Here's a couple of pictures. I didnt' take the time to set up and take pictures of myself. It was too warm, and I was too concerned with how I was going to get the buck out of the woods by myself.
It's 100 miles from my house. I left the house at 3:30 just to make sure I was in the stand in time. I got in the stand at 5:30am. Rattled at 6:00, 6:45 and then again at 7:30. On the third sequence I could hear a deer breaking all kind of sticks behind me and to my left but it never came out of the woods into the cutting. A few minutes later and this buck showed up, directly to my right. 50 yard shot with the .338 and I anchored him there. Thank goodness too! Like I said, not the highest scoring, but he dressed out at 208lbs. I had never hunted MN before. This was a new state and new area to me. I scouted it 3 weeks ago, hung a stand two weeks ago, and sat there for the first time this morning.
