I live and hunt near grand rapids, mn. thats about 1.5 hrs south east of babbitt. Babbitt is in what is called the iron range. Alot of iron ore has come from that county! The best time to bowhunt is mid to late oct. The weather still may be warm(35-50)but don't count on it.
By late oct the temps should be in the 20s and 30s with some rain. The babbitt area is forested and many lowland forest. You will probably be hunting in the big woods. Alot of the land is public(state and fed), so you shouldn't have any trouble finding land to hunt. Because of the continous forest you may have to rethink your current ways of hunting. In north woods 10% of the ground holds 90% of the deer. During gun season, tree stand and drives are the most common ways to hunt. Pick an area that shows alot of deer sign, recent aspen clearcuts, and look for choke points or bottle necks in the forest cover. Aerial photos can be viewed at the MDNR website to aid in finding some hunting areas or locations before you get here.
