RE: Minnesota hunters
Hey guys, not much going on in South Eastern Mn, either. Just wondering if you guys are using any scents yet, and if you are, what are you using? I made my first mock scrape of the year last night (6th of October). I used some Primetime doe urine in the scrape, but I forgot to put anything on the licking branch.[:@] I am finding a ton of rubs, but not a whole lot of scrapes. Anyone using a drag rag yet?

RE: Minnesota hunters
I'm north of bemidji, and have been watching bucks sparring in my field lately. Had 29 deer in field lasst night and had 3 matches going on at one time. Neat to watch. A few scrapes in my pasture, but just territorial markings. Bowhunted near nestor Falls Ontario this past weekend, and scrapes/rubs were everywhere. I passed on 9 smaller bucks and had a 140" class come near, but no shot offered. Hopefully this weekend he'll come by again. happy hunting! Taz

RE: Minnesota hunters
Hello BiggDaddy12 do you know of any decent WMA's to bow hunt in the area? I lived in Austin for 6yrs. My wife is from Brownsdale and we now live in Geneva. I started bow hunting again after a long break and that was in WI were I was raised. Any help would be appreciated.

Taz, Ive hunted the Bemidji area the past few years. Down around the Schoolcraft Refuge on private land. Wont be going back, I lost my connection to the land. Good area up there though, so Im not surprised when you say you saw 20+ deer in the field. Good luck to ya!

RE: Minnesota hunters
Congrats Tribal &Rackluster on your success! (and everyone else who scored)
I had some luck this weekend! I shot a nice doe on Saturday night. I was sitting in the oaks & she was with two others, a button buck and smaller doe, eating every acorn in sight. Her stomach was FULL with the normal browse and a ton of acorns.Can't wait to get back out this weekend..
Good luck everyone!!
