Yes, you can take 7 with EA hunting.

lcornice, what about special archery hunts. If I'm in a lottery area and use by either/or tag early on a doe, can I still take a buck in a special city hunt that's in a managed area? How do tags work in special city hunts like this.

Yes. City hunts are treated as something outside the greater permit area. So, if you're hunting say the New Ulm archery hunt and take a doe, you can still take a buck in the lottery permit area. However, if you take 1 buck anywhere you're done on boys since the statewide limit is one. You actually don't get special tags from the cities. They typically give you an authorization to hunt and you use the state licenses and permits.

I hope that answers the question.

I'm also kind of unclear about the city hunt, and I'll be doing one in a month and a half. I was under the impression that there was no limit in the city unless the specific area you are hunting has a specific one (mine does--5). I understand that only one deer in the state can be a Buck, but I assume that with both a Archery and a Firearms license I can shoot 5 does in the metro, then 1 buck and 4 does up north in my intensive harvest area. Not that I will, but isn't that the legal limit in this kind of a situation?

Page 66 of the 2007 hunting synopsis goes over the bag limits.

So, fundamentally, does shot in the metro (601) do not count towards the 5 deer statewide limit. Page 66 states:

STATEWIDE BAG LIMITS FOR DEER

• An individual hunter may only tag one legal buck per year, without

exception.

• In lottery deer areas, only one deer can be tagged per year, without

exception.

• In managed and intensive deer areas, hunters may tag deer on both

their firearms (including muzzleloader) and archery deer licenses.

• The cumulative bag limit for an individual hunter in the archery, regular

firearms, and muzzleloader season is five deer. Exceptions to the

five deer limit are:

- the early antlerless season where two additional deer may be taken.

- deer area 601 (metro deer management zone) and the bovine TB

special area, (deer area 101) which have no limit.

- landowners can take one additional antlerless deer if they have a

free landowner license.

lcornice, thanks. I guess my basic question is, if I wanted to take my first archery deer in a lottery area, I would have to use my either sex tag as no bonus permits are allowed. And since my either sex tag is then gone. No buck allowed in the city hunt, which is in a different area that is managed, because I'd only be able to use bonus permits then. I think you pretty much affirmed that. Thanks.

Is there any need to shoot 7 deer anyway?

If you're living off the land and not eating in unless you're killing it like Ted Nugent! lol. In a joking mood today. BTW, I bet Ted eats beef. But he might shoot it himself. Who knows?

Well, I myself ate about 4 full deer this year. I have a Mother, Father, Sister, and friends that ask me for venison every year. I will try to make everyone happy and shoot 7 deer this year.

Is their a NEED? I believe most consider food a necessity.

I can eat 1-2 myself, and I have 3 other people who want me to shoot one for them. Also, I plan to donate to Second Harvest Food Bank (which I'll pay for & per DNR rules) so if I'm a good enough hunter there will be at least 7 deer that don't go to waste.

I have no problem with it if you use them up, but for some to shoot 7 is just a goal, then to throw it all away or whine and complain that they cant just give it away unless its done from a meat market, thats when I see the issues, and trust me there are those people out there, and you know who you are!

Trust me, there are those of us who can eat 7 deer. Me and my sons shot 4 deer last year, carved them up ourselves and never even gave away one chop. I was out of venison by June and I am really craving a big fat juicy veni steak on the grill right now. I could eat venison 3 days a week. I agree there are those that shoot 7 just because they can, but I will shot them to manage the herd and put dinner on the table.

      water levels

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
