My Dad took this deer opening morning. He's 92 years old!  Pretty proud of my old man.

After 6 years of trying to get a buck my best hunting buddy got one this morning. He was hot after a doe and she dropped him in his tracks. It was awesome.

TW, that shed looks familiar. grin

One of the guys I hunt with's step son is a photographer. He tagged along with us one day and shot a few deer, with his camera. Here's a couple cool shots.

One of the gals in our group shooting her first.

This one was kind of cool. We saw this guy a ways off, and ended up getting him. The guy tanking the picture said, "He turned his head and smiled at me, kind of laughed." Well, we got the last laugh. I'm not going to post the pic he took of me gutting him, but he's in the freezer now. This pic was taken aboot 1 second before a slug went into his boiler room. He didn't have a clue. I was in the thick stuff right to the left of him.

I got this guy on my annual canoe-in hunt in NE Minnesota. It was a great year as I saw 14 deer in 7 days of hunting, which is more than the last 4 years combined. This was the 5th buck I saw (after 53 hours shivering in my way-too-small climber stand) and, although he was not a giant, I decided to pull the trigger. Every time I look at his rack I'll think of "the year the river froze solid" which is another story altogether.

Lots of great deer, congrats to everyone!

Have to say I was thinking of you on Tuesday morning when I was freezing my butt off, wondered about your river.

Thanks purplefloyd. There is nicer looking bucks in the pics then this old guy. Not sarcasm. I don't shoot a lot of bucks and I don't know if this is a nice buck or not. The symmetries are not there as I am used to seeing but then the oddball lookers are sometimes neat to see as well. Great pics everyone and congrats. My highlight was my 12 year old got his first deer! A little three pointer! laugh

Shot this 10 point Brute from my oak ridge stand last Sunday, 11-10-13 at 2:15pm in the big woods of zone 197. 30-06 did the trick at 60 yds with one shot to the lungs/heart. He Grosses 148 6/8 and had 6 1/8 total deductions. Weighed in at 198lbs feild dressed.

I sat opener all day 6am till 6:30 pm (had a doe right under my stand from 5pm till way past light on sat - couldn't leave as I didn't want to spook her), then sat again Sunday from 6 till he came cruzing through at 2:15. Saw 2 does Saturday and 2 more mid morning on Sunday. Funny - I was standing up eating my 2nd (mid afternoon snack) - had a mouth full of pretzels when he came in / as I shot him. Had around 2,000 pictures from 7-17 to 10-5 from my camera in that spot - and he wasn't in a sinlge one of them. Safe to say he was looking for a girlfriend.

Wish I had some better pics but my camera's batteries were dead (go figure), and the only ones I have came via email from a smartphone. I'll post better pics of him when I get him back from taxidermist. Great mass throughout, 6 and 7 inch bladed brows, a 10 inch G2 and 8 inch G3 on right side. His left side was a bit curved in and each G2,G3,and G4 were a tad shorter on that side. Couldn't get my hand around his bases.

My pride and joy buck! Shot on Sunday morning. Was a very cool story, in my opinion! smile

I sat and watched a doe and a spike chase around for almost an hour right away in the morning. Took out a sandwich, because who doesn't eat while watching deer...that's when the real action starts, right? Two bites into my delicious cold salami sandwich the doe walked across the trail 80 yards away. Expecting to see little spiker following I continued to chew on my sandwich, waiting for his appearance. Low and behold the woods had a secret when this boy stepped out into view. I threw my sandwich down in a second had a shot fired off for the kill. I continued to finish my bite of sandwich as I waited out the dreaded "wait" after a shot. This 10 pointer was dead 20 yards from where I shot at him. I WAS and still am SO VERY EXCITED!!!

Thanks everyone!! It was a very cool hunt! I am so proud! Thank you thank you thank you!!! smile

What I love seeing is all of the pics with the kiddos and their deer. I think shooting a deer, respectfully and following ethics and laws, is so very important to teach them! Seeing the faces of these kids and their smiles is what makes it all so well worth it! Thank you to the parents that take the time to give up their own opportunity to hunt to get the kids out and teach them right. I, as a once young hunter, thank my parents for the opportunity and for teaching me what I know. If I did not have hunting, fishing and the outdoors; I wouldn't have anything!

I was wondering if Hot Spots Outdoors could do something with the kids's pics? Like a special kid section or something? Let them show off their pics and brag? Just a thought...either way, keep it up everyone! Love seeing the pics!

What a great post. You nailed it for so many of us. Most of us had someone to show us the way in this great outdoor passion we have. Passing it on is the only way it will survive for generations to come.

HSO already has a forum for kids, though I'm not sure it's exactly what you you're looking for. It's here:

Fisherchick you are right on! I had my 12 year old son with me this year again. While we didnt get a deer, we saw some and had some great stories to tell. I always consulted with him about our next "plan of action" so he could help and feel like he was making decisions. Then I would explain why x led to y which led to z. He is really picking it up, but in the day when electronic devices consume so much of their time it is hard to keep their attention during the "down time". It was very rewarding, but I still blame him (wink wink) for not looking the other direction when a doe came within 10 yards of me before I saw it while sitting on the ground (he was in the stand above me). Its a hilarious story we will share forever.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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

      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.

      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.
