Some nice deer!!

[CANOPY SAM]

bmp78. Did that horse come from Wells County by any chance? I shot one almost identical to that deer out there 3 years ago. Nearly the same antler symmetry, and score!

It's a sleeper state! Really beautiful deer everyone. Nice to see the kids in pics as well!

[CANOPY SAM]

Not sure about the score, Surewood. But he sure is a dandy old buck! Love the junk he's carrying. And no, not that "junk". Nice character in that rack, and the dark brown cap!

Lots of really good bucks showing up. Leave me one for muzzy season, huh?

This deer came out of the 3E2 area. We have not seen one like this before on the farm given the spread and tine length. The spread on the deer was 22 1/2 inches and had one tine on the left beam broken off (about 11 inches long). How has your hunt been going this year?

Wifes 1st buck. 5 pointer. Her season ended 10 minutes after it started.

See how easy Deer hunting is Honey! Good for her!

Here's a better pic without me in it. Plus a bonus one of the weasels home, aka where my stand was.

[Tator2k]

Yes I was told about 100 times to get it mounted with the tongue sticking out.

[NoWiser]

Iceman,

That must have been somebody else with the same tent. We are about 2 miles from the nearest road.

Iceman 16 are you talking about the 200 RD off the echo trail??

In the last two months I was able to get my very "city" wife, hunter safety certified, a new shotgun to fit her, not afraid to fire the new shotgun after a few trips to the range, and now I'm pretty sure I've achieved my goal of getting her hooked on hunting!!

You know what that means?? Yup, more time in the woods for me!

We went back to my home town area for MN opener last weekend, and were lucky enough to see deer (very surprising).We were in the double bull blind 1.5 hrs before legal shooting light because I knew the hunters on surrounding properties would be rolling in at first light and bumping deer around. Sure enough I was right. About 10 minutes before legal shooting we could make out 2 deer within 20 yds of the blind. I think I was more nervous/excited than she was. This buck, and a doe never moved for 10 minutes. As soon as legal light was upon us, my wife put the cross hairs on this 5 point. Dropped in his tracks!

I ended up passing on a spike and a few does all before 0900 Saturday. Heading back for 1 more day of hunting Saturday, then an all day sit in southern Iowa on Sunday.

[HooknHorns]

Great accomplishment for both of you. Congrats.

[mabr]

Dag thats great, I love seeing woman hunting, give a big ole congats to her for a job well done.

Iowa, I just got back from a 3 day bow hunt in the central part of the state. Man are the little guys running hard right now! No less than 5 buck in every set, morning and night, with 1 a little shy of a shooter high 130s.Big boys werent running them suit yet, Should be good this weekend into next week.

[DanOmite19]

Was able to get this guy this morning at 8. Had him running in with the rattle bag. Was really hoping to take him by bow, but knew if I passed on him I probably wouldn't get another chance... By far the most typical deer Ive shot. Biggest difference between either side was barely 1/2". Grossed 141 7/8".

[brassman]

shot this little guy at exactly 1 pm today, I was about to fall asleep since I had just ate lunch. I just happened to look south down an opening and saw a rump disappear into a cluster of pines. I get the binos up and don't see anything, looked my just my eyes and saw a shadow through the clear cut and see that there were antlers attached. Game time! bleated twice with my can call and he came grunting in. One 70 yard shot anchored him for good. Not my biggest but my trigger finger had a nasty itch.

mine sunday night 5 pm

[pike doctor]

Here is the buck I got last Sunday morning. Big ten pt. I am still shakin. He is almost perfectly symmetrical. 34 inches around his neck. Weighed in at 205 lbs Tuesday afternoon when we got him home (minus the terderlions.) The taxidermist said somewhere just shy of 160. First time I have been hunting in a couple years, and I took him with my brand new 308. Absolutely hammered some nice crappies too. Only my fourth deer ever. One of the other ones was a really big nine. One of the best weekends of my life. I love having the horseshoe once in a while!!

PS, he had about 100 lbs of pine and sap between his antlers after I dropped him. I think he may have just rubbed down an 80 ft tall pine. Sorry I dont have a picture from the field, the guys with the camera are still hunting and my little helper wanted to get some pics before the taxidermist. She has been braggin at school.

[DHost21]

Thats a beast Pike Doctor!! I love the color of the antlers and nice mass!

[archerystud]

Here is the buck my dad shot on Friday evening.

[Nilsfisher]

Nice deer everyone. There are some nice monster bucks in there.

I got this guy Opener morning right at legal time. Smaller rack but big body.

about a 15 yard shot.
