Let'm go so he can grow


Pete rattles in a nice 8 point buck to less then 10 yards, but this deer was not on our hit list so he had to let him walk. This buck needs another year or maybe two to get fully mature and then this story will have a different ending. Back in a tree again today hopefully bringing you more up close and personal whitetails.

New Definition of BBD!  

Are you kidding me...?!  I am left speechless but I am going to try and give you the story behind this photo.  

Good friend, fishing partner, and hunting partner Jeremy called Pete tonight after dark and we had all just come in from the woods and said, "Pete, I shot a giant!".  We weren't sure what he meant by a giant but the proof is in the pudding.  This thing is a magnum stud whitetail that should be close if not the new MN state record non-typical whitetail.  They have a rough measurement on it and it pushes 243"+.  This deer was taken just outside of the south metro on a small piece of property owned by his father.  When we bow hunted together last week I asked him if his dad had any good ones we should be chasing.  He had said something about a couple good ones running around but thought there was one giant...well he was right.  This deer is just outstanding huge.  He came out of a small piece of woods after a doe, and the rest was history.  He was calling to scream BBD in the phone!  Jeremy saw this deer at 2.5 and only one time since and never got a shot at it...they are guessing his age now at either 5.5 or 6.5.  Guess he did a good job of hiding for a few years.  

Congrats to Jeremy and I look forward to just standing next to this unreal animal for a photo.  Until next time, continue the chase....oh and Hunt On!

New Stud Added To The Hit list


This is a stud 8 pointer we got on film on the same scrape that multiple bucks are using. He isn't very wide, but he sure is tall. His brow tines are pretty awesome. Needless to say he has been added to the hit list. Hopefully next time we catch him on film it is with an impact shot.

Burning Time Between Deer Sits

Took a break from the deer woods long enough to walk for a few roosters.  We were able to take 5 this morning.  Now time to wash up and get back in our deer stands with the camera.  They started running does again last night after a 2 day break due to the wind and weather.
