Looking to join some experienced deer hunters for this Fall firearm season. Anybody has an opening? In need of additional pair of hands? I'm not a complete novice, just wanted to change the area. I'm from Plymouth. I was hunting near Grand Marais, and for the last 2 seasons had no sighting at all, s...

As mentioned, snows are pretty scarce in MN these days. I shot a few around Lac Qui Parle back in the 80s and early 90s but that was more a fluke. The "best" numbers in MN will be found in the far northwest corner but even there they will be much lesser numbers than further west. The best...

The migration reports will tell you where you need to be. As has been said, it's all about the timing. Depending on snow cover the migrat ion can be halted or slowed. Guides are helpful because the are out there checking and have a line on where the birds are and predicting when the flights will be...

Thank you! West, like 210? Or Fargo?

You will find some on the western border of the state. We don't get them like the Dakotas do. I gave up on it because it is a matter of timing, when they come through, you have great shooting for a couple of days...but you don't know when it will happen, and with my luck, I always was sitting in a ...

Hey, snow goose (light goose?) hunters. Please share your experience. Where do you hunt them? It's few days until the season starts. I never tried it, and don't think I saw them anywhere. Where are they? Thanks for any tips!

Hi everybody. Please recommend a decent supplier of good yet cheap firewood. Thank you!

Exactly! my most recent suspicion/paranoia is that when you see the marginalization of gun ownership to a very small percentage of the population as this attempts to do. If you convince people that not many citizens would be affected anyway, any legislation to curb the 2nd amendment or impose new re...

Assuming 243M adults I agree numbers aren't declining and I don't see why these numbers are important at all. The ultimate purpose of the left is to ban and confiscate guns completely. From law abiding citizens of course, not from criminals, which is impossibility as they know very well. And by the...

Total BS. Starting with the claim that gun ownership has declined. What?! I personally know tens of people who recently became first-time gun owners. Do you know ANYONE who got rid of their guns completely? I don't. And then look at this: "Gun rights advocates are often skeptical of gun-ownersh...

Btw, I found some great spots, so thank you everybody, especially JJ for your thoughts. Instead, I was sitting in stand hoping for one of our big boys to come along. :poundon: :doh: :angryvillagers: Any luck with big boys? I've got none but was lucky to watch wolves chasing one, unfortunately too f...

I'm not a hunter, can you put out food for geese in a field? I know you can't for deer. I don't think it's prohibited but it would make absolutely no sense as geese cannot smell it or see it from the sky. Besides, there are lot of fields with plenty of food for them such as corn fields and this is ...

Any thoughts on Fergus Falls area ?

If you ask a CO they will tell you that the extra half hour past sunset is suppose to allow the hunter time to exit the woods before total darkness. But you can legaly shoot a deer up to that half hour past sunset. I think it is changed now but at one time you had to unload and case your firearm af...
