Thread: Deer Season 2014

Just wondering how everyone did this year?

Nice catch!

I wish I had the time... but I don't see that happening for another 2-3 years minimum.
In the mean time, going to the range is the best I can do, and even that is not an easy task (yet another hobby the Lady of the house is not too fond of...).

Cheers.

I am no hunter: haven't got the patience. Plenty roadkilled hare and rabbits here that, if still fresh, I take home to skin and bone. That is about as heroic as I get. I once accompanied an elk hunter and sat for hours with him in a tree hide in Utah. Saw a few elk that did not qualify for a kill.

Some details would be appreciated by this gun nut please

Minnesota limited to one deer per hunter. My wife wanted 4 in the freezer.

Fortunately, I had help.

A bow hunter only wanted a buck but shot a doe from our driveway so I got that one.

I shot a big 8 pointer from a tree stand with my muzzleloader. The roundball put it down within 20 seconds.

A friend of mine hunting with me got a huge doe with a shotgun from a blind.

Finally, I acquired a massive old buck that was finished off with a Buick or a Ford or whatever. I had to chase away another guy on the highway who decided it was his but it was on our land and the DNR was on our side.



So, my wife is happy and I'm off the hook with my second year of deer hunting.

Oh, and Lynn, nice shot!

I didn't bow hunt this year just waited for shotgun season. after the first 2 days of seeing nothing i was kind of giving up hope but as a last resort went to a different spot and got this after an hour and a half.

Here's my 8-point. The rack wasn't much to brag about as it's a young buck without much mass...but he was a big bodied guy and delicious!

Overkill this year Glen. Last year all I had were some really long as in plus 350 yard shots, so I went with the Browning 300 Win Mag this year. About a 150 yard shot on that one, just a touch low. The weather here was perfect this year for opening day. 9 pointer.

Before you start Glenn, shot at approximately 160 yards with Armalite AR-10(t) carbine using 178 gr. custom .308 loads with ballistic silvertips from combined technologies. Dropped like a sack of potatoes.
