Some eastern whitetail pics while we wait.....

Had a heck of a year up here in ND.  I was able to draw a muzzleloader tag here after a 10 year wait.  In ND an archery tag is OTC, rifle are by draw but I’m able to get a landowner tag and muzzy is draw.  They only give out 400 muzzy tags statewide so it’s a fun hunt.  My goal was to kill 3 bucks and hopefully do it all on our own land.  Ended up killing my target buck with my bow on opening night.  My dad sat in the blind with me which was a lot of fun.  Rifle and muzzy were filled as well with bucks we were hoping to get as they were 7.5 and 6.5 yr olds respectively.  Also my buddy was able to kill a piebald doe that showed up on our place this fall.  Pretty great fall all and all up here!!  Last pic is a cool non typical buck that ended up getting killed on some neighboring ground after putting the slip on me a few times.  He was living more or less in my backyard all summer but started hanging out on some adjacent public after opener and that’s where he got killed.

Great bucks and awesome season. Ive always thought it would be cool to own your own land to hunt..but lots of public land is nice too. Great job

Thanks!  It’s a good investment.  If you were buying land strictly for hunting I think a person would be pretty disappointed in the cost and amount of work it is.  This land is my wife and I’d retirement, if we can get it paid off in 20 years we can have a good living off just the cash rent or farm it ourselves if commodity prices are good.  I guess it’s more fun then a 401k.  I would love to be back in AZA with all the public access though.  You can go anywhere and everywhere and get away from people if you work at it.  I miss that!
