News from Minnestoa************update******
« on: July 31, 2012, 07:01:22 PM »
So since there is so many countdowns going on I thought I would add mine  :chuckle: :chuckle:.  September 25th I fly to Minnesota to hunt for 8 days on 100 acres of private land.  A few nice bucks so far and a few that will grow up.

Well, 100 acres of Minnesota woodlot/farm mix is a whole lot bigger than 100 acres of wheat... plenty big enough to attract and hold several shooter bucks and all the does they'd want to pay attention to.  My buddy lives on 20 wooded acres there and almost never has to leave his property to fill all of his deer tags.  There's an 80 acre woodlot/farm combo his buddy owns that has an opening day meat pole every year that looks like it could belong to Costco's butchering outfit...

What part of Minnesota you heading to, Russ?

North East corner right smack dab middle of the arrow head.  Embarass, MN, about 30 miles south east of Ely.  This is all woode property with 4 2 acre food plots on the land.  This is the same land I shot my 10 point white tail when I was 12 years old.  My aunt and uncles land. 

I was born and raised in Minnesota and I haven't been back there for 7 years.  So after killing that big buck on the first day and posting it here.  I get to visit family I haven't seen in a while.

have fun!! my grandma wants me to come out to wisconsin in the fall opening up an oppurtunity to shoot a nice 12 point on the property. 25 acres on a lake makes good white tail habitat.
I hope it is not during rifle season.  Some crazy SOB out there in cheddar head land  :chuckle: but awesome deer hunting out there.

Getting to the freezing level at night low 60's-50's during the day.  Slight chanes of rain which is common.  Reports are the deer are moving right now.  Buck's of course are coming out before and after shooting hours.  Hope the cold pushes the out early by the time I get there.
