scotttimm: "Yesterday morning, Northeast Iowa. Archery shop thinks he'll go between 170-180. Always hunt with my daughter, she missed her chance but I stuck mine, man do we love spending time together in the woods. Good luck to all you other hunters out there! 
"
My favorite times were with my older daughter hunting and fishing. She got a couple deer and caught tons of fish. My younger daughter is trying to position herself to be able to do some of that but her and I focused on the house while she was here. Daughters...sons... hunting and fishing is a great way to teach some good life lessons while building a special bond.
We’re doing terrible in our area!

Hunting by Cook this year for the first time with a friend. He recently bought a cabin the was moved in from the BWCA years ago...Ely resort I believe. I got my buck early the first morning. It Has been really cold the last couple of days. 30 degrees later this week will feel balmy. It’s been fun hunting something different than what I am used to.

I think there are plenty of deer. Between the cold on the full moon just not a lot of movement during the daylight hours. We see lots of fresh tracks left overnight and they are there at night on the trail cams. The were no shots heard tonight for the last 3 hours of the day. Found this old relic deep in the woods while exploring today.

I had a pack of coyotes completely consume a deer over night.
Luckily you were able to recover as much as you did.

Busy week, just seeing this now, some really nice deer in here!
opening morning I saw 40+deer within 100yds of the stand by 10:30 when I got down to go get mine (took him at about 9) Just picked him up from the processor on Wednesday, he was a good size boy, ended up with 93lbs of boneless meat.
OldTripper: "
It's a Radical Firearms upper in 300 Blackout and a Rock River lower.
It's not as quiet as you might think. You still hear the supersonic crack of the bullet. My buddy heard me shoot and was about 75 yards away.
For the little Blackout round the deer was double lunged and only walked about 15-20 feet after the shot. "
I shoot in a shotgun and pistol zone and I’m seriously considering shooting my Noveske 300blk pistol, it’s damn accurate and although I haven’t got the final ballistics on hand I suspect it will be around 80-85% of the energy my slug gun has @ 100 yds but more reliable in the accuracy department.
What are you running for a load? What is your barrel length and any idea on velocities you are seeing?

Harv: " 
8 pointer up in the Ely area; 7:30 yesterday (Sunday 11/17) morning. "
Nice deer, Always liked the big woods hunting.
I hunted down the Wolf lake road in 1969 and shot one of my biggest bucks ever.
Than not sure if it was 1976 or 77(around than) I hunted past the wolf lake road gate and up the logging road to Phantom lake and north.
I was walking thru a semi grown cutting and all over there were rubs on trees all over-Moose. About a hour later I hear this clanging of antlers hitting trees and brush. Here walks out the 3 biggest moose I ever had seen-all had like a double shovel like a monster Alaska moose would have there. It was quite a spectacle.
