    Minnesota 2021 Season

    Saturday evening I headed for a spot on the draw WMA. I would be sitting a pinch point between bean fields, a very productive spot from last year. I was in the tree at 4 and ready for a warm evening sit. Nothing was moving until 7:20, when I had tow does cross the trail onto my side. I grabbed...

    Minnesota 2021 Season

    Archery opened yesterday and my alarm was set for 4am. I planned to be settled in my tree at 5:45, and missed by mark by 2 minutes. Not bad! In the morning I sat on a trail intersection in a white oak stand. The morning was pretty quiet, and at 8:30 a doe snuck in on me. She came in from the...

    Found out today that I failed to draw the other two archery park hunts I put in for this year. Still waiting to hear from the DNR regarding my firearm and muzzleloader draws, and honestly not even sure when those are drawn. Here’s hoping!

    Minnesota 2021 Season

    The final 3D shoot of the year was this weekend and I just barely beat the rain this morning. I planned to shoot both bows, but barely snuck through with my recurve. There were 38 targets, and I scored 334. For an average of 8.78, one of my best of the season. I’m definitely feeling dialed at...

    Orientation for MBRB hunt was last night. I was the #16 ranked hunter, and had my sights set on a new zone this year. I scouted a bit and marked a handful of great looking spots. Once we started picking zones, the one I was gunning for filled up before it got to me. I ended up picking zone 1...

    September 1 found me in the dove field when the sun came up. I was surprised to see that the parking lot was nearly full, especially with it being a weekday! There were plenty of doves flying, but I was not on the spot. No shots fired, but man did it feel good to be out in the field again. I...

    Got around to scouting the WMA I drew this weekend. Everything that was planted corn last year is beans this year. I have a waypoint that was a stellar evening spot last year and I expect the same this year. I checked out another pinch point that is veeeery similar in setup. Wasn’t much fresh...

    2/2 on drawings so far! Received an email today about drawing the LE WMA archery tag I put in for. This one allows 60 archers to hunt throughout the season, and I’m super stoked about drawing again! They don’t post application numbers, so it’s always kind of a crapshoot. Ive got waypoints...

    Found out this weekend that I drew my first choice park hunt! The hunt was undersubscribed so it was really just a question of my hunter rank, which determines the order you choose your zone. I’ve hunted this park the last few years and have my eye on a different zone this year. Orientation is...

    Got all my licenses purchased for the coming season today. It’s all over but the waiting now folks! I can’t remember if I said it earlier, but my switch has officially flipped to hunting. I hit a property for a deer scout last week only to learn that what had once been a huge CRP type field had...

    5/5 in a 7” circle at 20 yards. It’s required paperwork for some special management hunts around the suburbs. Basically just to make sure you can actually shoot well with a little bit of pressure, which theoretically means you won’t be wounding deer near people’s back yards. The proficiency...

    Shot my proficiency test for the management hunts today with my compound. I pulled the 3rd shot a bit, but kept all 5 in the required circle and am good to go for this years hunts. License sales open on Sunday, and I plan to put in for a few special hunts run by the dnr this year as well...

    Spent the better part of the last 10 days traveling. First to Montana for a work trip, then to Michigan for a bit of R&R with family and friends. My brother and I fished lake st Clair to no avail for a few hours before a rain storm, and we spent a couple of days on Drummond island to round...

    I’d definitely be interested in duck hunting. Something I’ve always wanted to learn, but don’t know where to start! For some reason I can’t PM you. If you can PM me, let’s chat.

    We had our July 3D shoot this weekend at the club. Like all the others, I shot through first with my recurve, stepping up to reasonable recurve range. It was my best shoot of the year, scoring 381 on 44 targets which is an average of vitals based on how I score (no idea if it’s correct, but I’m...

    Hit the water today for the first time in a few weeks. The lake was pretty busy with tubers and jet skis. My wife killed it! I caught a few dinks, but my time to shine was at the fillet table. Took home 4, which will be a little more than 2 dinners for us!
