2022 ND archery buck

2020 ND archery buck, this one is my favorite ND buck. So much character in his antlers, huge body and head, just a dominate old herd buck with a broken G2.

2019 ND archery buck
Probably my most memorable packout. 1 trip, 5.5 miles to the truck, not a stitch of wind, snow flakes slowly spiraling to the ground and pitch black out. Listened to the coyotes howl for 3 hours on the hike back. Core memory for me.




2019 and 2020 teeth comparison. 2019 jaw is in front and on right.

Big game bio in ND says my 2020 buck is 5.5-6.5 and my 2019 is 3.5. I did not send teeth in for lab analysis.

Our 3 month old baby didn't keep my wife from partaking in rifle deer season! My mother-in-law got to town at 3:15 to help baby sit. My wife climbed into the blind at 4pm. The buck hit the ground at 4:35pm.

Edit: Also worth mentioning is the pumping that was taking place during the hunt

Hahaha this resonates with me on so many levels (have two little ones with number 3 due in a matter of weeks). Good for y’all!

Reminds me of the deer I drug my wife out to kill a few years ago over Thanksgiving. Grandma watched the baby, wife sat a grand total of maybe 1 hour, and an old 8 point buck followed us back to the house.
