I Maxed Out in Minnesota (Pics)

Limit is 5 deer in Minnesota in the area I hunted - I maxed out by Tuesday morning scoring a nice 8 pointer on the last morning.

My buddies didn't want to get out of bed to hunt, I asked one if he wanted me to shoot his buck for him or if he wanted to get up and hunt. He replied, "no go ahead, I'll help you drag him out." (Not using his tag, just going near the stand he was going to hunt)

Well, about 45 min after being in the stand, I heard some commotion behind me, looked back and a decent buck was behind me - I didn't see the 2 does he was following (they were only 20 yards behind me).

Finally after they passed and the buck was 5 feet from my urine-soaked drag rag, I turned to my left and put a nice shot on him with the ol' 30-06 Remington Woodsmaster semi-auto.

I couldn't shoot the 2 does since I had maxed out already.

Our 2008 Hunting Camp - It was great!! Most of the guys are currently serving or have served in the Military (including me)

Well, you did a ton better than me.

Went out all last weekend and didn't see a single deer. That was by little falls. Went out Tuesday and didn't see anything.

This weekend I traveled 180 miles north to Effie hoping to score a monster but didn't see a thing. I get back this evening and we drive my g/f dad little grass/brush area. They jump up 2 does, they run in front of me about 10 yards and I miss with every shot I took. Went back and checked the sighting of my gun, off by a mile.

We went hiking this weekend through some very thick brush and I think it got knocked lose or something.
