Whitetail Freaks TV

Created and hosted by renown whitetail authorities and fan favorite television personalities Don & Kandi Kisky, Whitetail Freaks highlights every aspect of successful whitetail management and top-notch trophy hunting - from food plot planting to hanging treestands to tracking pre-season big buck movement to the selective harvesting of only the biggest, most mature whitetails. A group of dedicated whitetail fanatics capture the true meaning of mega-buck hunting. These hardcore hunters are average, “blue collar Joes” with real jobs and real families – and they all share the same passion: the study, management and harvesting of mature, trophy whitetails.
The Whitetail Freaks reward is measured by more than just antler length; every ounce of sweat equity they invest in their passion represents another part of the story – another chapter in the Whitetail Freaks saga. There’s always work to be done in the whitetail woods, and the “Freaks” are the first ones in the stand and the last ones out. When they roll up their sleeves and get to work, viewers can expect the most comprehensive, entertaining mix of heart-thumping big buck action and educational wildlife management tips and techniques. In Freak County it’s 100% pure venison, zero fat all the time. Tune in each week as Don & Kandi Kisky along with a crew of other whitetail addicts offer a year long look into what it means to be branded a “Whitetail Freak”.
The Whitetail Freaks crew currently utilizes equipment from Central Illinois Ag during their outdoor adventures.
The Crush with lee & tiffany

Being a farmer is a blessing. Without having a relative or close family member in the industry, it is not common to go to college hoping that someday you will become a farmer. Due to the demand for farmland and price of equipment, farming is usually a career that is passed down from generation to generation, but Lee and Tiffany Lakosky did not have that.
"Our story is one in a million: we had the opportunity to become farmers and can now pass this way of life on to our kids," said Lee Lakosky.
