Lucky Twist

Post by MNbogboy » Fri Dec 09, 2011 9:29 pm

After a great hunt in WY for mule deer with lots of game seen, our MN & WI hunts were definitely tougher than usual with far less than normal game running around....However, all seasons ended with some bucks on the poles and meat in the freezers...But most of all the memories of family sharing time together....
The high note of all three hunts was sitting with my 11 year old grandson during a snow storm and watching him bag a beautiful doe with a perfect double lung shot at about 70 yards....
My three sons took 2 six-pointers and an 8 pt in MN while I got lucky with another 8 pt on my 10th day in the field....
WI produced the big doe for my Grandson, a nice 6 and 8 pt for my two son's that hunted in WI and I got real lucky and took another fine 8 pt with a 19" inside spread....
Our muzzle loader season is coming to an end this weekend so I hope to get out one more time and do a little scouting for next year....
Enclosed are a few pictures of this years hunts.....
Good Huntin Everybody,
Randy
