    I saw 4 bucks last night on a scouting trip around the Neighborhood. 2 Nice ones and 2 smaller ones. One nice one was a High racked 5×5 that was out of velvet 100% that would go in the 150’s. Between seeing those bucks and this colder weather, I feel kind of bored and not very motivated

    Yeah Right

    Less than a month away for MN and less than 2 weeks in ND

    If any of you want to see some good bucks and get a quick Deer fix, let me know, I finally have found a few around the area after all the Housing going on

    I had two fawns in my backyard yesterday afternoon. They were still sporting their spotted coats. About 15 minutes later Momma showed up, dad must have been working.

    Here too Tony. Most of the Fawns still have spots. Seen a bunch the other night scouting and one in the yard this morning that still had them. I couldn’t believe that the buck had shed ALL his velvet already. Nothing that gets me more pumped than seeing hard bone on top of a big bucks head. It means that they are ready to shoot .

    Housing Developments do suck Tony. You have no idea what they (housing development)did to behind my house. If people only knew of the Brusier Bucks I had cruising around. You would never guess you were 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. 200″ plus Deer were around, a couple each year. The stuff and things I have seen in my 5 years of living in my house, video producation guys can only dream of capturing. I have seen some unbelievable things (big bucks, big bucks fighting, reproduction, fawns playing, some awesome full velvet sights, A person chase a deer in a vehicle and pull out a handgun to drop the deer only to leave it lay and come back and get it in the dark (longstory, but I’m pissed I did not call the CO now )in a no firearm area. Gee I wonder why that truck was parked out there every day Bow Hunting and then did that , knowing that most of our “Cities Finest” are the ones that “GOT SELECTED on a random draw” to bow hunt this area and I wonder who else is that good at a handgun

    Tony like I said you or the public have no idea what was behind my house and now is gone due to “Urban Growth” . With no thought or respect for what that land used to hold (wildlife). With houses 20 feet apart at the base and 16 feet apart at the roof overhangs. That does notleave a lot of room for the wildlife Much less the # of deer that used to use that area have no been scrunched down to less land and way less food and will probably not last the winter, due to the system will not be able to feed that many But don’t worry the city is gaining money in taxes so it makes it ALL OK

    How funny Rob,
    I got up this morning and walked outside, took a deep breath and thought to myself, “it would be a great morning to be on stand” that cool dampness in the air. Then I also thought it would be a good morning to be trolling too!

    Lip,
    Sounds like you need to video some of that footage. Nothing cooler than reliving that shot on film, unless you miss a brusier of course. But just watched some hunting dvd’s last night and it about drives me crazy. Can’t wait.

    As already said………fall, leaves turning, falling……it makes me so sad……I become a widower for almost 5 months.

    I never got into the bowhunting thing……but my wife would be out there from before dawn to dark o’clock if I let her. I keep building or buying her bowstands, just so I can see her more by going out with her to set them up/move them to better areas. At least she makes sure I have plenty of food in the frig before she takes off.

    Lip, I think If I were you I would be trying to get permission to hunt the closest narliest stuff next to the invasion of the houses that popped up.Those bucks are still there, you just need to figure out how to get to them.

    Believe Me Jig I have tried, long story but lets just say the Cities Finest have controlled this and have had “public draws of Names that aint so public and seem that they are the ones to be “selected” every year. With this latest development they have changed plans again and just released it.
