My Dad and I hunted as hard as a 57 year old and an 83 year old are able to. Dad drove back to Minnetonka until next weekend. Dad took 1 shot at a doe and missed. My Son with his Buck and my Dad. Family Time So I have a few Days rest

Family Time So I have a few Days rest That is fantastic! Great story and pictures. I sat 8 hours in the snow today sure they would move and saw one big doe with 10 minutes of shooting light left. In hindsight, I probably should have put her in the freezer.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Still no activity where I hunt. Heck, there are zero deer tracks in the logging job that I'm working on! I thought for sure that they would be coming in for the fresh hardwood tops. Strange year for sure!
You need to mix fresh maple tops with corn for them and place them in cardboard trays 10 feet apart. The Aitkin County deer are a little snooty that way.

You wife said the same thing about you. There is 40 acres of standing corn to the North of my back 40 and 80 acres of fresh slash to the South. Guess where the deer are holed up? The bears are still out too in the corn every night and leave a "gift" near my stand every night.

Left a camera out most of our season. Most of the deer were nocturnal in my area.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I just got in from the morning sit. The deer moved during the night and one fawn moved since light. That is the first lone fawn I have seen. The snow is starting to pile up too.

I was reading an article in a local paper that I found interesting. I live in an intensive harvest area for deer. According to the DNR, 75% of MN hunters in the intensive harvest area buy one license to harvest one deer. 20% buy a second license to harvest two deer. Only 5% buy a license to harvest more than 2 deer.
