hoosierhunter Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Well I'm a native from Indiana but moved to Owatonna a month ago for a job. I got a chance this weekend to take a trip up to Duluth to rifle hunt with a co-worker of mine.......Well Saturday was uneventful as I sent three hours dragging my buddies' dads deer out of the woods. He shot a 7 pointer while walking in the woods and go figure he killed him all the way back....Saturday night we didn't see a single thing and at this point I'm a little discouraged b/c I have heard so much about up here but hadn't seen a deer yet.....So Sunday morning rolls around and this is do or die time for m buddy and me. Well the morning started off just like the others with no deer showing up....It was 9:30 and now I'm beginning to wonder if Minn even has deer at this point...Just as that thought crossed my mind...I see a monster doe coming through the pines fast....She gets the the clearing and throws her nose up in the air....Go figure she comes from downwind of me.....Well for how she came out it looked like she was being pushed by a buck, but with her getting ready to blow and run I decided that one in hand is better than two in the bush and I took her....I shot her with a 30-06 at 25 yards and she literally dropped right there and didn't kick at all!!!I hit her in the front shoulder and literally exploded her heart....When I field dressed her the heart was gone....Anyway she dressed out a big 160 pounds...A absolute tank.....So everyone from Minn let me know how your first weekend went......

Guest Black_Rack Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Re: Minn hunters that scored so far.......... Just finshed up with football...sooo....now it's archery time!! I'll probably hit up the second weekend of rifle but not really looking forward to a million crazy's in the woods shooting at any little deer they see. I'll keep you posted on the post-rifle season :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-Hunter Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Re: Minn hunters that scored so far.......... The rut isn't starting yet in MN - I'm wrapping up my last day here tomorrow. The meat market is darn near empty - no deer. if it's not a tough winter up here, next year will be a doozie.

The bucks up in Duluth were running noses down and I had one in the brush grunting, but unforunately he didn't show himself..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
