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.

What a beauty!!! Congrats I need to find me a tree like that.

Great deer Stratos! Which specific grunt and can calls are you using?

[Stratosman]

Primos "can" and primos grunt calls... perfect combo IMO....

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.

so whats the story on that one, fishattacker

[BuckSutherland]

U kinda look like Justin Morneau. Your deer didnt seem like he missed too many meals. Great neck on him.

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!!

And where are the pics??? Congrats! That would be a blast to hunt Ripley in December w/ tracking snow.

[fishattacker]

The buck is above a few posts. It was fun hunting in all that snow and decent temps. Deer were really moving. I guess the hunt success rate was around 57% with about 50 guys showing up.

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.

Great deer Rost!!

[phorn]

Love the character of that second one. Congrats!!!

[MahtowaDave]

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.

[MahtowaDave]

I also like it that Rost isn't afraid to get a little dirty for a trophy buck!

The buck I shot on opening weekend

My friday the 13th buck! With the muzzy

[highlife4me]

LIKE THE BROW TINES!! Nice buck, congrats.

[paceman]

[slimngrizzly]

Beauty skies! You get him of your familys land? Very unique brows! Well done!
