Welcome........This is a great site, and you can learn alot here. I am from St. Cloud, and hunt some around St. Cloud and Milaca but hunt mostly in Elk River. I have a couple food plots there and usually run a couple trail cameras all year. I also try to hunt Camp Ripley each year. I been playing aroundthe last 2 yearswith ground blinds inearly the season. I have also played with decoys later in the season. Both with very good results. Usuallly I'm 18 to 22 feet up a tree. Last year I never even saw a big buck but the two years prior I was on a "hot" streak and "PIPED" these 3 bucks.
