No, this isn’t a post about Bill Clinton! Yesterday through Sunday I’m in White Earth, North Dakota for the Allie Enget Memorial Deer Hunt. Allie is Aaron Enget’s father, who passed away a year ago. The Doubletough crew were here in ‘06 for a deer hunt and it was a completely different experience from how we do it down South. Truly a community and family affair, most of the Enget Clan were on hand as we glassed coolies and teamed up to harvest several nice does. Jody’s brother, Chris “Bubba” Enget downed a very nice mule buck and I managed a small 8-point whitetail with what I’m not ashamed to say was a damn impressive shot. More on that in another post. We all decided it would be a good thing to gather again in Allie Enget’s hometown to share memories of him and create new ones around the Doubletough campfire. Read more…

This one came from Bubba and while it’s a couple years old, still impressive. The shooter, Chad from Glen Ullin, North Dakota gave this account, ”I grunted him into about 55 yards and shot him head-on. He dropped in his tracks.” Chad was in his blind in the cold Dakota weather for seven hours before this buck came along!
Final measurements were 27 inch main beams with 5.5 inches of mass. The tallest tines were 13.25 inches.
Nice work Chad and thanks to Bubba for sharing!

muzzleloader, North Dakota
This Doubletough buck was taken by a muzzleloader near Sidney, Nebraska. The story is from 2004 and begins with a local hunter who told his hunting buddy about a deer with an arrow through its head. The next time the two hunted together, the deer appeared well out of shooting distance but clearly enough to confirm that it indeed had some extra headgear.
The very next morning the buddy was in the same tree stand and shortly after sun up, ol’ Arrowhead stepped out just thirty yards from where he sat. The hunter knocked him down and after closer observation, believes the deer had been carrying that arrow for a couple months.
