2004 DEER HUNTING PICS

A buddy of mine shot this deer on opening morning of the MN 3A gun season.

Congrats Jason that’s one awesome looking buck!!!
What did he score, too bad about the broken tine.

He taped out at 130 1/8 gross. I’m figuring if he had the rest of the that main beam and G4 he would have grossed in the low 140’s. He was starting a crab claw on his left side so who knows maybe he would have had a scorable G5 on the right side.

A friend of a friend shot this deer on 11/7. When I first saw the pictures, I thought it was Steer with Antlers.

I don’t have all of the information on this deer yet, but I am guessing it was well over 250lbs. I will try to get the details, and post them. I wish this was my deer.

Rip Lipper, what do you estimate this one to score? I can’t see if it is a 5 x 5 or 4 x 5. That is a very impressive deer!!! WOW

These aren’t bucks that were shot in 2004, but since I am sitting here waiting for the season to start tomorrow I thought I would share some of the bucks we have shot past hunting seasons.

The one attached here is one my dad got a few years ago

Here is my buck from this morning . Not huge by any means, but a nice young buck . This was the first and only deer I seen this morning. I set up on a nice oak flat that was above the riverbottom knowing there would be at least some does come through. I also figured if I shot one it would be a nice flat drag about 200 yards to the truck. Well we all know how that works . I shot him at about 40 yards right in the front shoulder. He did the jump, kick, and buck routine and ran STRAIGHT for the riverbottom . Another hunter that was closer than I like to be took a shot at him and blew right through his back . Anyway, it was a nice uphill drag and was back in the truck by 9:00. And to think, I wasn’t even going to go . He would be an 8 pointer, but the right G1 is busted off about 2 inches from the main beam. Rough inside spread is 18 4/8″. He has been in a few battles as his neck is gouged pretty good. His neck is still huge, but the body appears to be pretty run down. Now I will have to sit back and enjoy the rest of the weekend or go out and fill my doe tag, ahhh maybe tomorrow .

Congrats AmWatson NICE BUCK!!!

Scott, it’s hard to tell but it looks like it is a good picture of the buck (the 2nd pic). Taking photos of game or fish can be an art. It looks like the G2’s are around 9 to 11″ with the G3’s around 8-10″. It looks like the beams are about 24″ and the spread is right about 20″. It looks like average thickness so I would say this buck would gross right around mid 140’s???? With a net around the mid high 130’s. Great buck!!!!!

My 3B season opened at 6:48 on Sat., and was over at 7:19.

Unforunately, the camera didn’t make it out hunting that morning,(digitals and moisture don’t mix well) but I got this shot when I got home.

10 points, 18.5″ spread.

There’s a 14 with 2 drop tines running around where I hunt, but he didn’t show himself this morning. I couldn’t pass this one up in hopes of getting the BIG BOY!
