well.  All in all it was an awesome opening week at Jeff’s place in Oklahoma! I can’t wait to get back someday soon and hunt the River Mesa.

Now I’ll be heading up even farther to the Northwest in Oklahoma to meet Chipper and Rochey at their new ranch.  I’ll scout a couple of days before they arrive and then I’m sure those boys after a full season of baseball are itching to get in a deer stand!  I’m looking forward to seeing them, and I’m confident that they both will get a couple of nice bucks next week!

Here are some pics from our week in NW Oklahoma!
