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.

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.

Just up the road in Hackensack this weekend. Shot this guy. No doe with him but he sure seemed to be on the prowl (trotting and nose to the ground)

Season is over here. Gathered up some trail cameras tonight and there were deer everywhere. Saw more deer tonight than we did in the last week. Even had one in the back yard licking on the salt block. Go figure.

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. smile

Those deer are fed enough corn already without me adding to it!

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.

I hope you will be able to have the dents pounded out of your truck after that collision.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Left a camera out most of our season. Most of the deer were nocturnal in my area.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

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.

Isn’t that like number 15 this year? How many more are you going to shoot?

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.

The Good Lord walked this guy to my stand as he was chasing does at last light on the 6th. Buck fever hit hard and I missed his lung by 2" as he was quartering at me chasing a doe. Found him the next morning, gotta say there was definitely some hesitation about leaving him out in the woods overnight but I wasn't about to chase him around. Better to just let him lay down an die, always thankful to have meat in the freezer.
