2007 Gun Deer Pics


Tippman

Recommended Posts

Sorry if this topic is somewhere else. Don't really have time to look now.

Long story short, I had the crosshairs on this buck 4 different times with the safety off. Never was 100% sure of the shot though. He ended up running by my father and he got him! Nearly had him last week with the bow too! 215 lbs field dressed.

i shot a buck this morning right at daylight, he came in chasing a hot doe, i hit him twice before he disapered into some thick brush, 15 min later as i climed down my stand and started walking his way another much larger buck came in grunting and snorting, he was fired up and looking for a fight, at first i thought it was the buck i shot and he had doubled back on me, i poped a quick shot at him but luckly missed, as he ran out the other side of the valley i heard some rustling in the bushes and sure enough there was my buck laying in the thickest nastyst cocklebur/rasberry bush in the woods, he's a leagle 9pt, with 7 main points and 2 small sticker points near the base of one antler, cooked up the tenderloins for supper this afternoon, and man its nice to taste fresh vinison again, this is the 2nd largest buck of my life behind an 11pt i shot a few years back

Hey Tippman, nice gun set up. It is close to what I use.

Where about in the state did you shoot the deer?

Actually that's my dad's gun, a 870 wingmaster with redfield I believe. He shot the deer as I said, the pics of him just didn't turn out well with the color for some reason. He was shot near St. Cloud. I have the bar raised pretty high for me now. smile.gif

Hey Tippman,

I'm kind of disappointed in that deer, it's not white!? j/k Oh, because your father harvested it it's a normal deer thats why. Hey Congrats and beautiful buck. Just giving you a hard time. I was lucky enough to take a yearling doe.

whats the circumferance at the base did you by chance shoot this buck near the minnesota river? A couple of people in my party saw a buck on saturday that they didnt have a clear shot at but they could see that it was a brute and sunday evening when registering my nephews doe the guy at the registration station says the neighbors across the river got a brute that field dressed weighed 215. Either way that is a dandy buck congrats.

Here is the 10 pointer I shot on Sunday after a 30 minute cat and mouse game. This is the most fun I have ever had shooting a deer. A half hour of pure excitement. He weighed 200# on a Cabelas scale after field dressing and scored 139 points. He would stick his nose in the shooting lane and stop. Finally he crossed one.

Great looking deer guys. It's always nice to take a personal best.

I passed on a mid sized 8 tonight still looking for the big boy near Mcgregor. It's not as easy checking this site from the cell phone as the home computer though.

I got my personal best this year as well. A nice 10 point mainframe with a little 1" sticker/extra browtine.

Nope, he is Houston County born and raised.

The coolest part is that he showed up on trail camera for the first time the weekend before the season.

Here is the 12 pointer I got this afternoon. Hopefully better pictures to come. Pretty unique rack, 8 on one side 4 on the other. Best part is my son is ready to rock one himself now. Told him he has to wait 8 years...talk about a major buzz kill for the youngster.

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
