Took some time to fill tags over the last few weeks. On Christmas Eve, I shot a doe and an 8-point in MI.

On New Years day I shot a 6-point in IN. He was 3 1/2 years old. Kind of nice for a 6-point.

Tonight was the last night of the season in IN and finished up with a good shot on a big doe. While dragging her out of the woods I was planning out stand locations for next year. I love hunting whitetails.

Four deer in a little over a week? Fun for sure...and freezer full of venison as well. Pretty hard to top that. Congrats.

Yep, the freezer is now full again mate. I bet you had you boots on for that hunt with all that snow about!

Well done mate, well done.

Mike, It is a 66", 70# @ 28", all Osage lam PLX td with a piece of cocobolo in the riser. The osage they used was dark and grainy when I received it. It is a good shooter. I got it in September right before we filmed my segment for MBB3. Shot 10 whitetails with it this year. I think I'll keep shooting it for awhile

Scott, 28 1/2" Beman ICS 340, fletched with 4 4" parabolic feathers and tipped with Wensel Woodsmans and Zwickey No Mercys. Total arrow weight around 600 grains.

Congrats Denny on a great year. Looking forward to the release of MBB3. I was hoping I'd get to see you shooting on this one.

Congrats on the deer. Nice bucks, and those does look enormous. How much did they weigh??

Dsturgisjr · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2009, 01:21:00 AM »

Mark, I didn't weigh any of the deer. Both does were the ones with big long heads though. The ones that blow at you when you are trying to get a buck.

The 8-point was chasing a doe when I shot him and I saw a lot of rutting activity in IN also. Thr night I shot the 6-point I had 40+ deer go by my treestand - most in shooting range. Had a 140 class 8-point walk right by. He was one of the guys I'd been after all season. Too bad he had already shed one side. It made me sick

He'll be bigger next year I hope. Also saw a small 8-pointer that had shed one side and another buck that had lost both sides. Some of my buddies have commented on seeing a few shed bucks already also and when I checked in the deer the ranger said some guy had checked in a shed buck that morning.

Denny....a fine end to the year !!!
Great looking bow by the way....Hoping that 2009 leads to those bucks walking past your stand before they have shed.....
well done mate.
cheers
Ben

Denny,

Funny thing, I had just watched one of your old videos just before I saw this thread. It was Shooting Instinctively, Better Than Ever II. What ever happened to Dan Bertlan?

Good for you on your deer harvests!
By the way, I bought one of those quivers from Safari Tuff. Super product!
