Youth Target

Looking for a BIG gift for an archery loving child?  We have a massive, yet lightweight target in stock.  It is 33"x12.75"x35.5" with a FITA face.  It's portable with grommets for hanging & has easy arrow removal.  The poundage capability is only 30 or under, so it's best for the younger shooters.  Small kids are more likely to miss the bale, so the large targets keep you from losing all the arrows in the backyard! 

Locked Bucks

This is an amazing video of some antler locked bucks in Iowa.   Can you imagine such an occurrence??? WOW! 
North American Whitetails

Every year someone stumbles on locked bucks in the woods.  Last year, these big boys were discovered in Minnesota:

8 & 23 Pointer




I think once our tags are filled, I'd like to start wandering the woods!  You never know what you'll find!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

MN Piebald

Just wanted to share a link with you.  You may have seen it in the Outdoor News.  An oddly patterned deer was shot by a man on November 5. 

Brainard Dispatch

Slow Rut?

I've heard from a lot of people that the season is late or slow this year.  The windy opener weekend had a huge effect on movement.  DNR-Opener report 

We're still seeing some bucks shot, here & there.   Hang in there folks, it's all about being in the right place at the right time!

First off, look at this dandy airport buck!  The 17 pointer will score around 190!

Here's a video of a 10 pointer on Youtube. Seems like a dedicated young hunter & deserves some "hits".

Are you only bow hunting this year, despite all the gun toting Minnesotans? Jason & I are "keepin' it close"  this year.  It's not easy snagging a buck in bow range.  We are a minority! bowhunting.com poll

  Here are a few "Bow Only" tips: Factoidz

Take these refresher tips on hunting the RUT from myabcsportszone to heart. 

 We might have heard them a million times, but  often forget & get desperate.

Moultrie Moments

The last batch of trail camera pictures were only slightly interesting.  We had a mystery deer, with some messed up back fur.

I thought it had ticks, but Jason claims it could be sap.  What do you think?

This cruisin' buck also used the beaver dam as a shortcut across the lakes.  What do you suppose he sees back there?  I think he's a 7 pointer, but it's hard to tell.



Ripley Report

Camp Ripley military base is the largest managed archery hunt around.  You may have seen a photo floating around via cell phone text forwards & online.  It was this lucky Pine City man that scored big!  He had to fill his buddies tag when the second dandy buck was taken.




Star Tribune

 The Outdoor News has a good article of details on the weather, statistics and percentages.  It sounds like the second weekend hunt was a bust.  Folks could shoot up to two deer, using an antlerless bonus tag.

The DNR reports another good year.
