2010 Double B Outfitter Deer
Week 1
Joe, Greg and Paul from Minnesota and Raymond from Vermont arrive on a cool cloudy damp day. Started raining early Thursday monring and continued until Friday morning about 6 AM, with a total of 3 inches. This made getting to sme of our stands impossible. Raymond shot a great buck 5:40 Friday night and Joe followed with another awesome buck a little later. We had to wait until the last night when Greg shot another great buck with Paul shooting his the last minute. Paul brought his dog along and they had some excellent upland bird hunting. What a way to start the 2010 season!
Week 2
Bren and Mike from Louisiana and Luke from North Dakota got to camp on a warm sunny afternoon. Donald from New Hampshire was unable to hunt due to an illness in his family. We hope your son is doing well. Mike shot his deer on the second night and Luke and Bren shot their deer on the fourth evening. Numerous ducks and geese were shot on the last two mornings of there hunts as waterfowl season opened on Saturday. So far so good a perfect 7 for 7.
Week3
James and Robert from Louisiana, Jeff from Montana and Andrew from North Dakota arrive on a hot sunny day with no wind and that weather would be a challenge all week. Robert was the first hunter to get a good deer on first evening. James followed the next night with his deer. Duck and goose hunting was alright even with the hot, sunny windless days. Andrew shot a great deer on fourth, but Jeff didn't have an oppertunity to shoot the deer he was looking for. Well there goes the perfect season, I guess we knew it was to good to be true.
Week 4
John, Harry, Troy and Dennis all of Texas stampeded into North Dakota on a warm fall evening (we still have mosquitoes). Duck and goose hunting was very good with limits of geese shot on second morning and ducks and geese shot on fourth morning. Deer hunting was challenging until evening three when we shot three deer. We recovered one the first night and second deer was damaged by coyotes when we found him, and the third deer was not critically shot so he is still running around doing great! Harry was not able to see the deer he would like and decided he would rather go home without, instead of shooting something he wasn't happy with. Harry says there is always next year. What a great Philosophy.
Week 5
Tom from Nebraska, Chris from North Carolina, Carlie from Manitoba and Ralph and Vicki and the rest of the Archers Choice gang arrived on another warm day, which would be the theme of the entire week. Tom didn't waste any time. He put down his great buck on the first night at about eight yards. The next morning they went out and shot there limit of mallards. Ralph not wanting to be out done shot a hog on secong evening (what a great first two days). Vicki not in a hurry waited until the last night to shoot a real champ. She called us and said she was tired of hunting would we please come and get her. About a minute later she called us back and said by the way I also shot my deer. Chris was unsuccessul not seeing anything he was looking for. Hopefully next year.
Week 6
Donnie from Florida and Mike from Georgia arrived in a winter storm with 50-70 MPH winds, 2 inches of rain first, then 5 inches of snow over our first 3 days. Brad and Trey were unable to hunt with us due to a medical emergency in Brads family. We hope all is now going well. Donnie shot his deer first night in a 50+ mph wind, he said he was trying to hold down the tent and shoot at the same time. What a great deer, great tracking snow. Mike shot his deer on night three, we didn't need to track him as he didn't get out of sight. You know the hunting gods are looking over you when you are successful in that kind of weather!
Thanks to our hunters, 2010 will be a year to be long remembered. The bigger deer are always hard to figure out and hunt, then throw in the unpredictable weather in North Dakota!
