That first pic deer does look nice i know some guys would think its no big deal, but up in northern Minnesota big woods, big swamps no food plots. We get excited when we see something like that....... Don't sell yourself short. That first buck is a big'un. Real big. Too big to drag yourself big. I'm tellin ya da troof!

I'm taking mine with me this year and he's 4, we'll be in a ground blind so hopefully that helps with noise/movement on his part. he's been begging me to go, so I decided to get a ground blind and take him. I'm figuring it will be a deer watching trip, with the likelihood of putting one down being low, but you never know.

Finally got the culvert open. Took a 12 foot homemade rake and a lot of hard work, but we did it. You should have seen the s#@t fly when we punched through.
We dropped the water level over a foot in 24 hours.
We were 3 very tired old guys when we finished. Next step is to repair/improve the road and either replace the existing culvert with a larger one or to build a bridge over the creek.

Just a friendly reminder Ryan because I'm not sure its SD law or not but remember to throw something orange on the exposed sides of that blind. Especially in a (more) open country rifle zone. And Good Luck too!!

Whether it is to be a bridge or a culvert, can I suggest pre-planting your demolition charges for future beaver intrusions? That is a BIG buck with the North Country body style and all.

You need a gate to keep the beavers at bay.

The coat rack and the secretary will never be the same. Apparently, the rut hasn't completely started here yet.

I don't know about that T, my youngest and our lab have been headbutting like crazy the last couple days and tearing up the lawn like you would not believe... And with the amount of bathroom cleaning I have been doing of late seems like they don't seem to care where they make their scrapes dangit...
