Any Minnesota hunters around?

Just wondering who' s out there, and what and where do you hunt.

I do quite a bit duck hunting, but not as much in MN the last few years (tough to find a duck here lately). We do most of our duck hunting north of Detroit Lakes, and when the migration is coming through it can really be wild and crazy!

This deer season I hunted in Itasca State Park. I had a nice 6 point sneak up right behind me (scared the heck out of me). When I turned and lifted my gun to shoot, the scope was all fogged over. By the time I wiped it off, the buck saw me and took off. Boy did I feel stupid! Oh well, maybe next year.

I DO THE MAJORITY OF MY HUNTING IN THE SOUTHEASTERN CORNER OF THE STATE. I OWN PROPERTY DOWN IN THE BLUFF COUNTRY NEAR MABLE. DEER HUNTING IS GREAT ALONG WITH TURKEYS AND EXCELLENT TROUT FISHING.

Struttn- I haven' t seen much of that part of the state, but what I have was beautiful. Your lucky to own land down there, I don' t think there is much public land that way is there?

I see your from Cloquet. Do you ever do any hunting around there?

I' m from Wheaton right on the South Dakota border. I do most of my duck hunting on Big Stone Lake, south by Ortonville and south east of Clinton and every once in a while I' ll go on lake traverse to. For deer I just go south down towards Browns Valley. Our deer season was nothing short of extremely sucky this year. In 4 days of hunting we saw 8 deer and we walked and walked and walked. There' s deer down here but where they were I have no idea. Duck hunting down in this area last year for me was GREAT!!!! This was probably my best year ever. But that' s another story.

I live in southern Minnesota near St. Peter and go to school in Fargo, ND. I do a lot of bowhunting in Clay County and also Sibley and LeSueur counties.
