Minnesota 2020 Season
Sunday was the coolest of the three days. My alarm was loud, but I crawled out of bed motivated for the final sit of the period. I had an obligation in the afternoon, so I'd be pulling my stand after the AM sit. The cooler temps definitely had an affect on the woods as it seemed the squirrels...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
Saturday was to be much cooler than Friday, and my alarm was met with enthusiasm. I again made it to the sign in right at 5 am and was on stand with about an hour to go before first light. The day played out much like the one before, except for one major difference - no deer. Woodies and...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
MBRB Period 1 was this past weekend. We set up our stands on Thursday at noon and I was in and out as quickly as I could be. I awoke slightly before my alarm on Friday and made it to the sign in location right after 5 am. A short drive and walk later, I was in my stand well before first light...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
Final draw of the season was apparently held recently. I received a notification from the overseeing department that I'd been successful in drawing. Similar to MBRB, that one has an online orientation and allows hunters a few weekends in November. Going 3/3 on the special permits is definitely a...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
I awoke just slightly before my 4:20 am alarm on Saturday and was filled with excitement. I was the second vehicle to the parking spot that morning, and it was a very crisp 43 degrees as I was getting dressed. My plan was to walk east along the edge of a standing cornfield until I hit the...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
Well, we've nearly made it now! Less than 24 hours to go and I'll be hitting the woods for the first hunt of the year. They are calling for a SSE wind so I'm planning to hunt the middle waypoint I scouted last weekend. I'll have to get a little creative with my entry, but I'm planning to wake up...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
Got out for my final scout of the season on Sunday. I headed for an area on the map that I'd never been to before and was pleased with the amount of sign I found. I entered the area with three waypoints marked as possibilities. Waypoint 1 overlooked an overgrown meadow of sorts and had a...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
Stopped by Zone 1 on my lunch break today so that I could scout and send my stand location to the hunt coordinator. I knew the area, but needed the spot within the spot. I ended up spending some time walking the transition between an overgrown, weedy opening and some timber. I eventually...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
MBRB orientation was held last night, but rather than an in-person meeting this year it was over Zoom. Some good information, mostly around the CWD mandatory testing regulations the park is under for the year. After getting through the list of dos and don'ts, we selected our desired zones. Zones...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
Got a chance to get out and scout the LE WMA yesterday and didn't find much for sign, which was a little surprising. I took my waders and first went up the little creek. I had marked a spot that I thought looked like it had potential, but I couldn't find a way through a huge cattail slough to...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
Back from Wisconsin after a much needed long weekend of R&R. We fished our butts off, and did get into a few here and there. It was our first time to Lake Winnebago and holy hell is that lake HUGE. We caught fish every day, and the overwhelming majority were freshwater drum that we tossed back...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
Woke up to a 'Congratulations' email from the MN DNR. I was successful in drawing the LE WMA that I put in for, the same one as last year! I was a little bit surprised, as they don't publish the actual draw date but I was told by the woman who accepted my application that drawing would be on or...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
I'm officially a licensed Wisconsin nonresident fisherman for a few days starting this Thursday. My fiance and I are meeting my parents in Oshkosh and renting a place on lake Winnebago for a long weekend. Should be a great time, with plenty of fishing, lounging in the boat and general nonsense...- MN_Bowhunter4

Minnesota 2020 Season
I purchased a Samick Sage recurve this spring and have been shooting it virtually every day that the weather allows. I am very much intent on hunting with a recurve this fall, and am feeling confident at this point that I believe that will be a reality. I have always been enamored with the...- MN_Bowhunter4
