Pictures, anyone?
« on: August 26, 2006, 07:26:11 PM »
Let's see some pictures of game taken in MN.  I think a bunch of cottontails are just as interesting a big buck, so post everything!  I'll try and scan in some pix tomorrow.   Be safe, and shoot straight   ;)

This is last years buck. I took it with an M38 Mosin-Nagant with a BSA red-dot scope. He snorted up a storm downwind after smelling our buckscent. An hour and a half later he walked into the bottom of the ravine my stand is above, and stared me down for over 5 minuted. He started to walk away and I picked a shooting lane and hit him good with a 203grn Silver Bear slug, and he ran. I hit him again in the very same entrance hole(luck) and he disappeared. He was 1 1/2 years old. This is the biggest buck I have had a shot at to date. Hoping for bigger next year.

Every deer we shoot with a rack goes on the wall at Dads. They are all special adventures. And I love eating them. Tasty, rewarding, nutritious, and priced just right.

USMC,  Nice to see people still using the older rifles to take deer.  Surely that is a good buck, it can be topped -- but it's bigger than what a lot of guys shoot.

Took this Minnesota donut blob 9-1-06. Got a hunting shack 50 miles north of Duluth. My buddy insisted on napping and his bear of course coming in then. Snooze you lose!!!!

USMC0332 where did you get the Mosin-Nagant? I've been wanting one.

It was ordered from either SOG or Century Arms. I have seen some good ones at Dunhams Sports. They frequently go on sale for $79. There is one in Duluth near Best Buy. I have bought surplus guns from Fleet Farm also. Nice Bear! All I have had on my bait is stinking coon.

USMC0332 picked a Mosin Nagant up today. Came from SOG. I'd upload a pic but says folder full?

Ever hear of peep sights by MOJO Sighting Systems. Only want $59.00 for rear peep sight. My eyes are not good thats why I went with longer barrel on M91/30.

I was thinking of using the same big round 203 gr Silver Bear slug you took last years buck with.

The Mojo sites are supposed to be very good. I have not seen one myself, but there is considerable talk about them on surplusrifle.com. I was considering using a Mables rear site with peep blade, or fabbing a peep on the original rear. I do not use notch and post sites worth a darn. I hope you enjoy this rifle as much as I do mine. Operating the safety becomes natural with practice. I use mine without thinking about it. I put the butt in the crook of my elbow for leverage. Fleet Farm sells brown bear ammo for $8 per box.

I did pick up 880 rnds of 7.62x54r 147gr FMJ for $90. Tuesday at Sportsmans Guide So St Paul. Hand buffing each round with a little Flitz metal polish. It was 1984 Albania production. Should last the life of the rifle.

$8.00 for soft point? Oh my I'll check it out. Just went by there yesterday on way back from Northern Hydraulics. The axle hub I purchased a month ago for deer trailer was wrong size. Now for new wiring front to rear.

Ive also been looking at the synthetic stock for the Mosin Nagant. I don't dare say that on the military rifle forum. Some of those guys can come unglued if you modify a military rifle at all. I have an M1 Garand I did put a fiberglass stock on and I love it. Some M1 guys on another web site forum flipped out when they found out.

But I'm using these peep sight military rifles as rainy day guns because they are designed to be torn down and hung over the wood stove to dry. And that's also why I like fiberglass. It wont swell in the rain.

http://www.rifle-stocks.com/  Makes Laminated stocks for most actions including M-Ns. http://www.boydboys.com/BrowseEbus/Riamosinnagant.asp  Has a reasonably priced Walnut replacement.
My M38 is very useable with the red-dot in the rain. Even wet I can see through it.

Which model did you buy? I also have a 91/30 long version.

Wolf Gold ammo in 180grn softpoint with brass reloadable cases is $9 or $10 per 20 at Cabelas. My carbine seems to like it.
I have not ordered dies or brass yet, but http://www.grafs.com/metallic/product/4649 sells it. The Lee dies come with .308 expander. I have heard that many of these rifles prefer .310, or .311. The RCBS dies come with expanders for both sizes.

 I love old guns and sporterize as I feel necessary. They are my guns, and I can still modify them to suit my purposes. There are millions of these guns around so it is not like changing the smile on the Mona Lisa. I would rather have a sporter '03 Springfield that my Grandpa hunted with than one he had standing in a closet as issued. Just my $0.02

I got the long barrel Mosin Nagant. I definately could tell when I cleaned the barrel with a new .30 cal brush it was a tad wider bore.

Also have an M1 Garand made in Feb 1942. I'm thinking it saw some action. It went across the Pacific and ended up in South Korea.

I wanted to take that bear on left with it but didn't happen for a couple of reasons. Maybe a deer this fall.

We're in an intensive block this year so they want us to take lots of deer. Problem is the old guy that lets us use his road and has a cabin half mile from us never shoots does. Dead set against it and is getting a little more vocal about it so we might just be limited to a buck each which is sporting but it would have been fun to take does with some of the older military weapons and open sights. 

I assume the DNR knows what they're doing and less deer in the deer yards up there helps them all survive better?

That is funny.  It just goes to show you that the dnr can do all that they can to manage the heards but it is much more difficult to change the "old timers" mind set.  It's not just the old timers but a lot of hunters think like that, which is why some areas have gone to the "earn a buck" program to make people take some does.

My first black powder buck last December 2005. Thirty nine yard shot. Used a patch and ball 1 in 60? twist Lyman Great Plains rifle. Good internal damage on both lungs.

Actually had this buck wander into cabin yard one hot August night (four months earlier) at sundown. I recognized him and his fork horns.

I hate to hog the forum with pic's but here's last years red fox blasted with the 25-06. I use a Schmidt and Bender 8X(extremely heavy outer cross hair) and can shoot without moonlight with the big 56mm objective.



I shoot over dead road kill deer as bait. I tried hand calling, electronic calling (still do ocassionally) but bait works far superior.

Your getting some nice racks there HuntingGuy. I've never gotten a rack as big as that 8 pointer and I've been hunting them every year since 1979.

No doubt in your mind that thing was a buck from even 200 yards out I bet. My heart would have been in my mouth pounding.

My buddies get the ocassional nice rack up north but most are little basket racks, stunted almost. I usually toss them and only one or two have made it inside the cabin for display or hanging coffee cups off of.

bf,

I was hunting a swamp area last year on Monday night.  After passing up a smaller buck in a stand on opening night, I was regretting it.  In the thought process of "What the hell were you thinking when you didn't shoot the other night" a couple does and fawns busted out of some thickets in the swamp.  I couldn't recall moving or doing anything to spook them.  I raised up my binoculars to look over, and another doe came running out of this large patch.  Looked to the left and saw the rack rising above the weed line.. Found the shoulder, and BOOOM.. I could see him slump, and it looked like he dropped right there.. These weeds were as tall as I am (6 ft.), so I couldn't find him.  I got back in the stand, found the spot once again where he should have been laying.. and there he was - about 100 yards from the stand.  I realized by the time I got the 4-wheeler in there to pick up the deer it would be dark, so tagged a trail from my stand to the buck with reflective clips.

I get to the ATV, and "gee gee gee gee" - the damn battery was dead.  I left the key turned in the ATV when I got into my stand.......... So I tried to manually start it with the pull, that didn't work.  I was forced to walk 3 miles or so back to camp to get help.  Needless to say I was ready for a big glass of water and some rest.  We rode back on another ATV, and the buck was hanging up by 8.  Went and picked up the other ATV a day later.

That buck there is the biggest i've had the opportunity to shoot.  If he had brow tines, he would be a 10pt. - but I definitely like the rarity of the rack.  Just a real magestic looking thing.

6 days.........................  ;)

6 for you 12 for me :'( Looks like a slight warm up and then high temps in the 30's for opener. Darn it I should have taken the 1st week!!!! >:(

A few years ago our buddy in a neighbor cabin (half a mile away) was sitting in his cabin at sundown on the last day of the season. He had filled all his tags. He looked out the window and saw the biggest deer he had ever seen in 70 years. "Rack looked like a caribou coming thru."

He could have taken it (used one of his kids tags) but let it go. No one ever took that deer the following year either. We would of heard.

I'm due for a big deer. I think we've gotten 3 the past 17 years up there. Two years ago I got my best rack yet up there, a nice 8 pointer, bit I got trumped by my brothers monster buck (pic attached) which had both sides of his rack busted off from fighting. Maybe it was fighting with "Caribou rack".


Poor quality pic but you get the size perspective of this big boy. My brother weighs 230 pounds in this pic. The buck must of had a nice wide rack before he busted them off fighting? The both of us could not budge him an inch until we gutted him. And we had all we could do after that.

I can only hope "Caribou rack" still around. I know after seeing monster buck above I believe. It's my turn dang it!!

Wait a minute, I just freaking realized the time frame above. Caribou rack seen 3 years ago half a mile away. My brother gets big buck 2 years ago with half it's rack gone. Don't tell me he got "Caribou rack" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

He has to be still out there  ??? ??? Even if I superimpose what I think shoud be my brothers bucks rack I wouldn't say it's bigger than the biggest racks we've gotten and our neighbor said it was the biggest rack he had EVER SEEN.

Naw...he's still out there ;)

No I 'm pretty sure I don't. I'll look. Here's the shot blown up 400x's.



 I was quite pissed at my brother for getting such a big deer. I tried not to show any reaction to the size. Like I say both sides of the rack were busted off. It was obviously a ten pointer, maybe twelve? The body was huge, certainly the biggest deer I've ever seen. I didn't even bother taking any pictures of my puny eight pointer next to his. 

It was my own fault. The hunt would have been over 24 hours earlier when I shot at my second buck (would have used my brothers tag) but I tried some fancy dude shooting thru the heart and shot low nicking the sternum. It would have been the end of his hunt, and a glorious end it would have been, filled with humilation. 

He had forgotten his ulcer medication and the only thing he could get where we were at in Northern MN was "Tums." He bought a big jumbo bottle of 300 and had to eat them like candy to get rid of the pain. Well...they have a stool softener in them and guess who was spending all his time in the outhouse with diarrhea? He couldn't even sit in a tree stand for 10 mins so he stayed in the cabin hunting out the window in between runs to the outhouse!!! Haaaaaaaaa!!! It was great.

Weds morning I race into the cabin yard with the ATV and my 8 pointer, circling, doing a victory lap, hooting and hollering. He came out to look, his face kind of contorted, and he ran to the outhouse. I hooted even more and almost lost control of the ATV.     

Well Thurs night after I missed the second buck he decided diarrhea or not he was going out to a tree stand Friday. I thought for sure he would crap in his pants out there so I encouraged him to go, younger brother that I am. Well 20 mins after he got out to a stand we call "Hunters Rock" he was cramping but he roughed it out and for some very strange reason he was able to stay the entire day out there and never came back in. The last 10 mins of shooting light the buck came through and he said he thought it was a spike. After the shot he confirmed it was a buck but never really looked closely at it because he was worried about finding his way back to the cabin in the dark and in fact got off the trail x3 he said.

He had forgotten a flashlight. And he knew I would have left him out there until about 10 p.m. just like he left me walk back to camp one night when we were bear hunting. It was a 6 mile walk, and when I hit camp he announces, "I was just about ready to go look for you."

Anyway when I saw his deer I told him, "That thing don't even weigh 200 pounds!" I just kept playing down the size even though I  knew it was big. The only good thing is he got scope bite from the 30-06 and was bleeding pretty good when he got back to the cabin all excited and out of breath. I had big 8x10's made up and made sure the boys at his workplace got copies to post around!! What are younger brothers for!! ::)


                                                Poopy pants with scope bite

Here's a slightly better shot of his deer. The original pic is 35mm film and I'm taking close ups with the digital, so poor quality.

LOL!!!!!!...... Bf, that sounds so close to the crap that goes on where we're at.  The second someone shoots a buck worth mentioning, I all of a sudden take a "dislike" to them the rest of the week..  ;D  I don't mean to sound like a greedy B*#&ard, but I'd like to shoot a buck like some of those guys shoot.  I cringe when I hear a gunshot go off, sometimes we are only 400-500yds apart and it wakes us up when someone shoots.. Everyone else I hunt with has a pretty strict standard for what they shoot, along with myself, so when the gun does go off.. It's a B&C!

That was just too funny.. Your "would have left him out there til 10pm" bout made me fall off the chair.  Your bro has some nice battle wounds from that one!

Does the buck have browtines, are they broken off?  I can't tell on the picture.  You orta get a pic of the rack the next time you are up there.. I'd like to see it!

I think it did have browtines. I'll have to look in the safe and dig through the photographs. I'd kind of like to know from our old buddy "Corky" up there if he thinks the deer was the buck he called "Caribou Buck".

The rack was not as tall as yours, just would have been wide from what I remember.

Yaaa my brother brags up whatever he shoots and you hear the same story about 8 times a day. Gets real old by end of the week. Last year he "accidently" filled both his intensive doe tags with one shot. "Corky" doesn't like anyone shooting does. I told my brother "Keep your trap shut about shooting those two doe." We were invited down for steak and salad at "Corkys" cabin at the end of the week and blab mouth is bragging not even 30 seconds inside the door. I didn't even have my coat off yet.

One of the other guys I own the rat shack with was nortorious for getting his buck by 6:30 a.m. on the opener for years on end, and always seemed to get the biggest buck. Well his luck finally ran out and he's been skunked couple times now.

And now the loggers cleared off about 80 acres to his south not 100 yards from his stand. Not certain what it will do for him good or bad. It was a natural runway for them to go down into the cedar swamp and produced some nice bucks over the years. One year we took 3 bucks from that stand within a week.

I reactivated an old stand next to the new loggers clearing. I'm only 75 yards from it and I'm hoping they skirt along the edge as they move through, avoiding the logging area.

Attached pic shows a partially finished shooting lane I was working on couple of weeks ago. You can just make the stand out. I've been using a portable for years now but last year I slipped about 30 feet up and slammed hard into the metal on the stand to keep from falling and almost broke a rib or two. It hurt something fierce, I cried out.

So gonna play it safe, only half the distance up, and three walls around me.

Oh yaaa...and maybe stop for a little lick of salt off the salt block.

Old "corky" told me to experiment with my bear bacon cookers and doe scent. (Those gizmo's I made using a candle to cook off bacon).


Jury rigged on a pulley to pull back into stand to check bacon, candle, etcetera. Will have to raise pot just a tad to keep from burning deer scent.

I've never had any luck with doe scent to my knowledge. And it was only 2 years ago I finally got a buck definitely in the rut showing rut behavior (caution to the wind) come in an hour after a doe obviously following her every step, nose to the ground.

I pulled up and held right between two trees on the course she had wandered by on. That was the ATV victory lap 8 pointer in above "poopy pants" story.
