FRIDAY, OCT. 13:
Greg Miller and cameraman Brach Pulver just checked in with our latest report from the field, and it's a good one. Tuesday afternoon, on their first outing of a return trip to North Dakota (see Sept. 13 report below), Greg arrowed a beautiful 10-pointer.
The weather was nasty, with snow and rain blowing as our guys arrived in camp that day. Due to the difficult filming conditions, they almost didn't go out . . . but then changed their minds. Good thing they did.
"It was one of those last-minute decisions that panned out," Greg says. "This is pretty open country with a good bit of agriculture, including alfalfa, potatoes and hay fields, plus some big oaks and poplars. We were hunting near an oxbow in a river bottom that afternoon. Brach got some great footage, including the buck doing a lip-curl before he came into bow range."
Greg's friend Scott Swanson, who arranged for access to this property, also has been able to set up bowhunting access for us in the suburbs of Minneapolis-St. Paul. That's where Greg and Brach will be heading later this month, for another pre-rut bowhunt. If chilly weather hangs on and buck activity continues to heat up, we could be getting another happy story from our team before long.
