Dan Perez
Dan Perez, of famous Pike County, Illinois, has bowhunted whitetail deer since he was old enough to draw a 40 lb. bow. Since then, he’s harvested in excess of 350 whitetail deer. Over the past thirty years Dan has focused his attention on exclusively bowhunting mature trophy bucks.
This Specialization has earned him 50 bucks that exceed Pope and Young’s qualifications. Exclusively hunting these old monarchs has provided him a much greater opportunity to study and refine his proficiency as a big buck predator. Hence, all the information Dan conveys on Whitetail Properties TV as well as during his seminars, book and magazine interviews and bowhunting DVDs have been learned firsthand. This intimate relationship Dan has with big buck habitat has provided the basis for his new seminars, “First Time In” and “Holding, Growing and Hunting Big Bucks on a Small Tract”. These two seminars elucidate how to successfully hunt big old bucks in highly pressured areas.
Dan has spent the greatest part of his life pursuing trophy animals with a stick and string and introducing people of all ages to bowhunting and the great outdoors. Back in the nineties Dan was a very prolific outdoor writer, his pen often appeared in “Bowhunter,” “Bow & Arrow Hunting,” and “Bowhunting World,” to name a few. For over 17 years he was the Midwest regional Sales Manager for Precision Shooting Equipment. This lifelong romance with the outdoors led him to an even deeper relationship with every aspect of God’s Country: dirt, trees, leaves, water, production land and wildlife.
Today Dan co-owns and brokers Whitetail Trophy Properties Real Estate, specializing in hunting properties and farm land in the great states of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska Kentucky and Oklahoma. Along with this Dan is the co-owner and host of the remarkably popular program, Whitetail Properties TV. You can reach Dan at dan@whitetailproperties.tv.
