Just got my 2009 buck back.

I think it turned out great.

Did you score it? Nice buck.

I happen to be a Big Laker too. Great afternoon for the kids football game!

Great looking buck.... looks like a nice mature deer. If you don't mind, what part of the state was it taken? Looks like a big woods deer to me.

[Back2Dakota]

Nice grey face and didnt have many teeth left. Shot him north of Brainerd on state land. Big woods but he was living in the big swamp-no wheeler can make it back there and I about died getting him out(#225 dressed) but the adreniline helped.Everyone went home early that Sunday because of the rain including the group of 8 that was camping there-called my cousin who does not hunt and he came and helped get him out. Bro and I had the swamp to ourselves and filled all 4 tags the guys camping there stayed close to the trails with wheelers and the trails do not come near the swamp.I got my trophy now I am sticking to younger ones he tasted like SHAT!!

Nice Job, how old would you say he is? Age intrigues me. Boar

[jerkbait]

That's a dandy!!!

[Coach1310]

Even without the antlers, a mature buck like that is a true treat to be able to harvest. I hunt just a bit North and East of Merrifield on State Land and am still waiting for my once in a lifetime encounter with the monster out there. He's been tearing huge trees up for two years and I haven't heard anything about someone getting him so there is still hope. Anywho, great buck....

[Back2Dakota]

Hope this is the year for ya Coach. I am hunting not to far from you! Oh and no I didnt score it.

To take a deer of that caliber on state land is truely a trophy of a life time congrats. I know how many hunters are out there. Not to many bucks make it to that age think about what that deer has seen great job.

Right below him is a pair of snowshoes my father inlaw made when he was in his teens and trapped-he was going to toss em but I grabbed them.
