    I got this in an email today. Jefferson and 24th is right in the middle of town. 24th Ave is one of the main drags for commuters both to downtown and UMD... Hey, I think I was at a house party once at the house in the background:D

    Picture taken on Jefferson Street and 24th Avenue (one block up from London Road) in Duluth, MN.
    This buck is gigantic!! Look at the size of the body, not just the rack!!!

    Duluth does have an In-City bowhunt. Of course, not in the middle of the residential area, but where my house used to be.

    I've lived here two years now, but my dad & step-mom have been here since '91.

    Nah. Well, not yet anyway.

    The lake I'm on is private access, so I'm even more secluded than most of th BWCA. Last I looked about 1800 acres that I've never seen evidence of another hunter:D

    We fish Superior alot in the summer, up there all the time. Ive also been known to catch trout in Burntside. 3 years ago we tried a Oct. bowhunt in the BW, man what a chore.
