Great deer and very nice mounts. Isn't hunting ND fun?

I love hunting ND and am fortunate to have married into some nice farm land there. I used to hunt wisconsin when I was younger and must say that both states have nice deer, but completely different styles of hunting due to the landscape.

I am assuming that both you and your dad are MN residents (and that the two of you applied together for buck tags in ND as non residents)? If so, how many years (and preference points) did it take for you to draw the buck tags?

Inthenorthwoods,

We used to apply together years ago, but have decided to apply seperately to better the odds that atleast one of us has a buck tag every few years and that person gets a shot at a nice deer. This past year just so happen that we both drew a tag after 4 years of only doe tags for him and 3 for me. He got a any buck and I had a whitetail buck. It usually comes out that I get a buck tag once every 4 years. I really don't mind as I am able to be with my dad and inlaws and see some nice deer roaming the farm. The does taste great also grin

Thanks for the nice compliments guys.

Was just curious since I am now in the non-resident boat in ND and have thought about convincing my dad & brother to start applying. I applied last year (the first as a NR) and didn't get a tag. I am still trying to figure out how long it might be before I draw. As it stands, I buy a ND bow tag every year, but sometimes I think it would be nice to hunt during the gun season with a gun.

I've looked through these all, not a bum in the bunch. All great mounts.

One thing I noticed, and this is NOT a slam on anyones mount at all, but taxidermists all put a different expression on deer mounts. Some have slight eye closure making them look a little sneaky or mad, while others have bigger eyes and the back of the lips lifted, almost making them look like they are smiling.

Like I said, not slamming any of these great mounts, just noticing the differences.

Just got my 2010 archery buck back from the taxi...13 pt. NT, and he tells me he scored him at 147. Decided to go with a semi upright form this time, and I like it.

He fits in nicely with the others grin

The yellow pin is marking an exit wound we found on the inside of the cape made by a 3 blade broadhead. I wish i would have taken a picture from the inside which you could see the scar. This deer was 7.5 years old. we are guessing the wound to be a few years old. Almost an esophagus hit. very close to have been killed by someone other than myself!
