I don't think it ever hurts to wait a little bit, I would probably just wait the extra half hour in the stand. Most archers give them time to expire, but I believe that is because there is almost never time for a good follow up shot if the deer is not dead. A firearm has a major advantage in that way. When I have made a good kill shot like that, sometimes I don't look right away, but I go back to my truck and get the gloves, knife, drag, etc.... As long as I know it was a good shot, I'll give it some time.

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.

I primarly bowhunt and our policy is unless you see him pile up on an evening hunt leave him until morning(if cold enough). There really isn't anything to gain and a lot to loose. We do not have a lot of song dogs around so we really aren't worried about it.

Thanks everyone. the reason i backed out was because of the wolfs in our area. they were in my area that afternoon and i didnt want to gut it out in the dark and have visiters while i was gutting. there are people down the road they fallow the kids to the bus stop.. and with a head on shot i didnt know how good of a shot it was and i didnt want to loose that deer.

Shot this 11pt Sunday of opener weekend. Hunting by myself at 3pm in the rain. No wheeler,he broke my deer cart(dont buy one they are junk) it took a while to get out of the place i hunt but well worth it. #225 Dressed. Didnt have anyone to take good pictures in the feild so I had to settle for the sunny and warm pictures the next day. Shot a big doe the day before. State land. Do not know what he scores-wish I did. I will have to call the taxidermist.

Did he drill him in the neck ? Nice looking buck from a part of MN I don't get to see many color shots from, thanks for sharing ! Tell your dad nicely done !

He hit is high and broke its back actually, put a second shot through the neck. There are some big ones around, Ive seen some that size but haven't got a shot.

Here is one he shot 2 years ago and got mounted

Just imagine what those Ely deer would look like in farm county. I belive those northern bigwoods deer are about a year behind in rack production. They do normally make it up by the time they get to 5.5 years and older.

First of all, nice deer! Which kind do you have? I have used two same kind of carts that we have and they have last since 2001 and have had no problems. Really nice to have for the 1 1/2 mile walk where no wheelers or vehicle traveling is allowed!

Congrats everyone and very nice photo's!!!

It was a good season for us as well. I took a 125" 8 point on Halloween night, my wife shot her first MN buck a spike. On the last day of the season dad shot a 136" 10 point. It was a very exciting year for the family.

Here are some pics.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      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.
