Did You Shoot A Deer?

[Fish Felon]

How was it for the MNFowlers?

Did not shoot a deer. 3 full days in the stand minus 2 hr lunch breaks

MN DNR deer strategy if it was ducks. Kill all the breading hens. We just want trophy GHs around.

While out duck hunting on deer opener I heard one shot Saturday and around six on Sunday. Least amount of shooting I've ever heard.

your mom...

Shot about a 130" 8 pt on my last day of hunting for deer. Hunt in area 346, we are allowed 5 deer apiece if we choose so, sat 3 days and never seen a doe on stand, saw 6 bucks.

No I passed a couple bucks would rather shoot one with the bow and I'm chasing a good one on my bow land now. Does are moving at night because they are getting harassed so much by bucks. The 8 does the big one chased tonight were all full speed away from him

[HnkrCrash]

Not yet. Does are still fawned up, which means they arent horny and drawing bucks towards them.

Oh, and the new jackass neighbor who put up a stand 70 yards from mine in a prime bedding area with no way to access it without walking straight through said bedding area. He hasn't seen a deer yet, can't imagine why.

Thank the QDM proponents for that.

It was pretty slow in the NW part of the state. Full moon didn't help daytime movement but poor management in recent years, bad winter and wolves have made seeing deer even before the season started pretty rare.

Our group went one buck for nine hunters. Everyone saw does except for the guy with the doe permit. Should be plenty of deer next year as long as the winter isn't too bad.

[duck_dynasty]

Yes, but seen less deer this year than years past but there's still quite a few around just moving mostly at night. Now that it's getting cooler they hopefully will be coming to the food plots a little earlier before dark. Still gonna plug a doe with my landowners permit.
