IT'S A BIGGIE!

A LUCKY(SKILLED) 12 YEAR OLD SHOT A HUGE

SCENES FROM CAMP

BACK TO REALITY FOR JASON.
HE NO LONGER HAS OODLES OF TIME OFF.
HERE ARE A FEW PICS FROM OUR HUNTING
UP NORTH DURING RIFLE SEASON.
 
 
HERE'S THE "POWER LINE" STYLE SHOOTING LANES
VIEWED FROM MY NEW CUSHY HEATED TOWER STAND.
 
 
ON THE NEARBY STATE LAND...
OUR PLAN TO INTERCEPT THE BUCK JASON SAW
TWICE
BY THE LARGE PINES ON THE LEFT
AS HE CROSSED TO THE SPRUCE POINT ON RIGHT:
 
FAILED
 
HE EITHER OUTSMARTED US
OR IS IN SOMEONE ELSE'S FREEZER.
JASON IS CONVINCED THE PINE ISLAND
 IN THE SWAMP IS THE BUCKS "HOME".
 
KIND OF HARD TO SHOOT A BUCK
224 YARDS (RANGED) AWAY WITH HIS BOW.
I PARKED IT ON THE GROUND
 WITH MY RIFLE HALF WAY IN BETWEEN JASON'S STAND
 & THE SIGHTING LOCATION.
 
 
"THE TUNDRA"
OUR NEW STAND LOCATION
SHOWING THE LAY OF OUR PROPERTY
FROM IT'S LOWEST POINT.
 
 
WATCHED A LOT OF BIRDS FROM THE STAND.
 
 
PRESTON SHOT THIS NICE FORK WITH MY FATHER'S 308.
HE EARNED THAT BUCK, GETTING IT THE LAST WEEKEND.
 
 
JASON WAS PRETTY PROUD.
PRESTON HAS SHOT 3 BUCKS, 3 YEARS IN A ROW NOW.
SPIKE, 7, 4.

MN WOLF HUNT

I NEVER TIRE HEARING ABOUT THE MINNESOTA WOLF HUNT!
IT'S FASCINATING TO THINK WHAT CAN BE LEARNED
 FROM OUR PIONEER SEASON OF WOLF HUNTING HERE IN THE STATE.
 
THE FOCUS IS AN EFFORT TO...
 
startribune
CONGRATS TO THE NEW FACE OF WOLF HUNTING!
ABOVE IS GARRETT M.
HE'S FEATURED IN THE OUTDOOR NEWS.
THIS IS A HISTORIC MOMENT.

SOCIAL MEDIA TO CONSIDER:
 
FOR THE HUNT~ HUNTWOLVES.COM
THEY'VE DUBBED THE WOLF THE "NEWEST GAME SPECIES"
 
AVIDLY AGAINST THE HUNT~HOWLINGWOLVES.COM
THEIR "FACTS" STATE THAT ONLY 91 CONFIRMED
CASES OF LIVESTOCK WERE KILLED IN 2011.
MY MOM'S COUSIN LOST 1O CALVES THIS SPRING.
DO FARMERS EVEN BOTHER CLAIMING LOSSES?
10 CALVES ARE WORTH A LOT OF MONEY.
 
WANT TO READ MORE?
 
AS OF NOV. 6TH,
69 WOLVES
HAVE BEEN TAKEN.

HERE IS A QUESTION THAT I WAS PONDERING:
DID THE DNR CONSIDER THE HUNT MORE BECAUSE
OF PRESSURE FROM LIVESTOCK FARMERS
OR WERE THE LOOKING FOR INCOME?
IS THE DNR'S AMBITION SOLELY FOR THE ANIMAL?
WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?
I SUPPORT THE HUNT, REGARDLESS OF THE POLITICS.
I STILL RESPECT WOLVES & THINK THEY'RE MAJESTIC,
JUST LIKE DEER.
