I missed the biggest buck I've ever shot at a week prior, but last weekend I managed to shoot this respectable 5x4 in ND.  It was the first few minutes of legal shooting time on a cloudy morning and I had to make a pretty quick decision to shoot.  I thought he was bigger, but I honestly can't say I'm upset I shot him either.  Tagged out in ND.  

 

Now, if I could just get one to cooperate with us so my son could get a shot.  Three close calls this weekend, but no arrows flung!

Good job Scoot!  Big bodied deer, no excuses needed.  Hope you can get Ryan on one.

We had an 8 at 20 yards, another 8 at 27 yards, and a big ol' 10 at 27 yards last weekend.  So close!!!  I hope we can get back out this weekend, but I'm not sure it'll work.  We shall see...

Looks like a good buck to me Scoot, not many that big where I hunt in WI to be honest and I'd be hard pressed to let him walk even if I knew a bigger one might be in the area.

Thanks Cheetah.  I'm happy I took the shot when I did!  Trying like heck to get my son a crack at one and it hasn't come together yet.  Maybe this weekend...

Ryan finally got an opportunity on the last night of the ND season.  He did good!  He and I are on Cloud 9 about it.  His biggest buck by far!

That's awesome! Great picture as well. There's nothing better than a blood trail in the snow!
