[Stratosman]

Nice job boiler and the rest of you fellas...I'm still waiting patiently for my opportunity.

Here is the 12 pointer I got this afternoon. Hopefully better pictures to come. Pretty unique rack, 8 on one side 4 on the other. Best part is my son is ready to rock one himself now. Told him he has to wait 8 years...talk about a major buzz kill for the youngster.

Here is my 7 pointer from area 343. Unfortunately we didn't have the camera in the field with us and it was going straight to butcher, so this is the best picture I have. This is also a personal best for me, after shooting 19 deer in my life (only the second with antlers).

My 2007 buck, only one in 7 years, passed a lot of small bucks, below 150 inches to harvest this 164&1/8 inch b&c buck [image]http://[/image]

cousin corey with his 2007 buck, 22.5 inside spread should gross around 180 B&C points [image][/image]

Great bucks guys! Just wondering though, just because those bucks so unusually big for most of MN, where did you get them? Were you patterning these bucks, or was it just luck? Pretty amazing to see two bucks of that caliber killed by one family. I have personally never seen a buck that big in the wild, so I am just curious as to how you went about getting on those?

[matthothand]

Congrats on those bucks! He had mentioned passing up all bucks under 150" for seven years I think. That has a lot to do with it. Hard to shoot a big buck like those if you shoot the little guys first. I'm sure there is more to their success than that but that's a big part of what I believe in.

[Tippman]

That's what I was gonna say. I'm sure their hunting party is managing the land. It does make a difference. True fisherking?

[fisherking01]

Actually our group of 10 buddies that hunt together some but mostly apart have so far taken four over 150 inches this season. There is a lot of luck involved, but that the percent of luck is increased by letting the bucks mature. I passed on mine the last 2 seasons at 130-150 inches and was lucky to harvest him this year. Cory's was seen on trail cam, not noted in previous years. Far as I'm concerned we have the potential in mn to raise lots of big deer, and the only thing we are missing is age. If you want to shoot a big buck, the buck of a lifetime, you can't settle for a little one. I know they travel and the neighbors will shoot em and all the scenarios, but If I shoot a small buck, that's it for him. He will not get any bigger. If I pass on him and he is in the small percent that the neighbors don't kill, he can get bigger, and bigger and bigger. Note these are 4.5 -5.5 year old deer. It only takes a few years to see the results. Any buck in Mn given a few years will be a trophy. Bottom line shoot the little ones and you decrease your opportunity at a buck of a lifetime.

Here is another picture of my 2007 buck.

Holy Browtines Batman!!

What a beauty of a buck Fisherking. Well worth the hard work and patience!

Nice buck there too, Fishhwak... How many points on the left side??

[Central Bassman]

WOW Fisherking NICE DEER!!!

[BeerHunter]

Shot this guy tonight with about 45 minutes of Shooting time left. First buck i have seen all year so i decided it was time.

He looks to have been a tough guy. 3 antlers broke off. THe little kicker is pretty cool. He weighed 135 lbs. Man does your heart race when you have to watch them work towards you for 10 minutes.

I watched him walk out of the can grass about 300 yrds away and work his way to 20 yards under my stand. He was heading to thick stuff so i shot him below me. Hit his spine and lungs and dropped dead. Not a bad way to end the gun season. And with all of the time i had in the stand i figured out this was my 20th deer ive shot.

Here is my 10 pointer shot opener. Not my biggest but a nice deer for our area. Not fun being back at work today after a week off hunting/fishing...

[woody1975]

Not the biggest or my biggest, but the nicest deer I have seen while on stand in the North woods and I have never shot a 10-pointer before.
