My brother had what use to be a 130" to 135" 9 point at 8 yards yesterday evening while out bow hunting. This guy lost both of his antlers In 2 days. He saw this same buck 2 days prior about 60 yards out from him chasing doe's. He had 2 different chances at this buck In early November but couldn't get a shot off. He did pass on him yesterday though being he lost his rack. By the looks of this buck I'd say he's a 3.5 year old. He'd go about 180lbs dressed. I saw this same buck while helping my brother put up a stand In October. Be careful If you are hunting In central to northern Minnesota. I wouldn't be pulling on a rack If you get one down. I've heard of a few other bucks dropping also around here.

By the way, the chase Is back up and going again around here. A few doe's that didn't get bred are coming Into estrus again. The doe fawns have been acting goofy also, there probably coming In also.
