Dr. Ken Nordberg's Trophy Room 1

Every story needs a story teller. Hi, my name is John Nordberg. I will be narrating this photo album. This is my Grandfather. I am named after him. This is the man that started this long line of Nordberg deer hunters. (1963, 8-pointer)
One of Gerandpa's many deer, a nice Wisconson buck. (1971, 8-pointer)
One of his big bucks. It has 8 points on one side and 5 on the other. (Horseshoe Valley, 1998, 13-pointer)
Dr. Ken Nordberg with his 2010, 12-pointer. (One of our 300+ pound bucks.)
Here is another photo of that buck. It is hard to describe how big this buck was. Unfortunately, the unusual perspective in this photo makes the buck look too large! (Grassy Valley, 2010, 10-pointer)
One shot at 400 yards with 7mm Mag. (At this distance, with this round, hold 17 inches high.) (1995, 8-pointer)
Check out the mass of this big one — another of our 300+ pound Minnesota bucks. It came to a grunt call and stopped 20 yds away. (Totem Pole Trail, 1993, 8-pointer)
(Totem Pole Trail 1993, 8-pointer)
Shot from 15 yards in a Red Osier feeding area. (1976, 8-pointer.)
This is one of Doc's Antler Mountain bucks. (1990, 9-ptr.)
This was a nice 300+ pound Minnesota buck. (Grassy Valley, 2006, 10-pointer.
This 300+ pound buck was shot while refreshing a groundscrape, partly visible in back right. (2007, 8-pointer)
Here is Doc back at camp the same buck. (2007, 8-pointer)
This is Doc's Teacup Valley buck. (1994, 8-pointer)
I apologize, I don't have a better picture of Doc's biggest buck. (1978, 10-pointer)
Shot at 11 feet. Notice her weapon — a 20 guage single shot. (1972, 9-pointer)
Peggy shot this trophy buck at a distance 25 feet. (1973, 10-pointer)
Front view of the same buck. (1973, 10-pointer)
Here is Doug with another nice Michigan buck. (2006, 8-pointer)
This is the biggest buck that I didn't miss. ;-) (Bunyan's Marble Trail, 2003, 8-pointer)
This buck had only 3 legs. It had survived loosing the lower half of a hind leg. (2000, 8-pointer)
I shot this buck at a distance of 3 feet. I was sitting with my back to the boulder, just behind the barrel of my gun, on the other side of the brush pile. The buck was walking from right to left and was taken about 2 feet to the right of where it is now laying. (2004, 8-pointer)
For a large number of reasons, I believe this buck is the grandson of my 2003, 8-pointer. It has a very interesting, tall rack. (Bunyan's Marble Trail, 8-pointer 2012)
David Nordberg's first buck, at the age of 12. (1976, 7-pointer)
This was the year of the big Halloween blizzard. Dave shot this buck at a distance of about 400 yards. (1991, 8-pointer)
This is an impressive buck. Notice the palmation on that rack. (Acorn Mountain, 1994, 10-pointer)
"Bloody Hands" Dave with his 2002 "Broken Antler" 8-pointer.
In 2005, Dave had a very good year! (Two nice 8-pointers)
Now for a few of Ken's bucks. (We will skip the little ones!) This is Ken's first BIG buck. One for the wall. (1982, 10-pointer)
This was Ken's 2nd deer of 1991. (1991, 8-pointer)
1992 was a cold year. The day of this buck, Doc and son Ken, pictured here with his Antler Mountain buck, had to build a fire in the woods to warm up. (1992, 7-pointer)
This is one of my favorite deer camp photos. Doc and his son Ken in front of Doc's wall tent. (1992, 7-pointer)
His first 8-pointer of the season in 1993. This was the smaller of the two.
His second 8-pointer of the season in 1993. Upon seeing it, Doc said, "You shot my buck!" Ken still chuckles about that every time he looks up at this buck. (It's on his wall.)
This is one of my favorite photos. It is Ken with a handsome 9-pointer. This buck was taken with Kevin Stone's assistance, using Doc's "Gentle Nudge" technique. Ken's third buck for the wall. (1994, 9-pointer)
Another photo of that 300+ pound buck. (1994, 9-pointer)
This nice buck came off of Lot's-of-Bucks Mountain. (1996, 8-pointer)
Another nice buck off of Lots Of Bucks Mountain. (Note how similar this buck is to the one in the next photo.) (1997, 8-pointer)
Yes, this is a different buck! While the photos are almost identical, carefully compare the geometry of the racks. While most likely these two bucks were brothers, they are different. With Doc's assistance, this buck was taken behind camp using Doc's "Gentle Nudge" technique. (1998, 8-pointer)
He didn't get another 8-pointer in 1999, so he felt compelled to take this "little one" in 2000! Quite nice for a six-pointer! (2000, 6-pointer)
A nice photo of Doc with his son Ken. Ken saw three bucks from that tree stand that morning. This one ended up on the wall. (2001, 10-pointer.)
Cold! Twenty below. First 2 shots misfired. Taken with the third attempt. Lots of drama! (Lots Of Bucks Mountain, 2002, 8-pointer)
Ho hum! Another 8-pointer. (Birch Mountain, 2004, 8-pointer)
He took this nice buck between Lots Of Bucks Mountain and Birch Mountain. (2005, 8-pointer)
This handsome buck is on the wall. (Birch Mountain, 2006, 10-pointer)
Another photo of that 300+ pound buck. (Birch Mountain, 2006, 10-pointer)
Yet another year, yet another mature 3 1/2-year old. This guy is lethal! (Antler Mountain, 2009, 8-pointer)
He was walking down an old logging trail with his son Ryan. Out came 2 does, and then this guy. Ken had it down before his son could react. (2010, 8-pointer)
The biggest buck in the family so far. (This is Ken's sixth nice buck for the wall.) Let me emphasize, the average hunter only gets one mature 8-pointer in 30 years. Why not learn to hunt like this hunter did? There is no coincidence this is one of Doc's sons. (8-pointer, 2012)
In 2012, Ken actually ended up getting three 8-pointers! (That is his son Ryan on the left.)
This is Kate's big 9-pointer. She shot this big guy at a distance of 25 feet from, "Katy's Stump" during a, "Gentle Nudge" with Doc's assistance. (1995, 9-pointer)
This is Cassey's biggest buck — a nice Michigan 8-pointer. (2007)
This is Tyler's massive 300+ pound 8-pointer — a very tough drag. This rack has, "palmation" going on between the points. This one was shot not very far from his Dad's Acorn Mountain, 1994, 10-pointer that also had palmation — good genetics! (2007)
A nice 7-pointer dropped in dense cover. (2009)
This was a nice buck for Tyler, and one of the toughest drags for the rest of us. (It took over an hour with 4 of us.) Tyler is really starting to make us work! (2013, 8-pointer)
Ryan's first buck. Ryan took this buck when he was just 12. (Large Forky, 2007)
Doc's late brother and father with one Bob's nice bucks. (1965, 8-pointer)
Silver is a good friend of Doc that commutes from Wisconsin to hunt whitetails with us. This is a man that is always telling a great story. Silver has quite a few big bucks to his credit. This is a nice, narly, old 9-pointer. (2007)
A nice picture of Doc & Silver posing with John's 3-legged buck. (2000)
This is Silver's nice 2006, 8-pointer — it could have been a 10-pointer if the buck hadn't damaged his rack on its left side.
Silver had a very nice 2006 — 2 nice 8 pointers. (Left from MN, right from WI)
She hasn't hunted with us in Minnesota yet, but you have to see this Wisconsin brute taken by Silver's daughter! (2007, 9-pointer.)
Chuck is an independent Texan friend that hunts "with" us — or, "next" to us. He helps us drag. We help him drag. Sometimes, he comes for lunch or dinner. He is an avid whitetail hunter that commutes from Texas to Northern Minnesota! This is Chuck's nice 2002, 9-pointer.
Chuck's nice 2006, 8-pointer.
Here is Doug
