RE: Minnesota hunters
Mike (mconwa951) asked me to post his buck he got this year bow hunting. Great looking buck I'd say!! Congratulation's Mike!! Here's his story and picture.
Well it has been a while since I was on here October was a bad month. Our moose hunting trip turned into a survival trip when our hunting partners rooled over ther canoe 15 miles back in and lost there one bag that had the clothes for both of them in.The warter temp was in the upper 40's and the air temp was in the low 40's with a 45 mph wind that picked up. After we got home I found my construction trailer with 15,000 worth of tools stolen and my garage broken into and my bow gone. Anyway I went and got a new DXT and got her sighted in last week and went hunting for the first time in a month on sat. When I went to call themy friend that isthe groundskeeper at the golf course I hunthe said that they couldn't allow hunting anymore until he cot a injury waiver form from there attoerney for me to sign and I have been hunting there for two years. Well with the gun opener I had no really good spots to sit so I went and asked a member of the golf course where I hunt if I could hunt her property and they said yesso I went and scouted the 10 aceras found a spot went and bought a stand hung the stand and went and got my bow. After an hour in the stand I could herea buck grunting his head of in the distance alomost like a tom turkey in the spring. After a few bleats on my MAD bleat tube he came at a dead run. He stoped 4 yds from the base of my tree and I was able to catch both lungs he went 20yds and piled up the rage 2 blade did the trick again. He had a lot of ground shrinkage but it is still my biggest bow buck and my first buck in 2 years so I am extremely happy with him.

RE: Minnesota hunters
I am seeing more this last week than I have all season. Granted I am on a small parcel but one buck chasing and one other with his nose to the ground and one more that I only caught a glimpse of. So for me things have been much better than the earlier.

Went out this weekend and shot a nice doe at dark on 12/13. Found her about half hour before it started to snow. We got 15 inches of snow up there before it stopped. Very happy we found her quickly.

Congratulation's parker on getting a doe!! 15" of snow, wow!! We just 8" the other day so deer hunting should get better. I'm still at It hoping to at least shoot a doe being the big bucks pretty much avoided my but this year. I only have one tag In the area I hunt so I better get on It and hopefully shoot myself a doe.
