Nothing too special about this pic. Its my dad and I with the 2 deer he shot Sunday morning.

Dragging deer through the woods is so overrated so we use the canoe!

Hanson, I have to disagree with you. The thing that is special about that picture is that it is of you and your dad! N Joy those days while you can because some day, like me, you will miss them. There is bonding that goes on on those trips that only a father and a son can know. I spent the season hunting with my son and we had that bonding going on as well! Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Here's a pic of my buddies and their buck from this year's archery season.

This buck came to a rattling session on November 10th, at 10:00am, and was shot at ten yards. He was thought to be a 10 pointer at the time of the shot but has 12 scorable points. The hunt was captured on video. The hunter is pictured on the left and the cameraman/rattle man is on the right. It was a team effort so they wanted me to post a pic of both of them. The buck scores in the 130's.

I have a picture of a very interesting 12 pointer if someone could be so kind as to post it for me.

[Mark Christianson]

Shoot it to me.

Here are pics from coldfeet. First 2 pics are his buck, and the last one is his brothers. I'll let him give the details.

Nice deer Coldfeet!

I think the first buck is on steriods, check out the neck on that guy!!! What did he weigh??

Both are nice bucks!

[Coldfeet]

Thanks for putting my pics up BigLakeBa$$

Too long the first time. I edited it for faster reading...

Took him on 11/10 just after 5:00 pm.

Savage .270 WSM with Federal Premium 150gr bullet. Shot three deer with that gun this year and none of them have taken a step after getting hit.

My brother got his out of the same stand 2 days later, same time of day. He was using an old Marlin 30-30 that had belonged to my Grandpa.

Please keep in mind that I do not make a living taking pictures so please excuse my lousy photography.

The reason I am not in either picture with the buck I shot is that I didn’t have anyone there to snap it for me. The deer was also too heavy for me to pose it first.

I took mine in and weighed it and they said it was only 187 lbs. I of course didn't beleive that so I weighed it at work. We have a large floor scale for weighing crates prior to shipping. According to that scale, which is certified and calibrated by MNDOT, it weighed 218. I think the scale was a bit off at the bait shop.

Here is the deer we took on the last Sunday of rifle season! It sure is fun to hunt with others--my boys are 9 and 6.

45 min into the season, I watched a doe slowly work her way into a clear cut. I decided to pass on her, but then this 8-point followed her out and I couldn't pass him up. I knew if I passed on him, they would have been the only deer I saw during the season.

And here is the 8-point (bigger than mine - nice rutted out neck) that my buddy got on the second day of the season. His first deer ever was a respectable 8-point, 175lb dressed buck! Congrats!

Here are pics from Summit090706

Shot Saturday November 11, 2006. 8:30 AM. 30-06 75 yards. He was cruising between two doe bedding areas. No blood trail. Little sign of a hit. Big enough to be alot of work dragging out of swamp (thank God it is a dry year).

[summit090706]

Thanks Biglakeba$$ for posting the pic. The first three are of my bothers deer. He shot a 7 pointer at 10:30 monday the 6th. It was working a scrape line by a swamp. The big one is a 13 non-typcial with a 17 1/2 inside spread that he shot about 40 yards from the 7 pointer. It to was working a scrape line. The body of the deer is actually pretty small but the rack is really nice. The 13 he shot at 12:30 2 hours after shooting the 7. We ended up shooting 3 deer and missed/passed up 2 others. The last picture is my cousin who shot this 8 on Sunday the 5th in the morning...came out of a swamp and he took a really good shot on it. Thanks

I know were not supossed to have pictures of pickups, but I was hunting alone this year so I had to wait till the wife could snap some photos. as you can see my son was equally excited!

[shauncock]

Here are two does I shot on the last afternoon of 4B. I dont have a scale but the doe on the right was big.

Big 8 point taken by a father-son who happen to be my uncle and cousin. They weighed the buck field dressed at 275lbs. Very nice 8 point rack.

[fishhawk1750]

275 pounds, really the body doesn't look that big. Nice buck either way!

[decoy]

Nice rack!

I think he meant dressed at 175...

[Ely Lake Expert]

Nice deer guys,

I shot a buck, but it is the smallest Ive shot in my life (not picture worthy) but I wasn't going home empty handed.

[SUNNYD]

My Brothers Buck taken 11/05/2006. I took 2 years of work, but he finally made a mistake we could capitalize on.

[jltimm]

Wow, awesome buck! Congrats! Was that taken in central MN if you don't mind me asking?

[SUNNYD]

Thanks, my dad and I are quite proud of him as well. This is the largest buck we have seen in all my 18 years of hunting. Not taken in central MN, but Northwestern MN.

Take care!

[shae1986]

WOW!!!
