Nice deer Stratos. Yes, I've had great luck with that same call combo several times over the years. Anyone not carrying these around the rut is really missing out on a great opportunity.

I scored a 8 pointer while out with the muzzleloader on Tuesday. Biggest buck I have ever shot so I am pretty happy. full-2507-39921-img_20131203_150747.jpg

That's awesome. Snow and now bitter cold has put an end to my season. That's okay though, Im happy with the way rifle went.

Well I was lucky enough to get selected for the Camp Ripley deployed muzzleloader hunt. So I got up there on Monday morning and had our little in brief and picked an area to hunt. I chose an area on the west side between the two inpact areas. Did not see anything that evening until late and although it was legal shooting hours it was very dark and my sights were loaded with snow. Went back out the next morning and sat in the same area were I had seen her. Was about 10 minutes after shooting hours came and a doe came across the field. She stopped about 85 yeards out and broadside. I put one right in the boiler room,she went about 75 yards and expired. I took her in and she ended up weighing 118 lbs.

The afternoon a friend and I decided to hunt further south in the same area. We pulled in and he sat on the south edge of a tree line were we saw a lot of sign. I started moving north looking for a place to sit. I checked what looked to be an old gravel pit and nothing was in there. As I moved closer to the tree line I see a buck feeding in the woods. I was able to sneak around were I could get a clear shot at him. He kept feeding moving closer. After what seemed like hours (more like 5 minutes) he was out about 80 yards and broadside. I took the shot and he dropped like a rock. So I reloaded quickly and slowly walked down to him. He was still kicking and breathing a little, I had pulled my shot slightly to the right and hit him in the neck / upper chest, I stayed about 5 yards away and waited for him to expire. It did not take long and I was able to get my grubby mits on him!!

2013 SD Season- No monsters but a good season none the less. Glad it's over so I can move on to coyotes!

Archery East River Buck- kind of a bad picture. I had to sneak out of work to find it the next day.

West River Rifle- This was an awesome hunt for me! Shot on public ground. Took 6 hours to pack it out.

Now that's some good huntin' Rost! My SD trips were sidelined for 2013 and I've been bummed about it. Hopefully we can get back out there in '14.

Nice to see the deer y'all are getting and great to see the kids' firsts. I was lucky enough to be looking over our youngest girls shoulder when she shot her first (a spike) and can't imagine I'll have a more treasured deer hunting memory than that.

I second phorns assessment of Rosts 2nd buck. I love the way that one is framed. Sticker points are a bonus, but just the way it is framed is cool. I am a sucker for the long brow tines though.... Having said that, I wouldn't even think of passing on either of the other two either! Nice work Rost.

    • 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.
