My Dad took this deer opening morning. He's 92 years old!  Pretty proud of my old man.

After 6 years of trying to get a buck my best hunting buddy got one this morning. He was hot after a doe and she dropped him in his tracks. It was awesome.

 Three of us on a long rope switching positions with one in the back to keep his antlers from snagging could only manage 10-15 yards before we needed to stop and catch our breath. We are all soaked from head to tail, falling into the mud and sweating our butts off. We finally get him back to the field edge and into the sled behind the ATV and we all collapse in celebration and I finally have the buck of my dreams!!

That is one Buck of a life time! We have found it a little better pulling them out if you have enough guys to use a pretty short rope or just by the antlers to get some of the body weight off the ground. Pulling one that big will always suk but dragging with a long rope seems to snag a lot more and getting around trees and dead falls with the full body weight and antlers digging in every where doesn't help much.

This one will be hard to match-ever!  You may as well stay in the cabin and be the camp cook from now on! :D

My brother shot this buck yesterday morning at 10 yards about 8:40am at my place.  I'd never seen him that I was aware of, often don't know what the deer eyes you see out in the hayfield at night belong to of course.  Have trail cams pics of some nice bucks at home, but nothing like this:

He shot it from the stand in the background right as it lays.  He heard something in the leaves behind him, turned & it was trotting down the mowed road at 20 yds.  He shot it 2 secs after seeing it.  13 scoreable pts, 202 lbs., inside spread's about 15 3/4's.  Longest tines are about 9" I believe.  We're approximating his green gross at 155.  He's getting it mounted, by far the biggest deer he's ever shot.

Decide to take the day off and hunt. Quarter past noon this guy comes walking out at the end of the clearing. 300 yards. I knew it was a buck, but was just concentrating on making the shot. Went about 40 yards. Oh boy did I get excited when I walked up to him. 13 points. Think l am still shaking.

Nice deer everyone. I was fortunate enough to take this nice 9 point 90 minutes into the WI season on Saturday. I saw him twice during bow season but couldn't make it happen. He came silently through the snow behind me to 30 yards, and went about 30 yards post-shot and expired in seconds. Back to the bow stand now!

Great Job.

Now I hate being a jerk about this and by no mean want to take away from the success, but I just have to comment.  

Look where the rifle barrel is pointing in this picture.  The three points ingrained in the 3 hunter ed classes I attended with each of my kids : Muzzle control, treat every gun as if it loaded, be sure of your target down range.

 

 

really cant a guy be proud without a smart comment i understand your point but hey lets point it out to the internet world man why make the point I'm sure he knows just an adjeneline pic

Plenty of MN deer hunters and other hunters in MN get hurt or killed because of "adrenaline".  I pass on many comments, but this one was too good a lesson for everyone.   I guess including yourself.

Slow down and remember safety does not get a break.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
