Excerpts From Those Who've Been There...

"Of course, that (Collora) buck is only one of a bunch of bruisers Sam has taken in the gorgeous country near his hometown of Mount Pleasant. His trophy walls grown under the weight of many wonderful shoulder mounts; each are a testimony to the area's excellent deer herd and Sam's skill."

- Scott Bestial, October 2002 issue of North American Whitetail Magazine

"Everyone knows about the cabin. It is considered by both locals and non-residents as "Control Central" of deer hunting in southeast Iowa. Troops of eager-eyed hunters drift to the cabin each day during the deer season to tell or hear all the latest deer hunting news. Sam Collora built the cabin with his own hands on the picturesque banks of the Skunk River, and I dare say it is the deer hunting equivalent of the Statue of Liberty - and wants to see. I learned more about deer seen, missed and taken in a single day at Sam's cabin than I normally hear about in an entire hunting season anywhere else. The cabin has actually become a deer-hunting shrine - a place of hallowed tradition, not to mention a pipeline of essential information. Just being there was a source of great entertainment."

- Russell Thornberry, November 1999 issue of Buckmasters Magazine

"With numerous great trophies and experiences under his belt Mrs. Doe Pee's Buck Lures paving the way for scents and scent control products, what is next for Sam Collora? My guess is that Sam's future will include chasing whitetails and he will continue to consistently harvest mature bucks. Sam has made a habit out of it already as well as a great career as a whitetail fanatic!"
