Jared "J-Rod" Bloomgren writes, "The second day of the North Dakota archery season was extremely hot with temperatures near 100 degrees. I set up not far from a spring in an alfalfa field and was able to arrow this giant 8 point! He came out and fed by the ground blind at 27-1/2 yards. A double lung hit had the buck down within 50 yards! He is 22 inches inside and close to 26 inches outside spread and scores 145."
