Minnesota 2021 Season
Sunday morning I hunted an area that I’ve been to many times, but not yet this year. I’d kind of been saving this spot for this time of year. It’s an archery only location, with a pretty serious thick spot in the middle. Prior scouting years ago suggested that deer bedded in the thick stuff, so...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2021 Season
Saturday morning I went to the gun range to check the zero on my rifle, and sight in my muzzleloader. 2 shots from the rifle, both in the same hole. Done on that front! The muzzy took a half dozen shots to zero in on the bull, but I walked away dialed and ready for the firearm opener next...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2021 Season
This past weekend was the second period of the MBRB hunt. I had my stand set on Thursday afternoon and was excited for 3 days of prerut hunting. Friday morning was nice and chilly. First frost of the year when I woke up had me pretty excited. I was a little later than I’d hoped getting to...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2021 Season
I got out this morning for a quick duck hunt before work. This is the spot I kicked up a few woodies while dove hunting. I got a few decoys set up, and hunkered into a downed tree for cover. Birds were flying this morning. I think I saw around 20 woodies in all, but I missed the X by about 500...- MN_Bowhunter4

Tough deal. Congrats on the bird. I’ll be hoping for the best for your foot, and a quick recovery either way.- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2021 Season
Sunday morning I snuck into a new spot where a patch of trees jutted into a corn field. The beans drying up all but shut my best spot down, so I was thinking the corn might be a good attractant at this point in the year. I had my saddle gear to hunt from a tree, but didn’t find any place to set...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2021 Season
@BoomerUSAF and I had been talking about getting together for a hunt for a while now, and finally made it happen on Saturday! Our morning got off to a weird start when apple navigation took me to a road that parallels the actual one, which turned into me being later than intended. We hustled...- MN_Bowhunter4

Yep. Get the best flight doing that through paper and bare shaft. Seemed weird to me too, but it works! I nock @#)(# feather up on my compound, but for some reason @#)(# in off the shelf just works better.- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2021 Season
Got out for a quick after work sit last night. I went to a WMA close to my house, but that I hadn’t been to since spring. Apparently the dnr has been doing some thinning in there, because what was once a pretty substantial hardwood ridge was rather barren. I found a spot with intersecting...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2021 Season
Got out once this past weekend. Flushed a few grouse on my way into a pinch point on a new piece of land for me. Didn’t see any deer, but the spot looked very promising, and I’m betting that a little more time in there, probably in the prerut would yield some deer sightings. In other news, I...- MN_Bowhunter4

Planning to hunt a new to me piece of state land in bluff country on Saturday. About an hour south of me, which will hopefully eliminate some of that pressure. Plus, a first sit is always a good thing!- MN_Bowhunter4

Made it out for an evening hunt yesterday, and hunted the same spot I hit that doe on opening day. Absolutely nothing moving last night, and the nice, lush beans are starting to yellow.- MN_Bowhunter4

Yep, for sure. I’ve been expanding farther south and east these last few seasons. Definitely correct that the metro zone is not crawling with deer! I haven’t made it north or west much. Mostly due to drive distance. But definitely something I want to explore.- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2021 Season
The 4am alarm on Sunday was pretty rough. I slammed some coffee, dressed, and was in my stand again well before first light. I could only hunt the morning this day, so this would be my last chance for the first hunt period. About an hour into the hunt a lone deer ran across my face at 50 or so...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2021 Season
Day 2 was the coldest of the bunch. It was 39 when I got out of my car at the hunt area on Saturday morning. Like the day before, I was in my stand and ready well before first light. Again, the morning was slow, but at 8:40 a pair of does came in from my 4 o’clock. I clipped my release onto...- MN_Bowhunter4

Period 1 of the MBRB hunt was this past weekend. I had my stand set up at noon on Thursday and was excited to see what the morning would bring. My alarm rang at 4am on Friday, and I was out the door by 4:40. My favorite part of this hunt is not setting up in the dark. There is definitely...- MN_Bowhunter4

Got out for an evening sit tonight after a storm yesterday dropped the temp pretty significantly. Absolutely nothing moving, but it gave me a chance to check out a new spot on the WMA.- MN_Bowhunter4
