Archery mule deer hunt


Scoot

Recommended Posts

I leave one week from today to do a four day archery mule deer hunt. I can't wait! Lots of rain out there this year, so there's been some great antler growth. I'm very pumped to get out there and give it a shot. We'll do a 1 1/2 day pack in trip to an area that should see virtually no traffic. We'll spend one night there, then head to some of the usual day trip-type spots after that. I'll take my camera and get lots of pics- hopefully some will be worth showing here. Wish me luck!!!

Looking forward to it Scoot!

If I get lucky this year I'll be heading to Nodak for an archery hunt myself around the end of the month.

Go Black Betty! grin

Good luck Scoot!!! What state?

We'll be headed to our usual haunts in Western ND. I had a buddy in the same general area this past weekend and he got 18 yards from the biggest of five bedded bucks. He was a very nice 4x4. He threw a dirt clump to get him to stand up, but instead of standing up, the buck rocketed out of his bed- went from 0 to 50 in nothin' flat! He never even got a shot. I can totally relate to this...

Sounds like my kind of luck! Are you guys hunting North of I-94 or South of it?

4 of us are headed to NW S.D. Sept. 19th for antelope. Most of the pre-hunt prep work is done, now we wait. UGH!!! We are hoping to scout an area out there for mulies too. I need to break my mule deer curse! crazy

I plan on taking alot of pics and doing a right up too.

We're back! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera today and I'll be pretty busy at work the next couple days. I'll try get something together as soon as I can...

As a primer- it was a really fun trip! The weather and moon were perfect and we saw a lot of deer. Multiple arrows were flung this trip...

Sounds like you had fun, can't wait to read about your trip.

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      if you have a jig and a minnow, lots of fish on all depths. Trust your electronics

      What did you catch that furry one on, a special flying lure?

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
