Deer Hunting

[Zaraspooks]

Hunted just north of McGregor this weekend and only saw one deer. Didn't hear many shots either. Anyone have good success in the McGregor area this weekend?

Saw one buck all weekend hunting near Aitkin. Palisade registration station only had 75 registered Saturday I heard...man that is way down. Ericksons registration in Aitkin only had 123 registered Saturday and she told me 120 of those were bucks...weirrrrd. Why are these numbers down there are a bazillion deer around???

We must of been lucky! We got 3, 1 spike, 1 small 8 pt, and one with less than 1 inch polished antlers. Heard more shooting this year opening afternoon then in the past 4 years. Only saw 1 doe. Saw 4 other deer in heavy brush but not well enough to tell what they were or get a shot.

We were near Palisade, and registered at the Spur on Sun nite. Our deer made 238 so far, but there were 10 guys behind us waiting to register. One truck had 5 deer in it, 3 legal spikes, one polished "button buck" like ours, and 1 doe. Looks like the bucks are running heavy this year. They didn't know how many were registered last year as they were new in that store. Friends down toward Glen had 5 for 9 so far, 4 of those were bucks.

Good luck with the rest of the season!

Hunting partner and I got 3 for the 2 of us on opener. 1 button buck, 1 doe, and 1 10 pointer that will be going on the wall. We are hunting zone 154. Buddy I hunt with never even saw a deer, which is better yet so I can raz him more.

One guy in my hunting party got a three point buck on opening morning. I saw eight does opening weekend and a few during the following week. This past weekend I didn't see a thing though.

Too bad I didn't apply for a doe license or buy one. Oh well I suppose. One more week.
Good Luck everyone

Weekend Two Update - Once again spent the weekend in the woods. 3 hunters = 0 deer. The snow in the woods helped to make seeing things easier but, still didn't see any. Heard very few shots. One more weekend to go.
