HSO Deer Photo's


Recommended Posts

Nice deer everyone. I have yet to see a buck older than 1.5 yrs so I have been holding out for a mature buck. But today I did something that brought me a huge smile. I took my friends 10 yr old son out to my stand. It was his first hunt with his own tag. He shot at a nice doe and nailed it. Perfect double lung shot at 40 yrds. It was awesome to be a part of that! Good luck to everyone still hunting. I know I will be out there waiting for the big one!

The youngest of our 3 boys decided he was ready to deer hunt this year. Has been and still is the computer wizz of the family so the outdoors never appealed to him. But I think hes got the bug now! I was able to experience it all with him side by side. He spotted the does first and this guy trailing them for a broad side shot at 70 yards. He also was the one who blood trailed it with very little guidance by me (except to say he needed to slow down) he was way excited!. Not a bad start for a first deer.

The "Arola Gang" did well again on opening day, hunting north of Nashwauk, where they have been harvesting deer for decades. On the right is "master hunter" Don Arola (age 81), of Nashwauk. In the middle is his son David and on the left his grandson Rob, both from Pine City. Don started deer hunting in 1940, after the Armistice Day blizzard, and recalls the snow was up to his waist! Way to go guys. Nice job! full-130-3427-scan0001.jpg

Great photos, everyone! I'll be hitting a buddy's deer shack near Bovey for a couple days, and these have me even MORE inspired! gringrin

Greg, love to see the history in that photograph. Our American culture too often pushes old people into obscurity instead of relishing their rich experience and perspective. Great to see the grand old man Arola is still passing on lore to later generations. smile

Congrats all.

I really enjoy all the photos.

Keep them coming.

I posted this in the Duluth forum but it should be here.

Morning was windy with light snow but Jr got it done before the snow stated to come down hard.

A doe came in at around 9AM.

One great shot from Jr and she was done.

Jr was pumped and ready to climb down.

Whoa Son, she came in nervous just wait a while.

Two minutes later a fork buck on her trail.

Up till this point he has passed on a lot of small bucks. full-831-3337-dad&frankdeer.jpg

One great shot and he was down too.

After visiting both deer and some quick pics Jr started is first field dressing. A little coaching and not a bean nor leak was shed.

Same went for dressing job #2.

Registered the deer and was back home at 11:AM

A great end to the 2010 Whitetail Hunt.

My dad got the big boy we picked up on the trail cam before season. My dad's biggest buck thus far. 10pts and dressed at 187. Was heading into the swamp before he hit the grunt call, came in on a string broadside at 30 yds. He is definitely a believer in the grunt call now!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
