Man, that is a giant.  I'm glad you were able to track him down and finish him off. Congrats.

[eyeguy 54]

wow!  congrats! 

[leech~~]

 Three of us on a long rope switching positions with one in the back to keep his antlers from snagging could only manage 10-15 yards before we needed to stop and catch our breath. We are all soaked from head to tail, falling into the mud and sweating our butts off. We finally get him back to the field edge and into the sled behind the ATV and we all collapse in celebration and I finally have the buck of my dreams!!

That is one Buck of a life time! We have found it a little better pulling them out if you have enough guys to use a pretty short rope or just by the antlers to get some of the body weight off the ground. Pulling one that big will always suk but dragging with a long rope seems to snag a lot more and getting around trees and dead falls with the full body weight and antlers digging in every where doesn't help much.

This one will be hard to match-ever!  You may as well stay in the cabin and be the camp cook from now on!

My brother shot this buck yesterday morning at 10 yards about 8:40am at my place.  I'd never seen him that I was aware of, often don't know what the deer eyes you see out in the hayfield at night belong to of course.  Have trail cams pics of some nice bucks at home, but nothing like this:

 

 

He shot it from the stand in the background right as it lays.  He heard something in the leaves behind him, turned & it was trotting down the mowed road at 20 yds.  He shot it 2 secs after seeing it.  13 scoreable pts, 202 lbs., inside spread's about 15 3/4's.  Longest tines are about 9" I believe.  We're approximating his green gross at 155.  He's getting it mounted, by far the biggest deer he's ever shot.

Awesome deer guys some really cool deer.

[bigbucks]

My brother just talked to the taxidermist.  He rough scored his buck at 169, which is sweet.  It was a beast.

[certified jumbo]

Thats a brute, Bigbucks!!

[bigbucks]

leech, he has to get a second one first...  Of course when I picked that handle I hadn't shot any big ones yet...

We're chasing one or two on another farm that I'm sure are bigger.

 

[DonBo]

Another great deer.  Congrats to all.

 

[ozzie]

Thanks for the story chasin_walter20!!!  Very cool experience!!!  and bigbucks your brother shot one heck of a deer also!!!  gets me more ambition to go back out this weekend and hope for the chance something walks within range! 

[jerkbait]

Decide to take the day off and hunt. Quarter past noon this guy comes walking out at the end of the clearing. 300 yards. I knew it was a buck, but was just concentrating on making the shot. Went about 40 yards. Oh boy did I get excited when I walked up to him. 13 points. Think l am still shaking.

[CANOPY SAM]

Beautiful deer!  Congrats JB!

[Boar]

Wow Chris, that is so much better seeing it here than on the phone. Way to go my freind! Congratulations!!

Those crab claws are way cool!

[rkhinrichs]

I shot this doe this morning, In a state park hunt on the North Shore.

[MJ1657]

Cool pic with the lake in the background! 

Nice work.

[paceman]

Great Deer Jerkbait!

[bigbucks]

Ditto on your buck Jerkbait.  He's a brute.

That doe from the state park hunt looks fun too.

 

[Lunker]

Nice deer everyone. I was fortunate enough to take this nice 9 point 90 minutes into the WI season on Saturday. I saw him twice during bow season but couldn't make it happen. He came silently through the snow behind me to 30 yards, and went about 30 yards post-shot and expired in seconds. Back to the bow stand now!

Great Job.

Now I hate being a jerk about this and by no mean want to take away from the success, but I just have to comment.  

Look where the rifle barrel is pointing in this picture.  The three points ingrained in the 3 hunter ed classes I attended with each of my kids : Muzzle control, treat every gun as if it loaded, be sure of your target down range.

 

 

really cant a guy be proud without a smart comment i understand your point but hey lets point it out to the internet world man why make the point I'm sure he knows just an adjeneline pic

Plenty of MN deer hunters and other hunters in MN get hurt or killed because of "adrenaline".  I pass on many comments, but this one was too good a lesson for everyone.   I guess including yourself.

Slow down and remember safety does not get a break.
