Have to agree with the others, what ever works with your bow. I shot Muzzy’s when I lived there and still shoot them for whitetail here. 125 grain was what I shot.

Great bird!

Nice deer and mount!

Cool story, congrats!

This is the first time that I have not been alone while I’m surfing after work. Myself and one other on at 2:10 am

Congrats! That is what hunting is all about! Thanks for sharing.

Great job! Congrats to you and your dad!

Awesome! Congrats Katie!

We put one in the middle of corn field last week and they didn’t seem to mind one bit. To our knowledge (from the landowner) there had never been a blind in the field before, so it’s not like it was a common thing. That was my only experience using a blind for turkeys, but I wont hesitate to do it next year if the situation warrants.

Congrats!

Ours had some corn and greens.

I didn’t draw either, but I will be making a drive out anyway to hunt with some local friends in the Big Sky area during bow season. It’ll still be a great time working the camera and bugling for them!

WOW! Great deer and mount!

Great recap Gut! Congrats to him and thanks for sharing the story!

Awesome! Congrats!

Pellet gun will certainly do the trick…

Ain’t that the truth!

Very good idea! Thanks for sharing!

Good read Johnny, thanks! I hope the hunters pay attention to those ear tags so we can see how old she can get……..then again, even though she’s small, that would be a great trophy!

On my way to work driving up the North Shore a few years ago, I saw a buck that I had been hunting dead on the side of the road. Nothing huge, but it was a nice, tall 8 pt. that I had seen from my stand but could never get a shot. I wanted the rack to make some rattling antlers for my dad cause I know he wanted some, but didn’t want to ruin any of his racks in the process. I called the local CO and told him what I wanted to do and asked how to proceed. He met me at the spot about 30 mins. after I called him, gave me a possession tag, but told me I had to dispose of the carcass properly. There were no issues in my situation so maybe yours was a case of an over zealous CO? I’m not sure, but I know I’ll follow proper procedure to avoid any serious consequences.

I’m going to do a better job with my decoys. 2 years ago I blew it and had the decoys set in a bad spot and got busted. That wont happen this year.

Next time I get to hunt (the drawing hates me) I will not get caught smashing wood ticks on the grip of my gun. Nelson got pretty mad about that; something about a Tom strutting around while I was smashing woodticks?

Oh and I will bring my bullets with on the long hikes, and I will not get scared and run away when a pheasant sneaks up on my at o’ dark thirty nor will I point at the turkey strutting in the tree as he looks down at me. My guess is I will also need a new guide as my old one most likely will turn down my request.

That’s one of my favorite stories!

Did that come from the UP? If so, which end? I can’t imagine a buck that big coming from the western part where I’m from.

That makes a whole lot more sense…….
