What a terrible weekend 6guys 0 shots, near north bemidji. I spent 3 full days and 1/2 day on stand and seen a flicker of a deer, that's all. Hope others did better.
My group is pretty much done. We went three for four (lottery permit area this year, 175), but my wife is the fourth and she hasn't really been in the woods but a couple of hours so far. She still has lots of season left to fill her buck only tag. Deer harvest seems to be down dramatically in our area. Very few shots heard and very few deer reported seen. I think the weather has something to do with it, but have not seen this little of sign in most areas we hunted since the '97 season. A short, but sweet, season for my brother, nephew,and myself, but now the real fun begins, I get to watch the kids the next two weekends!!!
If you've got short, stubby fingers and wear reading glasses, any relaxation you would normally derive from fly fishing is completely eliminated when you try to tie on a fly. ~ Jack Ohman, Fear of Fly Fishing, 1988
Hope others did better.
