Good evening,

I was fortunate enough to get drawn for the Vermillion special hunt. Any one know any hot spots in the area. I am just looking for some meat to put in the freezer. Thanks in advance.

Well guys didn't see anything while there I always see them by the roadside going in or out. They are usually standing there sticking their tongues at me laughing, or so I figure!

I hunt a public piece of land down the road from there since opener. Seen some does, but not in shooting range. They seemed to be spooked easily. Was driving through there last friday and saw three does standing at the edge of the corn field. I stopped to watch them for a bit. We are having problems with figuring them out on public too. Not very much wooded areas down there, mostly fields. This is our first time hunting down there. Get out as much as possible. I'm not a pro. I learn from trial and error. I've seen deer there. Good luck.

Klee,

I have definetely seen deer there NO BUCKS yet only does and fawns/yearlings but always on the edge of the road and after I leave or while I am going in. Maybe I am just going to hunt as near to the road as I legally can because they are either going into the roads or out of the roads into the woodlines around dusk and dawn so that would be our best option. Yeah hard to pattern them they are very spooked and they do not hesitate to run away unlike other deer.

Good Luck I drive a blud dodge ram if you ever see me out there

Take Care,

David

David,

I hunted it last year and saw the biggest buck of my life (never got within 150yds of me). I hunted the area on the north side, had to use the key to open the gate. Then I went west of the parking area, second bean field back in the corner (close to the gun club). Seen the buck 3 mornings but could not get a shot off. Good luck.

Does that WMA get hit hard during gun?

Yup, so many gun hunters out there during the weekend. I think that's why the deer are not coming out during the day. We can here them moving in the evenings or early before sun up. Mostly open fields, so not much wooded area to work with or hang a stand.

Ya I scouted the WMA in April of last year and again this summer. It's very thick in there and I didn't find anyplace to hang a stand. A ground blind would work well, but if it's crawling with orange it'll still be tough.

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      Bait

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
