I was wrong. Misread a section of the handbook that only pertained to Zone 3. The rule made to much sense to make it state wide I guess.....lol

Don't think the whole state is that way is it? Thought it was just in the 300 area you couldn't party hunt for bucks? Nice deer!

It's only for 300 that you can not cross tag a buck.

You can still party hunt for bucks every where else in the state.

Nice deer Elwood. A year to remember for you.

Don't want to clog the picture sight but i was going by this! I think the rest of the state stayed the same.

300-series deer seasons

Several new regulations are being implemented in all 300-series deer areas. These regulations are in effect for the archery, 3A and 3B firearms, and muzzleloader seasons. The regulations:

Institute a four-point to one side antler point restriction. Only bucks that have at least one four-point antler can be legally harvested. This regulation will be in place during all seasons (archery, 3A, 3B, muzzleloader). Youth hunters age 10 - 17 do not have to comply with the regulation; they can continue to take any antlered buck. However, adults cannot take an antlered deer for a youth hunter.

Prohibit buck cross-tagging. In all 300 series deer areas, hunters cannot tag antlered bucks for each other. Hunters can still take and tag antlerless deer for each other.

Lengthen the 3A season to nine days. The 3A season will be from Nov. 6-14.

Go to page 77 of the regulations.

Clearly states the no buck cross tagging is for:

SPECIAL REGULATIONS IN 300-SERIES DEER AREAS

ONLY (338 – 349)

Here's my doe on opening day, hunting with my grand-daughter, who's in her first year. She almost had one yesterday but as she was ready to pull the trigger, someone else shot close to her and spooked her deer. She was a little bummed.full-130-2952-dscf3380.jpg

Here's my cousin, Jason Clusiau, who bagged this beautiful 13 pointer yesterday. Shot part of the rack off too but that will be fixed up by the taxidermist.full-130-2953-dscf3391.jpg

My son's first deer! He has put more than a few hours on stand for the last couple years! He shot this nice doe at 3pm Saturday. She came in behind us, walked to our left and presented broadside. I told him to shoot, but he told me a tree was in her vitals(I was in a stand right next to him). She hadn't seen us yet, so he waited a few seconds. Of course, she turned straight towards us and busted us from 15 yards! I told him to shoot. He made a fantastic shot with my .308 through the heart and exiting the ribs. We talked after about the shot and how I would not have normally taken that shot, but since this is the first deer he has seen on firearms opener in two years, I would make an exception. I am very proud of him.

Read page 78 in the handbook under Buck-cross tagging. does this apply to only area 300 or to the entire state? I read it as to apply to all hunters, license types and seasons, which means all areas, thus, the entire state.....what is your take on it?

Wow there's a beaut. Wall hanger? Congrats on the trophy...

Thanks fishinfey8. This one is going on the wall for sure as I have not shot anything like it in years past and we don't see any this size on the family farm I hunt. The funny part of the story is that he came out only 40 minutes into the start of the ND season and that was it for me.

My daughters first deer ever, after hunting for 3 years and not even seen a deer. My wife (who is not a hunter...yet) sat with her. The whole county could hear them screaming excitedly when she shot.

My sons first deer. I was the lucky one that got to sit with him when he shot this nice doe. You can see the stand in the background.

I am extremely proud of both kids.

Great pics with the kids and their first deer. Mt two need to get a little older before I can get them out. Can't wait for that day to come.

      Kudos for doing this. I'm sure a lot of fishermen would not have.
    • MikeG3Boat
      I know it has been raining all week but anyone have any walleye reports?  Heading up for the holiday weekend and want to do some fishing.
    • MikeG3Boat
      Partyonpine, Would you be willing to share in what areas you were getting some nice Bluegills?  I am on the east end on big bay and would like to find some good panfish.
    • partyonpine
      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.
    • Shulsebus
      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there. 
    • SkunkedAgain
      Those are some fine specimens. Great job
    • gimruis
      I'm quite shocked to hear that a walleye tournament is still doing a live weigh in.  Virtually every event these days around here is doing a catch, photo, and release format.   Regardless, nice work.  Congrats.
    • LakeofthewoodsMN
      On the south end...   A great week of fishing with walleyes and saugers caught in good numbers.   The go-to presentation, again, was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 17 - 21' of water.  Various schools of walleyes and saugers across the south shore.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.   Some big pike and jumbo perch being caught by walleye anglers. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers normally head to the lake.  12 - 15' of water is holding some nice fish.   Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes being caught along with a mixed bag.  12 - 25 feet of water.  Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water were holding good fish this week.    The go-to presentation was a jig and minnow as on the south shore.  A mixed bag as is common around the Angle.

      Nice work!   Here's two words you hardly ever hear anyone say anymore.  "grateful and humbled"   
    • Brianf.
      RLG, thanks for the shout-out!     Jeff and I are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend.  We are humbled and full of gratitude  for having won 'The Classic' for a second time.     We practiced through all the rain on Thurs and the wind on Friday and found six different spots holding big fish.  Fishing was good on both days with several 'overs' in our catch...but would it hold up for another day?   We didn't know.     On tourney day, we made a long run to our first spot where I lucked out on a 26.5"er on my second cast.  Jeff followed up with a thick 27" er a few minutes later, which turned out to be the big fish for the event at 7.26lbs.  We finished out our limit and weighed-in at 10:30 am for the welfare of the fish in our livewell.    There were some big weights in this event which would have won in most other years, but - for whatever reason - this was our day.  Everything just went our way.  Again, we are just super grateful and humbled by this success.  We also want to congratulate all the other anglers who did well and give a big 'thank you' to the tournament organizers who put on such a great event!
