MINNESOTA MONSTER | The Hunt for a 6.5 year old GIANT Buck!

Bryan Lemke is in pursuit of his largest buck to date in his home state of Minnesota. A 170" Giant that he knows all too well after three years of history and several close encounters. The pieces finally fall into place as Bryan makes a move on the buck he calls, the 80-10.

Can't wait to watch this before I head crappie fishing tomorrow!

Hope you enjoy it!

[@michaelsmith296]

Thank you for sharing ! 70 years old been hunting most of my life. Your patience,preparation, and dedication paid off big time. I know you're proud and you should be. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@tfrost33elkhunter]

Fellow Minnesotan here... Wow!!! I’ve got a deer almost just like this on my property. I got my first picture of him this year and saw him twice this season (archery) but only in fields on my way home from work. Gun season is now over and the long wait begins. I’m trying to plan this out just like you did. What a fantastic hunt! Congrats!!!

[@jongakin7827]

Gun season for me in central Mn goes till the 21st I’m curious on where your at lol

14 years old and I just shot my second buck (7 pointer) and I can’t imagine the buck feaver I would get trying to get something that big!

[@primer3458]

I’m in zone 645 out by Winona and there’s some tanks out here. My neighbor shot a 179 inch believed to be 8 years old. Couldn’t believe the size of it. Minnesota produces. Didn’t know there was nice deer in 200

[@rontaylor3751]

I really appreciate the way deer society tells the story and steps of the hunt. Great buck ,congrats

[@Blackpanther_risen]

Once again, Deer Society, great story line & content. Congrats on a great buck.

[@chelseacampbell4584]

AMEN

[@zinfinite4563]

He was 80-10 but died as 80-11. Awesome buck.

[@scotttemple7152]

This year got my deer with a crossbow,was such a long journey,right before crossbow season separated my shoulder,on October 28 i finally got back shot a 4x8

[@bartgarrett7710]

What's a 4x8 ? I'm from Indiana and we usually just say ... 8-point , 10-point , 17-point etc. But , i've noticed they usually say 4 by 4 or 5 by 5 on Muleys . I'm just curious , not trying to be a smartass or anything ! Lol

[@noahstrouse]

@@bartgarrett7710 I'm also from Indiana, confused also. Second day for gun season and I got a 170" 15 pointer on our farm.

[@vix5244]

@@bartgarrett7710 it means that one beam had a 4 point and the other had 8 points

[@whitetail_15]

@@bartgarrett7710 with whitetail you count the total number of points, but with muleys, elk and other western animals they count how many are on the right rack “4” by how many are on the left rack “8”

Beautiful buck. Great work Congratulation

[@DonutVIP]

Minnesota resident here also, got my first big buck down south in Huston MN, 10 pointer typical, havent gotten one since then but i have seen a big 8 pointer at whitewater while small game hunting last year, he is my target this year for sure This so awesome, youre making me itch, really want to get out there now

[@sightlineproduction3980]

Freaking awesome hunt breakdown. What a Minnesota giant. Way to go Lemke. A well deserved buck. Looking forward to more hunt breakdowns coming down the line. Phase out, Tag out!

[@johnnywhite1681]

That is a giant!!; Congratulations!! You certainly earned it with all that work. The fact he had spotted you and walked around you through your sent proves, to me, its not just the hard work, there is luck involved as well .

[@JohnUSAofficial]

He hasn’t shot a whitetail in 6 years. Dang bro I would shoot any good buck that walks by after 1 year if not getting one

[@Whyaresomanynamestaken]

I’ve hunted on the private land I hunt on for 3 years and have seen 2 deer the entire time of hunting there

[@dylanrachiele-pn3dk]

Dude I would do the same thing no lie 😂😂

[@jacetaliaferro-kb5vj]

I haven’t shot a buck in 3 years really hoping for one this year

[@AlexJohnson7789]

I went 8 years without shooting a buck. After we lost my family farm to greedy relatives, I hunted public land in West Central Wisconsin, which is limited and pounded by other hunters. Never see bucks older than 3 years old. I've passed hundreds of small bucks that just get shot during rifle season. It's a shame. I'm just a carpenter and have 2 small children, and I can't afford to lease land and getting permission to hunt private is next to impossible around here.

[@williamgill_esq.6487]

Well done! Your video presentation was excellent. What a deer! And your scent reduction regimen was the difference. Congrats.

[@tylerm9001]

Wow nice job awesome shot what a beautiful buck what a blessing from God so blessed we are able to hunt these amazing animals thank you lord God is so good!

Hunt hard from the first cold front after mid October, to the end of November. You'll get it done

[@mknight6556]

​@@mattwilkie9713 nah. Hunt early season too and get aggressive. Constantly be hunting new spots. If you don't harass the mature buck in the area, someone else will at some point. You might push him to an area where you can really pin point his ass

[@clearcutewt4478]

I am impressed with your diligence, planning, and strategy. Having your family involved and included , after the fact, will make for a truly unforgettable memory. Might I inquire, either from you, Sir, or others who might wish to comment....is the meat (venison) flavor changed or tainted by leaving an animal out overnight or for an extended periods with the entrails, etc. still intact? Is there a general ‘rule of thumb’ as to the point of not eatable? Thanks! Congrats!

[@nemarec]

Nice big buck. The meat is gonna be Tuff but you got a nice trophy wall Mount.

[@johndemarco7408]

Was your processor able to confirm age after seeing jaw line? I'm curious.. down here in the south a deer with that high o af torso and that long of legs would be a three and a half year old deer. 6 1/2s + always have much shorter legs do to that drop and they usually have a pretty big gut as well. He is pretty lean especially coming out of the summer. Maybe those Midwestern deer are different than our Southern deer

[@steveschmit8196]

I actually was able to witness the same thing last year.

[@stevencooney9236]

I don't get why you are using cell cams and calling it hunting. You are a really good hunter and you know how to hunt deer a lot better than most. Cell cams are not fair chase. It's not hunting.

[@daltenkuperus8531]

I live in MN

[@4thgenfarmer371]

You should come down here and tell me what doing me wrong! All the bucks that I've been watching up and disappeared during rifle season.

[@AndrewLlewelyn]

November 6th is my birthday 🥳

[@ghostshotxx6005]

I can’t even see a buck over 2 point’s lol I’ve seen 4 bucks in total probably in the past 3 years of hunting

[@heathsettlemeyer7167]

There is no doubt first 2 weeks of November are when deer breed. I don't need an expert to tell me or scientific studies. It's a fact. I'm 46 and has been and will always be. Yes they breed other times but that is when the club is packed 😂 Pick 5 hunts between Halloween and Nov 14 to have your best shot at a wall hanger. After that the deer will know you are there then it really turns to pure luck you 2 meet. If not after the first time you go into your stand.

[@ryancordle4946]

5:30. Didn't know the doe was named years

great story...I gotta say tho lol Ive heard some terrible buck names...."the 80-10" might take the cake haha

What causes the little hole in his rack on his right side there

[@heathsettlemeyer7167]

Great story. The story is what I enjoy the most not the shooting of the deer. I hunt and really get less from the end than the journey.

[@ajd_chew]

such an odd idea to leave it overnight idek why that was a thing you did

[@jeridborror9150]

if they waited till the next day he should of been stiff .it looked like his neck was free movin for laying all nite to me

[@MisticChris]

They go from being stiff to loose multiple times within 24 hrs. I know this from trapping and skinning raccoons. Sometimes they are stiff as a rock within 3 hours, sometimes loose as that 8+ hours later. Its weird for sure

[@mattlucht3829]

Fuckin Awsome Buck! Where In MN is this? Like Northern or Southern MN?

[@stevencooney9236]

My phone goes off.... and I know the deer is there. I'm not hunting anymore. WTF. Lanny Benoit always asked people, "what are we doing cheating ourselves of a real hunting experience and calling it hunting."

[@timm.2840]

I liked the video except for the use of the "f" word. can you edit that out so that my great-grandsons can watch it ? They enjoy hunting shows but some they miss because of the language, this one included. Tim M. 12/24/2021

Did you drag that buck to set up for a photo apt? Nothing wrong doing that just admit it. The drag marks at 17:10 are pretty obvious!

[@whitetail_15]

The buck could have been stumbling and trying to keep his balance, idk, but it does kinda look like drag marks
