2010 Minnesota Whitetail
« on: November 27, 2010, 03:19:59 PM »
My buddy has family with a 300 acre farm in Minnesota we are able to hunt. This was my second year there but my first whitetail. Not too much of a story, just lots of cold days sitting in a tree stand or ground blind. On the 4th day it was below zero with the wind chill when I was sitting in a ground blind at the corner of a plowed corn field when I saw this buck come trotting along about 200 yards out. I waited until he slowed and turned broadside and shot him about 65 yards with a 12 gauge. Decent older buck with good mass, double eyeguards and 18 1/2" wide. Teeth were wore down and had a slight roman nose so looked to be an older buck. Pretty slow overall this year for by buddy and his family as we received a little bit of everything as far as weather.

The World Record White-Tail deer as far as weight goes was shot in Minnesota and it weighed 511 lbs.  :yike:

Thanks for the comments. Not sure what it weighed but not a huge body. I would guess 225-250 lbs.

Nice Buck!!  You can be very proud of a first whitetail like that!  I'm a Minnesota deer hunter on my way very soon to hunt for mule deer in Washington.  I've hunter mule deer with my bow, but have yet to get one.  I'm hoping rifle season in WA is going to be the difference.  Good hunting to you. ;)
