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!!!

    • 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.
