bowhuntMN Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'm just wondering how many others on this forum are MN hunters or bow hunters since this thread is on the bowhunting page. Ive seen a few around the site but just wanted to see who else is able to hunt in such a great state that needs to get put on the hunting map!

Tom2008 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Minnesota Bow hunter for 5 years now. Started at the age of 14. I think MN is best left off the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhuntMN Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Minnesota Bow hunter for 5 years now. Started at the age of 14. I think MN is best left off the map. i think i started at 15 and have bowhunted for about three years now and am already hooked at age 18. i think i could easily set down the rifle if i wanted to and just bowhunt the rest of my life. bowhunting just gets me excited and pumped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been bow only since the 2008 season. I was hooked on my first day back in the 2004 season on opening day.. Had a fork horn come out with dark red antlers at 10:30 A.M. Only 15 yards away and I didn't get a shot off, but it was just too cool of an experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger-Hunter Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've been hunting MN since 2002 - I love it. It gets me through the year, especially after a bad season in IL or IN (bow) - I've maxed out the last two years in MN, up near Park Rapids. I love it.

I have a friend with land up towards Thief River Falls, near Grygla, and get up there a couple times a year for deer hunting & duck hunting. Its basically heaven up there for me. i love the area and the hunting is great although the duck numbers have been down so you really have to know where to hunt. but if you find a good spot you can easily have your limit in a mornings hunt.
