Late Season MN 150 Gross
 

I 'm so pumped. The evening of the 17th I was blessed enough to one sit in a stand perched 20 ft up in -4 dergrees, then to have the opportunity to harvest a monster buck with my bow of all things.I was huntingSE MN. Around 4:16 pmdeer began to filter into the turnip field. I was too busy watching the does chase each other around. I stood up to get the blood moving and because I couldn't feel my toes anymore.I happened to glance behind meandI spotted two bucks heading rightat me. I had to grab my bow with a hand warmer becauseit was to cold to hold it without it. They turned onto a trail about 35 yards from me heading towards the field. I was set up 100 yds in the timber hoping to catch them before they made it to the field. Ok back to the story. I could see a small opening in the timber and drew back when the secondbuck walked into the opening I grunted and he stopped. I pressed the release and he did a 180 and ran about 50 yds and stood there for about 45 seconds. I thought I missed then I noticed his tail twitching vigorously. I knew this wasn't normal so I held out hope.

Now I'm trapped in my stand. The first buck is still standing there and I have about 15 does and fawns in the field so I couldn't get down. If I had, I justmessed that stand for good. I sat there re-playing the shot over and over in my head. I pulled my binos out and studied the snow for my arrow which I couldn't locate. Finally darkness arrived and I creeped outof my stand and went to the hotel where I barely slept.

The next morning I climbed back into my stand to locate the shooting lane. I got down and ran to it. I found BLOOD and hair. I think I remember yelling out loud. I followed his trail about 200 yds and there he lay. He was stiff as a board.

He grosseda whopping 150 inches by far the biggest buck I have ever had an opportunity to harvest.

RE: Late Season MN 150 Gross
 

Nice buck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SE MN is awesome..I took a nice 11 point on public land earler this year with my bow there. I hope TeeJay doesn't see your post...he is still buckless hunting the BIG WOODS where there a 90" -100" deer is trophy, and u are lucky 2 see one of those!!!!!!! He said I was going to see nothing but orientals running around with .22 rifles squirrel hunting and that hunting would suck on the public land I hunted....hmmm 11 point brutes really suck...and I never seen another hunter.Your deer is awesome and another example of SE MN. GORGEOUS COUNTRY 2!!!!

RE: Late Season MN 150 Gross

Awesome deer, congratulations

RE: Late Season MN 150 Gross
 

That is one heck of a Buck, and what a great story. Congrats on a well deserved Deer. I have been hunting in southeastern MN. myself and have been seeing very few Deer, lots and lots of tracks. It gets a little discouraging when your not seeing anything but a story like that and it pumps you right back up. Good luck on filling your Doe tag.

RE: Late Season MN 150 Gross
 

Well I guess when you only want a doe guess what shows up..........bucks. I had two 8's walk within 20 yds. What an experience to just be able to sit there and watch them without freaking out trying to get positioned for a shotCrabClaw. I've been seeing most of the bucks 150-200 yds off the fields. The two I saw tonight just ambled around til dark then made there way into the turnips. Thats how I got mine. Sitting in the timber getting them while their guard is down. Goodluck!

RE: Late Season MN 150 Gross
