Well, I had a quick little preview this weekend in Clearwater county Minnesota. The pic above is the spike buck that our visiting Norwegian friend Bijorn-olaf shot. I had ample opportunity to take an identical one on the first morning, but I got greedy and by the time I had changed my mind and decided to shoot it, he was 10 feet away and six feet below me to the wrong side. My hood caught on a dead twig as I moved to aim the 'ol lever gun at it and... SNAP... and that deer was hopping around like a scared jackrabbit. Later that day I shot a button buck with the trusty .270 about two seconds after it showed its vitals out from the trees. It was fun, but strange to hunt deer in trees rather than prairie!

Hopefully we can add a few pictures to the collection this next week.
Both deer stands are operational, we still have to use a ladder for one, as the stairs are still in the design stage, about 3 hours work to have them completed also.
