Anybody still out trying? I may go out soon n try to fill my last doe tag. I'm transitioning into coyote mode. Checked on a beaver complaint this afternoon. Found a bank den. Looked in and got a face full of a 250#bear Kind cool.
I’ll be back in Illinois on Monday afternoon and back in the stand Tuesday morning. Love December deer hunting! A lot more pleasant since I picked up the Fanatic setup. Need to take a couple does.
Ill be out for a couple hunts this week. Its getting much colder and I hope it gets them moving. Good luck to all of you guys.
Jsteph. Where I live, bear tags are over the counter. I will point you in the right direction. Didn't really feel like it but had time to hunt this evening. Beautiful out for this time of year. Sat in a slam-dunk doe stand only to be skunked. Lol.
Bnb, I figured you might be in a no-quota zone when I saw NW Minnesota. Hunted International Falls a few years ago and had a great time. Wife’s aunt owns a cabin around Federal Dam and thought about that area, but it’s draw also. I may take you up on the offer for a starting point.
First bow sit in 30 plus days. Still rifle seaaon but there is something about a snowy decemeber bowhunt. I do have one buck still alive I would shoot! Fingers crossed he comes into the plot tonight!
Well boys i got sick as a doggg! Ended up getting this f****in virus im good now i was laid up for awhile were in muzzleloader/bowseason right now till tuesday i feel up to it im going out in the morning.... This virus is no joke... put me on my ass! I ended up testing positive shortly after i took my son out and stayed in my camper to protect my family thank god they didnt have to go through what i did!

Most bowhunters have never thought about doing drives but they are and can be super effective. So if you guys have a day to get some buddies together, go for it. Made 2 drives along a river this morning for some friends. First drive, one missed 3 deer, next drive the other missed one. They are normally stone cold killer's but they were both off their game today. Lol.
Made a few more drives Sunday. Since they were struggling with shooting, they vollenteered me. Easy-peasy
