| 12-20-08' The 08' rifle season, ended on a slow note. I saw alot more wolf tracks than deer tracks. Preparations are already being made for next season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, to all of our great customers. Just to let everyone know that we have started an active blog at buckisland.blogspot.com/ 11-19-08 What a deer season. As some of you know, our hunting and research is done in Northern MN. We hunted hard opening weekend, and came up empty handed. So many hunters, that I talked to, told me that deer sightings were down significantly over years past. It took me until Wednesday to see my first deer. Thursday afternoon, I was able to score on a nice 7 point buck, thanks to the fresh doe scent from Whitetail Country, and Chuck Musker. We have one more weekend left. Pro-staffer Doug Ahle experinced both a high and a low, this season. His 10 year old son Hunter scored with his first deer, a beautiful 1 1/2 year old doe. On a sad note, Doug also found the bodies of a poached 10 point buck, and a doe on his land. It was a very sad discovery. Remember stay safe, stay legal, hunt hard, and refresh those mineral sites. 11-02-08 Things are ready to pop. Those bucks are really starting to scrape. Snow is on the way for the Arrowhead. Remember refresh those sites. Have fun and a good luck to all. Don't forget to let us know how you did. 10-26-08 We are happy to say that rifle season is just about here. We would like to recommend some things for all our friends out there. First off to get your beautiful bucks we all know that you should be using Oh Deer mineral. Now draw them in with deer scents. We recommend using a product from Whitetail Country Taxidermy and Deer Ranch. They are a local company in Minnesota just like us. Chuck Musker is the owner and he collects his scent and bottles it daily. There are huge advantages to using scent that is coming from deer in the same area you are hunting , not to mention the freshest urine. You can buy these scents in some of the Gander Mountain stores at the archery counter, or get them directly from the ranch. Now when you get your scent ,you know that it is fresh within a few days old, not on a shelf. Chuck is also an "award winning taxidermist" His work is top notch. We highly recommend his taxidermy and scents. Chuck also gives private taxidermy lessons.

We would like to thank all of the associates, managers, and most of all the customers that made the last couple weekends very enjoyable and memorable. Remember it is never too late or too early to start a new mineral site or to refresh an old site. Deer will continue to hit minerals year a round. It may not be as much, but they do continue to use minerals. 9-30-08 It's that time of the year again. As the nights are getting colder, keep an eye out for those first few does, that are getting closer to estrus. Those mineral sites are still very important. This is the perfect time to recharge those sites for the remainder of fall, and the start of a long winter. Check us out at our upcoming events. We will be giving away free gifts with purchases, on the day of the events. 8-15-08' We at Buck Island are so delighted to inform all of our valued customers that Gander Mt. in Maple Grove now carries Oh! Deer mineral mix. Remember everyone just because summer is winding down don't forget those minerals. Deer may start to decrease their overall use, but they are still around and will still hit them. Keep them fresh and Give em' a Lick. 8-11-08' What a weekend, Friday I had the pleasure to meet one of the managers for the Gander Mt. store in Duluth, Coner and an associate named Chris. They are awesome guys with a passion for Whitetails. We are pleased to announce that you can now find Oh! Deer at the Duluth Gander Mt. Thanks again guys. Friday also found us staying at the most unique motel on the North Shore. Northern Rail Suites. It is a motel made out of actual railroad cars. Mary the manager was great. We set up seven mineral sites on their property. I can't say enough about the staff and the accomodations. If you find yourself driving up the north shore, stop for a bite at Betty's pies, take your next left and then your next right, and you will have a night you and the family will never forget. Thanks again to Mary for a very classy place, and don't forget to look out your window, because you might see one of their local deer enjoying some Oh! Deer. 07-14-08 What a wild few months. Those deer are have really been crushing the sites. On father's day weekend I record 67 hits on the camera in buck meadow. Unfortunately I couldn't pull the SD card at the time. For those of you that are MDHA members, Oh! Deer is now a proud advertiser in their magazine. We are posting some new videos on the links page. Don't forget to read some of the customer feedback on the customer page as well. Send in your pictures and commments to admin@buckisland.net |
