[JBone]

hahahahahaha! Thats a cabin photo for sure:)

[bigbucks]

Yes, that's not a very big fawn. Good shooting though...

[CC Hurl]

Holding up to my end of the bargain M&M. My monster from a few years back. Ya, it wasn't that big but a great time it was. Sat for about an hour took a few pics of this one on hoof and then tagged it 10 minutes later. Got home and took a little grief from my wife until she had the loins for breakfast. The way I see it, you have to catch allot of fish to even equal the weight of meat you have there. Price of meat these day's could not buy what you have there for $15.00.

As stated here before... a successful hunt is different for all of us. And for some of us it changes as we mature into this great opportunity.

Glad to see you posted your pic.

[Scoot]

Great post, CC! I couldn't agree more and I'm glad the pics are posted. Not every deer I've shot was a 30 pointer (OK, none of them were...), but I took no shame in shooting them. Like you said- they sure taste good!!!

[monstermoose78]

Thanks CC and Scoot!

[eyeguy 54]

venny is good no matter the size of the hoof. :>) congrats on the first with the X bow.

I took this pic while bowhunting in stand. I could hear something in the slash pile for a while, and out came this bobcat.

This is heading to the stand two winters ago....happy and mad at the same time!

Here is a hunting pic. My wife's 2012 MN archery buck! Best deer hunt for me ever!

Cool bobcat pic

[Scoot]

Hi All! Just a quick reminder that if you've got pictures to post, be sure to get them up soon. The contest is coming to a close at the end of Dec. Once Jan 1 rolls around, no more pics can be entered and we'll get to work judging the pictures and getting prizes out after that.

[bigbucks]

Cool fawn pics, I've shot lots of them, but I still give a guy grief when he shoots a really small one. I did it with the rifle this year. It's more like how were we not able to see how small that one was, I don't know. Um, darn that's tasty.

[hert2005]

Northwoods, that's a real trophy, and the deer is nice too.

I had a great time this season scouting new areas and logging hours in the field. On two occassions, I had the fortune of seeing trophy bucks but they never presented a shot. My wife and daughter enjoy venison too so with the season winding down I harvested a nice mature doe. 12.26.12

[JBone]

Cool Pics! Enjoy the Venison

[paceman]

Arrived at my stand for the last hunt Saturday afternoon. Lots of tracks in area. Had 2 fawns walk by just before dark. Beautiful afternoon.

[Scoot]

Thanks to all who submitted a picture. We're not taking any more entries at this point and the judging has started. I don't have a timeline for when it'll be complete and when final decisions have been made, but as soon as it's done, I'll let you know who the winners are and what the final prizes are.

[bmc]

Thanks again for putting this contest together Scoot!

Looking forward to see the end results!!

[Scoot]

Judging is wrapping up pretty quickly. However, I've got a bunch going on at work and my mom is having some health problems. I'll get the prizes and recipients all figured out as soon as I can, but it may take a few days for me to get my ducks in a row. Sorry for the hold up- nothing I can do about it right now. Hopefully early next week I'll get it all dealt with and announce the winners and prizes.
