thank you everyone! my girlfriends dad is a taxidermist and hes mounting this for me for my christmas present so i will be getting it back shortly. i cant wait!

YA brad give me a call if your in town and have a few free minutes, maybe we could meet up and have a beer or pop or something.

im not much of a duck hunter, but some of my buddies do good on island and fish lake. i have shot some ducks this year, but it was on private property. As far as grouse go, if you know where the jean duluth rd is, you take that all the way to the north end of it where it ends and it will T with normana rd. if you take a right, which would be east there is a ton of area down there if you travel 15 minutes down that road. there are a bunch of dirt roads that you can drive down with numerous walking/4wheeler trails branching off. just be careful this weekend since that area is hunted very heavily for deer. Also above island lake there is alot of country and people do good there too.

thank you. ya the guy who has land next to ours shot a 8 this morning too, just about the same time as mine. the bucks are moving in the duluth area.

thank you. i saw him 70 yards off walking away from me, and i gave 4 doe bleets and he turned 180 degrees and was driectly under my stand in 2 minutes, grunting with every step. he broke his g1 but on his right side but other than that hes a nice deer.

I also was fortunate to get my first buck with a bow this morning. at 735am he came by. i shot at 12 yards and im glad i bought the rage broadheads, he ran 30 yards and dropped. 10 pointer, my biggest by far!feild dressed 180 pounds.
