Take'm Down Seth Jones!

Seth, Nick, and I had a great day on the water on Sunday morning.  The ducks were plentiful and so was the fun.  The divers are starting to show up in large numbers.  I am headed to Iowa for the weekend to hunt roosters and then onto Bull Shoals Arkansas to fish.  Just can't get enough of the cast & blast in the fall.  I will get something up when I get home.  Good luck to all!

Huntwithmatt.com "Buck Down"-Shane R.

PB050011.JPG

Back from a great weekend of deer hunting in southern MN.  As you can see both Jeremy and Shane were successful in there quest for a whitetail buck deer. 

My luck wasn't so good.  I saw some small bucks on opening morning that I let walk for a future chance.  "Let them go so they can grow", was my attitude for this deer hunting season.  Sat evening I did see one nice buck chasing a doe, but was not comfortable with the shot through the heavy cover so I held up.  My biggest concern was possibly wounding the animal and not finding it.  Sun morning I sat in stand again but did not see anything but squirrels. 

I would like to say thanks to Shane for inviting me down to hunt on his property.  I also want to say thanks for putting up with all of us for two days.  All together I think there was 8 of us that made the venture to deer camp this year.  There were four deer shot and many other passed up opportunities.  The property we hunt has some giant deer on it.  We have proof in trail camera pictures.  Of the giant bucks that we got on camera over the last two months neither of the two bucks taken were ever photographed. 

I am now going to be focusing my attention on bow hunting in Wis, and the upcoming slug season on Iowa.  Shane get your act together, we need to be going to Iowa to scout.  We have giants to shoot.  Then we will be ice fishing!!  I will keep you all posted on the upcoming adventures.PB050005.JPG 

Shane Raveling with a nice MN buck.  You can see that the one side of his rack broke when he went down.  It was really to bad cause it was a pretty nice deer.

Look Out Whitetail Buck Deer

Headed to Rushford, MN today to hunt whitetail buck deer.  Hopefully will come back with a success story of a giant buck.  Will report back with pictures and stories early next week.  I also have some other good news to report about, but you will just have to wait.  Watch for a summer/end of year wrap up some time next week with pictures and stories from this summers blooper's.  For those of you that joined me for a day on the water and didn't see your picture up here, watch for it soon.  Thanks to everyone that I was able to fish with and I look forward to many more years of service and memories.  Thanks to my sponsors and all the people that enable me to do what I love. 

Lastly, ice fishing is right around the corner.  The lakes in the west metro had ice on them this morning.  If you would like to set up some ice fishing this winter please e-mail me.  Our first trip to LOW is booked for Thanksgiving week, only three weeks away.  Keep your fingers crossed.    Red lake, Waconia, Minnetonka, or where ever your destination, let us put you on more fish this winter.  "Stop Fishing, Start Catching" - fishwithmatt.com
