That is one heck of a buck. Congrats!
I'm going this weekend. Willing to give up any good gps coordinates?hehe. I got a decent 8pt there last year, he was the only deer I saw that weekend.

It's on a military base in central minnesota. they open it up for bowhunters for two different 2 day hunts in late october. each hunt is 2250 (i think???) people. that is essentially (one small yourth hunt and one vets hunt) the only time these deer are hunted so there are plenty of mature deer. everyone i hunted with last year saw bigger bucks then the 100" 8 point i got.
i leave friday AM for the saturday/sunday hunt. i can't wait!!!!
