JR's biggest buck to date (well, he is only 13).

He was pumped. So was I.

Well, getting off the beaten path continues to pay off smile

The deer population really seems to have taken a hit since last year where we hunt. I think the winter and wolves are taking their toll. Anyways, myself, my dad, and my uncle hunted Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of opening weekend and none of us even saw a deer, or even fresh sign. It was like they all disappeard. There were a few old scrapes, but no rubs in any areas I sat, or still hunted through. Tuesday was just my dad and I, and I finally saw a doe and a mid-sized 8 pointer from my stand. I could have had both, but decided to let them go. They were fun to watch, she didn't want anything to do with him, and he was just grunting away at her. Wednesday morning I went back to the same spot and sat until noon and decided I needed to change my location. I hate to go back to camp in the middle of the day, but decided to go back, eat lunch, and clean up a bit. After that I headed up to a new area and found a bit more buck sign. Threw up a stand where I could see a deer trail just inside of the woods, and also could see out into a swamp along the river we hunt. 45 minutes later this buck came through. I didn't get a good look at his rack, but could see his body was huge. I knew he was a mature deer and shot just before he went into a bunch of thick brush, dropping him in his tracks. 4 days later when we finally got out of the woods, he dressed out at 240 pounds! No wonder he was so hard to drag to the river myself! What a great hunt. 3rd year in a row we haven't seen a single other hunter. My dad went 8 days without seeing a single deer, but still loved the trip!

Buck was shot at 1PM Saturday never took his nose off the ground was hot after a doe that must have come through earlier. Dressed at 203lbs. Shot in Carlton County. Second year in a row getting a 10pt wallhager after years of never even coming close to a trophy. I'm on a roll!!!
