Anyone have any pic's of the 265lbs'er take 2nd season? Sounds like a small horse.

I haven't seen that one yet. It might be in Outdoor News Thursday though. Here's a few others to admire in the meantime...

This was off my buddy's cam. Terrible pic but it was a 208# heavy framed 8 pt.


This was the "parachute" buck. A 179# toad that scored 147. I saw 2 of those flares/chutes while in the woods. Pretty cool that he killed a buck that got tangled up in one.

Yup, that's why we put up with all the other business that is Ripley.

Both are awesome bucks, thanks for sharing the pics!

Those are some great pic's. Fun to see how heavy those horns get up at Ripley.

I can't get over the snow on the ground in some of those pictures. I hunted about in the middle of Ripley and there was only a dusting in the low areas.
It goes to show how big Ripley is.

I've got some pictures that someone sent me of the heaviest buck taken, but I don't know how to post them. I can email them to someone if they want to post them.

If you send them to me I'll get them up. huntnfishmn at yahoo

That 2nd deer is huge. Granted I'm not a hunter, but it looks old and just big. I would like to see that 256 or whatever that biggun was. Just wondering, is there a wolf pack in Ripley?

Plenty of wolves in the camp. I heard from 2 guys that saw wolves on the 2nd hunt.

Yes there is. In fact there are two different packs. One that lives in the northern part of the base and the other stays more on the southern end but they will cross territories/ripley borders occasionally and often times the consequenses are pretty severe for the wolves

Here are the pics nels was talking about. Wow is all I can say. This thing is a monster.

WOW that is a buck of a lifetime...

Now that is a big thick buck!!! His head kind of reminds me of a cow.

It's a horse with antlers! Congrats to whomever took it.
