Isnt there an old saying??? This thread is worthless without pics. :)
My total buck sightings for the year in MN is 3. Well, one was a button buck, but at least it makes my numbers sound more impressive. :)

Iowa hunt update----I shot a busted up 9 @ 9:30 opening morning. He came down a creek bottom scent checking for does. I had already had around 20 does and one shed buck come by me (yes a buck with no antlers?)
He got within 75 yds and I pulled up on him with my Savage 20.
He turned slightly and I thought he might bolt. I put the crosshairs on him quartering away and made the shot.
I found him just over the next hill in the thick timber....he smelled rutty! Big old buck with a management type rack. Perfect one to get for my farm. I was stoked.
Friend of mine came over to help drag it out. Which is a real project in itself.
(See pic)
That evening I sat with friend and filmed his hunt. It was 3:30 and we had been in blind about 1/2 hour when we saw some deer coming from property to the east. They were pushing deer, which is common in Iowa!
In the group of deer was a real nice buck. They cut toward us because we left some standing corn for food plot.
That turned out to be a great decision!
The big 10 crossed in front of us and Slowed down. Friend made the shot but was not sure he hit it.
Video showed that shot appeared good!!
Plenty of blood in the corn, and we found the big buck just on edge of timber.
What a day. We were done by 4:00.
Really fun hunt, in a very good area.
Heading back a bit early!!

Grand Lodge---I have an 8 x 16 and my friend has the 8 x 20 in the above picture. They are built in South Dakota and from what I have heard they are built extremely well. We like the houses a lot!
Great for a hunting camp, and they are of course, good for ice fishing.
