Here is picture of 3.5 deer in Northen MI




Here is another, this guy is a monsters for this area, we found him dead. I am thinking 4.5+

In side the cabin

Another 3.5 shot in 88

Your grandpa needed a pickup or a dump truck! AHHH the good old days, those are neat pics Gary.

Now that is what I'm talkin about. Deer pics, enough with the BS.

Not a deer but I sure had a blast huntin these critters in '05. Got this bad boy in New Mexico. I gotta do that again sometime. Like huntin 1000 pound turkeys with them bugleing all around you.

Here is my doe from my backyard last year. Usually kill a few of these in my subdivision every year. The neighbors want meto kill all of them. Can't raise a garden or flowers for the deer.

Awesome pics guys...

Hey guys, just checking in...been real busy these last couple days. I got stands and ground blinds set and built, I'm ready to rock come this Thursday. Gonna be hunting three different spots... (counties) the first month of the season. I dont think I have ever went into a season feeling so good about what's to come. Theevenings are finallyicooling off and its beginning to feel like opening day should! My brother will be up to bowhunt whitetails/elk with me for 4 days starting Thursday. Had a bear in my apple tree last night at dusk.

Gary, glad you guys made it back in one peace..sounds pretty wild. Nice pix John! Elk hunting is great isnt it! I sure am fortunate to live where I do ..elk and deer on the same mountains..The bulls are starting to squak here a bit.

I start back to work Tuesday. So, I will be on heremore during the dayand much less at night. I made a short 7 hour jaunt friday down to watch my nephew play football. He's the starting QB for Weiser Idaho..he had a great game, scored two on the ground and threw for 2 more..theywon 46-19..He's a Jr (stud athlete) better yet a great kidand a mule deer killing machine to boot!

Hiawatha is coming Sept 15th for a week of archery elk.. I'd really like to have a buck down before he gets here. Calm before the storm right now...I cant stop thinking bout opening day. the lopers are already a distant memory. Whitetails have the effect on me.. I am 99% sure I will be hunting the stretch buck opening morning and the big 4x5 opening evening... Then over the Labor day weekend I am gonna spend sometime in on the long browtined bucks mountain. I will buy a second tag if there are any left over come August 30th. should be..

I am really looking forward to this season...

Man I wish my season opened this week. I got the fever, BAAAAD.

Sure hope you can get us on the board early, in a big way Troy. It would be nice to be on a first place team. Sounds like you got a good game plan. Hope your weather cooperates for the hunts you have planned. Good Luck!

Great pics guys. I can't wait til this weekend. Suppose to start Saturday but my dad needs help with some trenching. It's a small yard so I hope to get home in time to get out that evening. Then I'm off work to hunt until the 10th !

Nice pics guys! I've got nothing to show to fire up the team. [&:] Gonna be putting up some
game cams (finally) this weekend. Our season won't start for a month after that.

Just found out that we are clear cutting 40 acres of unproductive (for deer habitat) old hardwoods
in the next couple weeks. It is bordered on the West by a canal and a mix of woods and pasture,
on the south by 100 acres of woods, on the East by a 40 acre strip of woods, and on the north
bya clover plot and some
young mitigation land. Do you guys have any ideas on how to take advantage of this. Also,
when cutting, we are going to mark and leave most of the good oaks, but should we leave a strip of
woods in the middle? I'm going to try to post a pic of the tract later.
