HSO Deer Photo's


Recommended Posts

Jack, tell your buddy great buck! If he thinks 193, then let it be 193.

More pictures would be great to see of an awesome buck not because he has to defend a "score."

There are always others that will always try to find something wrong to detract from someone elses success. Who cares what they say.

Lets see the 9" spike! That is a world class spike. Much more impressive than that 9 pointer. smile

grin Only picture we have is of him hanging in the rafters, not the best photo for this site.......it was pretty cool as they were starting to curve forward.........

This 10 point came in following 2 does on opening morning. Went to gut the deer and much to my surprise, it had a female exterior.

Still had felt hanging on the both sides with the left side hanging downward. Both tips were still fully covered.

Deer of a lifetime for reasons already mentioned. Euro mount will be a good conversation piece......full-27589-3553-2010deerhuntwknd1(3).jpg

Yarn or string stretches and wont give you an accurate score. Just so you are aware.

You need to use something that doesnt stretch to score accurately. That buck is well over 130 for sure. But to get a semi accurate score, you need to find some light gauge wire/cable in order to not have the false stretch on the measuring line.

Has anyone ever made a trek like that, and woke up to frozen water? I was thinking about going up the gunflint and heading back in, but was concerned about the possibility of getting frozen in. The ice would be too thin to walk on, and perhaps too thick to paddle through. When is the earliest you guys get ice up there?

It happens. That's why Osthoff was trying to get an early BWCAW hunt to pass....but there's too much opposition. When we did it last year, we did have some shelf ice. This year, I couldn't go, but the boys battled through a 1/2" of ice one day. You need an alternate plan on an exit route in case you do get froze in.

Here is my eight from thursday the 11th. Shot in an Itasca county forest. Not exactly what I was gunning for, as this is my smallest buck to date but I'm happy. Was a slow year for big bucks in my area. I passed on this one a few days before and ended up taking him thinking it was a different deer. Saw a lot of spikes chasing,and both times I saw this deer he was not on does and in no hurry. Shot was quartering away at 40 yds with the .270 WSM. Went straight down. Off to hunt WI this weekend. Good luck all.
