Yesterday morning in north central Minnesota

Got one this morning in my bare feet. Dog was looking out the window and got excited, so I snuck out the back door and made it count

My 11 year old son got his first bowkill 2 nights ago. 4th deer, but first one he ever shot at with his bow. Nice mature doe. Hit her behind the shoulder, but high, taking out the far lung and the major artery beneath the spine. He?s pulling about 40# and shooting the 1 3/4? swacker...

My boys have been doing some bass fishing tournaments this year for the first time. My 14 year old and his friend took 4th out of 20 boats and got their picture taken on stage with Al Lindner. The next day we took 23rd out of 96 in a high school FLW tournament. Saturday we had a small team...

Archery buck from 2011 in Colorado not sure where my field photos are, but he scores 167

I got mine yesterday morning. I had watched the Tom and hens go to their roosting area the night before. I snuck within 60 yards of his tree and staked out a lone hen decoy. A few soft calls, he eventually flew down, and I killed him less than 5 minutes after hitting the ground. It's the...

Our birds are just starting to disperse from winter flocks, so hunting is pretty hit and miss. Boys did manage to tag out 2nd and 3rd days of season on evening hunts. Not much gobbling or strutting, but I managed to call one back in after my younger son missed it at 20 yards.

We're still pulling ours through 30" of ice

This is my first and only elk, though I've bowhunted for them 4 times in 4 different states. It is really challenging to kill an elk with a bow when you're an easterner who only goes every few years.

We've had a good spring here in Minnesota, too. My 10 year old got his 4th turkey opening morning. 13 year old got his 7th bird second evening. Helped my buddy get his bird first evening of second season, and my wife, who has never hunted in her life, decided she wanted to turkey hunt and got...

My boys got a pile of big bluegills yesterday

I just saw the episode of eastmans where Dan pickar is bowhunting elk in Idaho. Within the show was a subscriber video of two guys hunting elk in Arizona. They shot two giants at or above 400". The second guy left his overnight, and when they recovered it, the first thing they did was waste...

My 8-year old son's opening evening turkeyIt weighed 23#10oz, had 10 1/4" beard and 1 1/8" spurs. He was with a hen, and called them 150 yards across a disked corn field for a 20 yard shot. He's 2 for 2 years now on mature toms. My 11-year old son got his bird on the second morning of his...

With spring in the air, I thought I'd send out an update in case any of you like looking at x-rays of twisted, disfigured limbs. Obviously, these are post surgery, the first being my right heel, and the second being my left ankle as viewed from my toes. The guy who runs the crematorium will...

picture says a thousand words

Hey guys, I read over ColoradoCowboys thread for a while, but didn't find the info I'm looking for, so I thought a new thread might get some good info. I shattered my left ankle on Monday, and the prospect of rebuilding the joint is very grim. There's just not enough bone or cartilage left to...

Here's a buck I got in Kansas on Nov. 11. Won't score much, but has 18 3/4" inside spread. My Dad and I hunted from 11/9 to 11/17, sunup to sundown and this was one of the best bucks we saw. Can't understand why we didn't see any bigger bucks, but I was happy to take this one. I also filled...

I'm not buying much hunting gear this year because I bought a cabin on an island in Canada.

Dink or not, I would have arrowed him if he'd been legal.

Probably not as excited as I was. The bird came to us on a string, and at 20 yards started half-strutting back and forth. We're in the blind, and Grayson is trying to swing the gun back and forth to get a bead, and I hit the slate to stop the tom. I said "You've got to shoot it now" He did...
