My bow season so far

Archery deer season opened here in Minnesota on Sept. 19th.  It was kind of warm for hunting. I hunted Sept. 25th & 26th with no luck.  We're in a drought right now.  The deer gotta go to the Mississippi river for water.  I'm about 3/4 of a mile from the river as the crow fly's, so it takes the deer a while to get back to my food-plot. I decided to head back to my apartment on the 28th and wait for it to cool off.  Meanwhile it's cooled off a bit, and my dad moved into my blind after I left. He got him a spike on the 30th. One of four deer that came in. Haven't heard what the other three deer were. I'll be back there next Wednesday.  It's rained some and will be in the 40's for highs when I go back.

Keep after it !

 Our general season starts in two week

Woke up to 2 1/2 inches of snow this morning.  It didn't help the hunting.  Saw the same doe and fawn in the same spot just as I was gettin ready to leave.  The snow should melt tomorrow.  But we got more snow comin for Monday.

Had 4 come in tonight.  First 1 in might have been a spike or a doe without fawns, it was to dark and far away to tell.  Then a doe and single fawn came in.  While I was watching them a big bodied single deer came across the field.  When it got close to the food-plot the doe and fawn scurried off a ways so I figured that one was a buck for sure.  He was working his way towards me.  But I ran out of light before he could get close enough.  I have one more afternoon before I have to go back to my apartment.  I'll be back in a week.

 In Montana we can't bait any thing. If we get caught even with in a 1000 yards from a grain spill we can get a fine and lose our hunting  for 5 years.

Well, I was going to hunt for the next week.  But we've had a lot of rain and now we are getting wet snow.  My van will never get me back to my blind without getting stuck.  I'll be lucky if I can get to it by opening firearm season November 7th.

No luck.  Time to get out my 308 and get it ready.
