Only way I go to Red's is if someone is staying at my place that hasn't been there before. Otherwise, I prefer to steer clear.

It does have the potential to get a little rowdy when the place is running on all eight.

I have the smallest one. 4,000 to 12,000. We turn it down to the lowest setting at night. Keeps the cook tent above freezing and warms up quick.

Here is what we are after..

During bear and deer season, it sports an intimate and uncanny resemblance to the movie Deliverance.

I like that heavy 8

That's not the place on "E" is it?

I've only been there on Friday night in October. There was a chill in the air, the place was packed, beer was flowing and the testosterone was high. Have to admit there was more electricity in the air than that generated by the power company.

Combine it all with competition for a couple of the local gals and it does get interesting.

Wow. I hunt up there too. The only way I'd compete for the local gals is if I was....well, local.

Every once in a while there is a looker.

Really not any different than a 1000 other back woods joints, when one walks in a stranger. Pay attention and read sign as many say here and things are usually good.

Tom, Red's is on highway W between Phillips and Winter.
I agree with Scott on the movie "Deliverance".

Good to know. I'll have to NOT check it out.

Here is another one will be looking for this season.

That one's a dandy TJAY!

What type of camera are you using? I really like the dark horns those bucks have on em.

The cameras a inexpensive Moultrie D-40s. They were purchased on sale for 75$ each. All the older deer in the area have dark horns like that. It is hard to tell but these deer are all 200+ pounds.

Here was our opening weekend camp. It was a hell of a lot nice than sleeping in the usual horse trailer!

It's not hard to tell. I know the area you hunt. I've seen em.

I think they're like that along the whole "shore" area. Even near Duluth. You get a 3.5 yo, and your getting into the 200# range.

I shot one on the range a number of years ago that was #227 dressed at 4.5. That's pretty big for the area I was in, and oddly, he had a big rack too which isn't often the case there.

The heaviest deer I have shot came from up there. A huge body 8 pointer. It dressed out over 220 lbs. I will try to post a picture of it. I will PM you our location up there so you can stop by if you get a chance, since you will be up that way opening weekend.

I'll give it a shot.
