This is my best Clare County buck. I took him in 1981 a couple of miles from my home. At the time he was measured and judged the sixth biggest buck ever taken in Clare County. Recent Commerative Bucks of Michigan books show him down in tenth or eleventh place.

He was following a doe and passed within 30 or 40 yds. of my blind.

I go in a Ford Ranger, right up close to the ground blind. Using care when bushhogging can make a close parking place, behind bushes ( now the son of a friend has to do it. There is a nice 150 yd long, but narrow food plot in front( last year, I killed a 17 1/2" 9 pointer there. BTW, a VW Bug makes a very good hunting car. A German Hunter friend had one with the right front seat removed, and he could carry about as much as a mini pick up. Oh, I almost forgot, I used to use gas heaters, but found either a sleeping bag, with arms or wool blanket( depending on temp.) much easier in the long run.

We use Coleman catalytic heaters. They are silent and work well. We bought several years ago at gun shows for very little. Both blinds are quite tight and heat up easily.

This buck was a 19" inside spread ten point.

A closer pic of the other side showing the engraving a little better. This was taken long ago when the gun had a different scope. It now has a 3 X 9 Kahles.

Here's the rifle... again. Too bad PB decided to mess with all our pics. Really screwed up a lot of threads.
