Nice buck! That deer is easily 165+ gross!

Posted

Chris Wallace at Wings n Things Taxidermy in Ham Lake must be fairly close to you. He can score it for you. I'm still confused which deer you are calling an ugly rack and 130 because it seems you are referencing the big one.

that deer's got to be pushing 200

Posted

200 would be a big stretch, but I'd wager he's close, if not slightly over 180. Have a local taxidermist come over and score him. Looks to be 24-26 inches wide at least! Let us know what you find out.

Congratulations to your Dad! That's a terrific story, and truly a buck of a lifetime! Perhaps you could convince the taxidermist to cut you a little deal on a nice horn mount, if money is a little too tight?

Great job what a beast

Posted

Congrats Gordie.

Handgun you need to get that thing scored it is HUGE and I would try and get a shoulder mount most people never see a deer that big.

My biggest deer to date. 5 1/2 days on stand with only 2 does then he steps out 20 yards from me like a ghost. He ended up dressing out at 210 and is an 11 pointer. Not sure if anyone is familiar with the Nashwauk area but its not on a regular basis you see deer this size so he is a true trophy in my eyes. full-28146-26310-2191.jpg

A lot of great bucks here.

The taxidermists should be busy!

Posted

Awesome deer guys!

Posted

ok guys,

my brother shot this beast yesterday morning at 8:30 a.m. on public land in southeast mn.

he was dogging a doe and chasing a couple of smaller bucks away from the doe, when my brother got a heart shot. ran 30 yrds and piled up.

what do you guys this guy would score? we had a little debate last night bout it. i am in no way a pro, this is the biggest deer ive seen in person. i was guessing 150 maybe pushing 160. what do you think.Not the widest rack or longest tines but has really good mass

see now this deer is more believeable to me to be a 150 class buck.. are you guys noting that it could be the pic making the deer look monsterous? plus me poppa is only 5'6'' 5'7''

Posted

Congrats ArcheryS. Lots of good bucks showing up on here this week. I have one to add once i get some better pics. Was to late yesterday evening to get any good ones.

Handgunner, not sure what your judging your dads buck by but it is one of the nicest that's has been posted on here all season. Anyone would be proud to tag it I assure you.

Posted

chocolab...sweet buck. love the mass. congrats. whitewater?

Posted

Looks like it should net in the low 140's. Heck of an 8 pt.

Posted

thanks tengy, my bro was pretty stoked.caped it last night and took it to the taxidermist today. This buck was taken down by the lanesboro area.

Posted

Handgunner,

There have been at least two responders that regularly measure antlers every year that have called your poppa's out as a stud. They're basing it off looking at the deer itself more than your poppa. It's big! grin And I think it's a beautiful rack. Even if you can't afford a shoulder mount this year you can plaque mount it and get one in a few years if you want it. Not saying you need it but if ever there was a desire to have one by your family I don't know if you'll have a better specimen to do it with.

Several really nice deer! Congrats guys!! cool

Posted

alright guys I'll take it LOL its just so hard to believe a buck like that could exist in our area. He must be one of the few. Sheeeeeeshhhhhhhh man thats some luck on both my dad and I since we both even were able to spot it at shooting range just that for me he was running and stopped for me pops HA! always thaught these kind of deer where like one in a million nowadays to get espicialy on public land that we hunt 2 weekends a year and everyone else hunts it more than we do and uses our stand spots!

Posted

He's not as big as some on here but I have to give respect to this guy I took on friday afternoon. I thought he was an older deer when I shot. Still a respectable buck I just wish I had let him go for another year or two.

Congrats to your son eyeguy2!

Give him a big thumbs up from me eyeguy!!

Great pics everyone. I am happy to say my daughter took her first deer Friday afternoon about 10 minutes to 5. She made a perfect double lung shot at about 80 yards. She was able to follow the blood trail 20 or 30 yards down the logging trail. The deer was found just off the trail, in some tall swamp grass,

      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      👍 when/if i get drawn.....which i should know about june 1 we'll get in touch........both my kid and myself should get drawn.   and thanks.........with 6 preference points............i think are odds are pretty good.............there giving out 375 permits......and since we had yogi and booboo destroy my birdfeeders last spring......🙄

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?     
    • Mike89
      but if he really wants I can change the date..  
    • Wanderer
      As soon as I started reading mind went to needles and seats.  You might want to try just replacing those first?  I’ve only done that once before in my life but it made the difference.  A carb refresh in 8,000 miles seems reasonable.
    • Wanderer
      Good luck smurfy!  On getting drawn, I mean!   If it comes down to it, I know a guy that might be interested in a nice hide.
    • JerkinLips
      My 30 year-old Indy 500 (over 8,000 miles) has been having a mid-range bog for many years now.  It is worse on warm days and when the engine is warmer.  The sled runs fine up to about 1/4 throttle, then runs extremely rich up to 3/4 throttle.  The spark plugs are dark brown (better brown than down?) but not saturated.  8 years ago I moved the clips on the jet needles from the 3rd to the 2nd groove to lean the mixture and it helped for a while.   Should I move the clips to the top groove (temporary solution)? Could the jet needles, needle jets, and/or the main jets be warn and need replacement?   Don't think I will have time to tear the carbs apart this season for a rebuild so I may just band-aid the problem.
    • JerkinLips
      I think that Mike89 picked April 26 two hours before you, jparrucci.  Is that correct Mike89?
    • leech~~
      My last hide I gave to my Taxidermist friend to make what ever he liked out of it.   I've got a few fun Bear hunt stories to be told.  All 3 of us our first year stupidly tracking a blood trail in the dark together and getting lost, luckily smelled the bait making circles and got out. 🫣 Flash lights dying, deep in a swamp following a blood trail in the dark, the one who stayed at the bait called us back in!  We learned our second bear! Lol. 😞  Downing a wounded charging bear with the last bullet when tracking, no lie! 😬    Have had my fun!  🥳
