Good luck finding a place to hunt. I am a transplanted WI deerhunter as well. Since I moved to the wrong side of the river I have enjoyed some fine MN hunting, but you have to work at findinga place to go. I had lots of nos before I had a kind souled fellow hunter let me hunt on a 20 acre spot he knew of. He didn't hunt it anymore and put me in contact with the landowner. I was later able to access some neighboring land and have taken a couple of nice bucks off there. Keep your eyes and ears open and don't be affaid to ask. The worst you can have happen is a no and sometimes you may get a referral.

Just a side note. Look into the all season buck tag. It is a licence that lets you bow hunt, shotgun hunt, and muzzle-loader hunt. You can only take 1 buck so if you get one with your bow you are done hunting horns but you can still hunt does providing you have the correct antlerless tag.
Late season muzzle-loading was awsome this year! Hunting in the snow is a blast and you can see some real whoppers when it gets cold and they are on the feed bag. Good luck.
