[Guest]

I will be south by the Iowa Border

[trackerbrent]

All the way to a little south of Zimmerman on private land. Long 15-20 minute drive for me. Wife likes it though, I come home after the morning hunt and go back for the evening hunt.

[swedishpimple]

30 Miles north of Bemidji...just off the Rez.

[SMILEY]

10 miles West of Pine River. It's also my son's 1st time deer hunting - It's also his 9th birthday on Sunday. Glad the weather is going to be decent!

trackerbrent,

Sounds just like me and I am in same area. I am west of Orrock a couple of miles on private land. I am still tossing up the idea of going to Mille Lacs fishing and hunt the second weekend, but we will see. I feel being this close to Shurburne Nation Wild Life Ref., opening morning is the best chance at a good sized buck. It seems like after the first day, they only move at night.

USPENAMC,

I have heard that Rum River is a mad house also! I have been told, if you want a good shot at a good sized buck on public land, you have to go above Macgregor area. Unless you deer drive and go into interior. I drove by Rum River on the Third weekend a couple years back and is was still very busy and a lot of blaze orange! I have never hunted it though!

[MNmikew]

Oglvie area, 157.

Vergas, MN on relatives private property and farmland.

[vrodharley77]

Denmark Township here in the metro, 4 weekends and with the work schedule LOTS OF HUNTING!!! oh and a happy wife because I am home every night

Well only during the week

[Jameson]

Bergan Township, near Lester Prairie. I'll likely be distracted watching roosters as the big buck slips on by.

[TrophyEyes]

Benson on 340 acres of CRP surrounded by woods, water, corn and beans. Oh yeah, and not a office chair in site, just a wood plank and some clean air. I just hope that 12 point buck sees it the same way.

[Double D]

SW of Pine River, apparently not too far from Smiley.

[USPENAMC]

shackbash,

yes rum river is full of hunters i have hunted it 3 years i think or maybe 4 and hunter numbers keep growing but i have only seen another hunter walk bye once in 4 years. The woods are thick depending where you set up. But we havent had much luck the past 2 years. ive had more luck on carlos avery. last year the wed after opener i shot one and this year on bow opener i shot a doe. IM REALLY thinking of braving the crowds and going to carlos avery for opener i have a few spots that i like but i bet alot of people like them too.

[USPENAMC]

i did go to sherburne once bow hunting saw alot of small game hunters and nothing els. I bet its really a zoo on opener and there is less cover than in rum river. the good thing is that half the people go to the mille lacs wildlife management area too

[lunker651]

Down south, Iowa and minnesota border.
