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.

All were alone. 3 went to the garage, and they all had close to 2 inches of fat on their back. Usually when they are running hard they burn off that fat. They didn't have that stinky old buck smell to them either. This was the first year we saw very few deer. Last night was the only day of the season was saw a lot of deer (about 20). We didn't see much for lone fawns, they were all with does. 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)

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. I have nothing clever to put here.

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 have nothing clever to put here.

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!

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. Every time I laugh, cough, or sneeze, my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.

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.
