Hi All. I'm new to this forum, but it looks like a great place.

Had a banner year this fall. Shot a 195lb 10 point on opening weekend and a 205lb 9 point last weekend. Can't wait for next year!

Welcome to MNO u0061914! Those are some nice looking bucks! Congrats on the banner year! Where are you from? What part of the state do you hunt?

I live in Prior Lake, but I'm orginally from the Chisholm area. I still have a cabin up there, so I spend most weekends at the cabin. Hunt in that area also.

Wow u006! Those are some nice bucks you got there!! What a year for you!!

I have a friend that comes from Chisholm, his name is Mike Pouh..do you know him? I figured you might since it's such a small town.

Congratulations on your bucks!! gg

I sure do know Mike. It has been years since I have seen him, but he graduated 2 years before me.

Nice buck and a nice truck (Ford rocks

)

So how did you take him -- bow or rifle?

Shotgun about 60 yards on the run.. love the Sabot slugs Fast 3000 PS not bad for shooting a big hunk of lead

gveire

My brother shot this buck with his shotgun about 50 yards not bad for SW Minn

Shaneydan, welcome to MNO! Glad to have you here.

I have your picture added above. Nice looking buck! Plus, you have two great little hunting buddies!

Thanks,
OJ

If you have ever wondered if deer management works - well here is proof. It took a few years of passing up the little ones but eventually it has paid off. These bucks were taken in one small area and big boy that's still out there puts these to shame. Still a week and a half of muzzle loader left so there's a chance anyway - it was a cold day hunting today.

I am guessing these animals come from near Duluth am I wrong? And yes it does work by passing up little bucks.

shaneydan

Sort of - Grand Marais area.

shaneydan

Yet another.

Hey folks! nice bucks on here, congrats everyone. here's a buck that I've been after for a few years now. I picked up his sheds a couple years ago and got a nice trail camera photo of him last year as a 13 point. My brother and I had a phenomenal year. The bucks weighed 204, 211 and 216 pounds.

Those are awesome bucks! Congrats Landcruiser! Welcome to MNO. What part of the state are you from? What part of the state did you harvest those big boys?

Mayfly

This is a picture of the ten pointer that my stepson shot on the last morning of the rifle season in zone one north of Itasca State Park. He is twelve years old so this was his first year hunting. He ended up with a doe, a fawn, and this buck which is going on the wall. Not a bad way to start out.

Bigdog,

I bet your stepson is hooked for life on deer hunting. Wow, what a huge buck! It might be hard to beat that big boy next year! Tell your stepson congrats! I bet you are very proud. Great job getting another young hunter hooked for life!
