Our 2010 deer hunt

Well a few people have asked me to post some picks of our bucks we harvested this year. This year was a great year with lots of bucks and does sited. I passed up on some small bucks early in the week but when I jumped what i thought was an eight pointer my instincts took over and I ended up taking a 6pter with no brow tines (last buck I saw all week though). Others in my group were a little luckier or had more trigger contol. I really feel happy for the one I hunt with most of the time. He brought me to the camp and told me to hunt a certain area that he had seen some good sign in previous years but that no one hunted. Well I have taken a big 11pter and a large 18pter out of there and he has been sorry he told me about the area. Well this year I am glad he got his trophy buck, a very symetrical 10 pter with some tines over 13". He is an official FROW measurer and he green scored it in the high 150's (157-158 I believe). Well I guess I had better post some pic's.

Another lucky hunter, Eddy with his 10 pointer.



Well and then there was my little 6 pter (the most tender of the bunch!!!)

Congrats to Ron and Eddy on their 10 pointers. Love the symmetry of those racks. Congrats on your nice buck and for coming through with the tender back straps .

If you look at the pics, Ron's buck was the last buck tag to be filled out of 6 guys. The pic of mine was two days later. See any change!!! BRRRRRR!

It does look quite fridged in your deer pic. How cold was it ?

It was not real cold, only about -10 Celcius but with 30-40 km winds it felt way colder. Those last days I was in a pop up blind and when I went to take it down it almost blew away. I caught it by one of the tie down strings. It is one of those that you have to fold over, twist and so on. A real birch. Next year I am getting all hub blinds. I prefer something smaller but after trying to get that dang thing into the case I'll put up with the size. One of my partners has a Bone Collector blind and it looks real good other than being on the big size. It is one of the quietest blinds I've seen.

I almost bought a Bone Collector hub blind last year. Going to get one this year since the bears pretty much destroyed my dog house blind. I won't be leaving it in the bush anymore.

I think there would be some bears with prices on their head.

I can hardly wait until next season.

It is nice to see that your buddy Ron entered his buck in OMW's King of the Woods contest. Good luck to him.

Great to see you guys did so well!! Congrats!

CONGRATS YOU GUYS DID WELL THIS YEAR.

3 beauty bucks, Congratulations !!

Some very nice animals, congrats to all.

Ya, he is one happy hunter. His smile is wide as the rack!

I must be blind, I just seen this post!! some nice deer there, look at the length of the tines on that first one. I thought the guy looked familiar, but then I just read the omw magazine a couple of weeks ago so I guess thats why. Well, good luck to Ron in the contest, I think it's coming up soon.
