    I hunt private land in the South metro and Renville County. I'll be buying my new bow at A1 Archery in Hudson. Haven't been impressed with some of the local shops.

    I am a little concerned currently I have 3 what look to be yearling does, and only 1 doe with a fawn on camera on a regular basis. I also have an occasional doe that has wire around her neck. Seems like the fawn numbers are down, as well as buck sightings. I know having the does the bucks will come but it seems overall the population is down and this is in an area with little hunting pressure, and 3 easy winters in a row.

    I have 1 doe with 1 fawn... The last 3 years I've always had a doe with 2 fawns, and the last 2 years I've had a doe with 3 fawns.

    0 shooters on camera.

    I've got 2 bucks on camera that I would probably shoot. Little fawn activity at my place as well. Not terrible but nothing like in the past. Getting an awful lot of coyote pictures.

    I hunt both private and public in Olmsted and Fillmore Co. (SE MN). I went to pull my SD card about two weeks ago and the camera had stopped taking pictures but I was able to catch a glimpse of a really nice buck making his way through some overgrown grass which helped improve my mood. Other than that there are a couple of other younger bucks I have early pictures of. Anyone hear anything about what they will be doing for the 603 zone?? I hunt around there and I assume there will be quite a few tags available for purchase which is a little bit of a catch 22...that area gets hunted pretty heavily but given the mild winter we had I think the deer pop. should be okay...we will see what happens I suppose.
