Finally got out again and it was well worth it. Kind of...
Weather looked good with a northwest wind and a temp. of 20; warmest in about two and a half weeks. Got out to the closest stand there is on my land, the ground blind below the tower overlooking the clover field, about 3:15 p.m.
About 4 p.m. or so a buck came into the clover field from the south. He initially looked nice, but soon realized he was a smaller 2 1/2 year old that looked to be a seven pointer. He came out in front of me and brought his head down below a snow bank I had made clearing out snow in the field. I drew, thinking that I'd never arrowed a buck yet and the season was drawing to an end fast. I had him at 25 yards for a split second before he turned east, straight towards me. I held for about a minute, then he headed south and then east down the logging road towards the pole barn. A doe soon followed, but never presented herself. They proceeded towards the corn plot and then the neighbors.
I hung the bow up again, and looked at my watch. It was 4:40 p.m. I really wasn't expecting much else after that. I had seen another doe that had been coming in with the other two deer in the past couple weeks from the house. I've not seen anything else.
Five minutes later, if that, I glanced south towards the tall grass and big oaks that stand between my land and the neighbors. The tall big buck that's been playing cat and mouse the with me the past month. He stopped, either seeing my movement or something else. He looked for another five to ten minutes before finally moving south to the clover field.
I had ignored the south of me, staring the bigger buck down. There were three does in the field! This was good, they did not see me at all. As soon as the buck got in a thicker section of birch and tall grass I drew and he stopped...cold and hard.
Three minutes at full draw, I knew he would come in at 25 to 30 yards. He did not move. The does did not stop browsing. I was shaking, and had to let up. The front right beam of the tower blind prevented any shot. He bolted, sending the does with him. He blew immediatly, and several times after.
He was a shooter!

Saturday, December 1, 2007
It was cold and had snowed most of the day. I got out around 2:30, plowing out to the field through seven inches of snow. Bumped a doe on the way in. Didn't see a thing until I walked out of the neighbors land to see a doe running out of his front field.

2007 Hunt 32
Sunday, November 25, 2007
Set up the ground blind in the neighbors back field again. The rifle season ended last Sunday, but Saturday was the opener for muzzleloaders. Had to wear orange, and I am not liking it trying to hunt with my bow.
Felt like a good night, the barameter was dropping earlier, and it looked to be overcast most of the afternoon. I had spooked a doe walking in around 2 p.m. About 4 p.m. I started seeing movement on the very north end of the field. Sure enough, there was a big buck. I'm on the very south end of the field, 200+ yards away, with a small crest in the middle of the field.
I tried the can bleat call several times over the next 15 minutes, as well as loudly grunting. The buck would not respond. Saw a big doe enter the field on the northwest corner, but she slipped into the north woodline quickly. I spooked a deer behind me that I could not see towards the end of my grunting. I had no idea what it was, or if was responding to the calls.
Stayed about a half hour after legal shooting, trying not to spook the buck. As far as I could tell, I didn't. Here are some shots from the camera...

2007 Hunts 29, 30, and 31
Friday, November 16th to Sunday, November 18th
Last weekend of rifle season. Chris came up early on Friday, and I was able to take off as well. Nothing all weekend. I checked out the state land south of our place in the morning as Chris hit the woods. Saw a few spots without any hunters, but saw plenty of campers and orange to be apprehensive about hitting any of the bigger pieces of the Rum River State Forest.
I did see a smaller piece that was about 100 acres, and in between a lot of private land, including a cut corn field. We went back in their Saturday night, but did not see anything.
Chris hunted in the a.m. and called it a season. I went back towards the south end of the neighbors land and did not see a thing.

Chris hunted pretty hard both days, getting out each morning as well as both evening hunts. I was not as thrilled with our prospects given what has been a meager season.
Nothing.

2007 Hunts 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26
Rifle season...
Saturday, November 3rd(a.m. & p.m.) and Sunday, November 4th(a.m. & p.m.) we hunted my land with very little movement.
Sunday afternoon, I got set up in a ground blind shack that borders my woods and a clear view of my neighbors front field. About 3:30, just after Chris got into his stand, a doe came out into the field. Five shots later, I had finally taken her down. Concentrating on bow hunting, I should have re-checked the scope on my rifle. My scope was way off, and ended up making a horrible shot to put the doe down.
Ended up running into a couple that was hunting my neighbors back field. They were walking out of the woods when I was approaching the downed doe. They had taken a doe and a small buck and were planning on going back out with a pickup to retrieve them. They invited me to hunt their stand if I wanted. I did. Made a quick adjustment on my scope to avoid the debacle of the shots I had made at the doe. Regardless, I did not see a deer 'til after shooting hour ended, when I was walking out of the field.
I had Monday off, and asked the neighbors for permission to go to their back field. Sally was more than accommodating. I did re-sight my rifle scope in the morning. Off I went for an afternoon hunt. Did not see anything again until past legal shooting time, when I saw a nice skyscraper buck coming out of the swamp!

I took Tuesday thru Friday off this week to concentrate on bow hunting before the two week rifle season begins here.
Tuesday, I headed towards the Rum River State Forest, just a few miles away. I had never been back there in the 11 years I've been in the area. I scouted a little in the morning to get a feel for the land, and where I might find some good hunting. One spot I stopped at was in a fairly older forest area. Walked down a ATV trail(foreshadowing) and found some really nice scraps with some tree rubs near by. This is where I came back for an evening hunt. Did not see a thing, except ATV's whizzing by on the nearby road, as well as a forest employee walking up the trail as I was setting up.
Wednesday thru Friday I stayed on my neighbors property as well as mine. I saw a small four point on Thursday's hunt, but he wasn't close to shooting range, and regardless, would not have taken a shot at him.
Next up: two weeks, including three weekends of rifle season.

Saturday, October 27, 2007
Went out to my ground blind that's been sitting in my neighbor's big field near a swampy, beaver damn filled open area. Nothing. Nothing, until I got out of the blind and saw two deer just coming over the crest in the field. I spooked them both with my first few steps getting out of there. Sat from noon 'til 6:35 p.m.
This is getting frustrating. Gonna sit close to the house, hoping to see some does coming into my clover field. They are hitting my small corn plot near the pole barn, but it's gotta be in the middle of the night as I've not seen one in their since the orphan fawn was hanging there.

Sat in a stand between my big clover field and a smaller plot. It was a bad spot to sit that night with the wind blowing behind me from the north. Didn't matter at all as nothing seemed to be moving. Got down about 6:40 p.m. and saw the bright full moon.

2007 Hunts 13 & 14
Saturday, October 20, 2007
Hunted in a blind that I set up under the tower stand in my clover field. Very quiet evening hunt with no action to speak of. Until I got up to leave and stepped into the field, when I stirred up a doe that had been feeding on the south end, safe for the brush that hid her from my vision.
Sunday, October 21, 2007
Went back out to the neighbors field where I had once again moved the ground blind to the north east corner of the hay field. Upon walking to the field I stirred up a deer feeding, which turned out to be the only sighting of deer that hunt.

Friday, October 12, 2007
Sat in ground blind in neighbors front hay field. Saw four total deer. Two fawns, adult doe, and a year and a half old fork buck. The buck and one of the small fawns were within bow range of the blind I was in. Nice to see some deer moving before dusk.

Early doe rifle weekend. Had to wear orange this weekend even hunting with bow. Sat in an abandoned farm stead of an employee. Had my bow, as I didn't have rifle license for her zone. Did not see anything during this morning hunt.
Spent the rest of day and evening with my wife celebrating our anniversary.
Sunday, October 14, 2007
Decided not to go out on this morning. Last day of early doe rifle, and intended on hunting the a.m. on my property or the neighbors, but slept in 'til 7 a.m.
Standing in front of kitchen window, taking sip of coffee, I see one of the fawns that's been hanging around. This fawn has been alone for the better part of the last month. Still have the early doe tag, so I grabbed the rifle and some orange and intercepted her going towards my small clover field. Had her in the freezer by 10 a.m. We ate some of the tenderloin for supper!!!
Kurt ended up bagging a huge bear later in the morning. Helped drag the 500 lb bruin out with three other men. Luckily Kurt decided on bringing it in to a butcher, so we averted the tasks involved in skinning a good cape and preserving the meat.

Weird, hot weather all weekend. Saturday was near 80, and Sunday was not much cooler.
Sat in the ground blind on Saturday. Was shirtless for two of the four and a half hours I was out. Saw absolutely no deer, but did get a good show put on by these fellows...
Close up of the biggest of the boys...

Saturday, September 29, 2007.
I had moved my ground blind a little closer to where the four deer came out into the field on Friday afternoon. Hunted the blind Saturday afternoon, even with gusts of 30-35 mph. Only saw one deer come out into the field at dark.
I did run into the little fawn doe going into the field.

2007 Hunt 6
Tuesday, September 24, 2007. Got set up after work about 4:30 p.m. in a stand about 200 yards from my house. I had pushed a fawn around when I came into my driveway, but wasn't too worried as she has been a pretty regular on our lawn in mornings and evenings the past two weeks.
About 6:15 p.m. I spotted a fawn coming out of some think saplings. I don't think it was the same fawn I pushed out of my yard earlier, but it was hard to tell.
The fawn browsed on grasses, leaves and whatever acorns were left on the ground. I kept hearing other noises to my left, south of me. Slowly I turned my head towards the south and I spotted an adult doe staring towards my house. She stayed about 50 yards to my south and did not move. I could still hear the fawn browsing around my tree to the north. This lasted about a half hour. The doe would just not move. Finally the doe figured out there was something wrong, as she started staring me down, and pounding her front feet. The wind had been pretty steady from the west, but I noticed it was swirling a little. Sure enough she caught wind of me and took off, blowing a couple times to get her fawn. The fawn slowly and obviously unaware of any danger, moved toward the doe, and they both moved on towards the southwest.
A good night in the stand! Got the heart pumping pretty good. Had I been a right handed shooter I may have been able to get a shot at the doe, but it wasn't meant to be.

2007 Hunt 5
I didn't hunt Sunday as it was above 80 and the wind was swirling from all directions. Watched the Vikes lose in a horrible game instead.
Took off work early the afternoon of Monday, September 24th, and got into the ground blind on the neighbors piece. It was starting to rain pretty hard when I got in the blind, and quickly a small series of thunderclouds rolled in for about an hour. The rain and thunder cleared around 6:30 p.m.
About 7:00 p.m. I could barely see some movement on the far north end of the field. Saw at least one bigger buck and several adult does. They probably got as close as 75 yards by the time I got out of the blind.
Saw a cub bear on the way out!

Sat in a tree stand on Wednesday, September 19th with no deer activity.
Got permission to hunt neighbors land and set up in a ground blind on Saturday, September 22nd for an afternoon/evening hunt. No activity until just before sunset, when a spiked buck came out into the field. Walked in front of blind in bow range. He seemed to know something was up, and when he finally got a little more downwind he blew out of there.

2007 Hunt 2
Second day of the archery season. In a tree by 3:30 p.m. Set up about 100 yards from the house as the wind pretty much dictated as much. Had a south wind most of the hunt, but it was swirling and ended up coming out of the east by the end of the night.
Saw a really small fawn about 6 p.m. and let her go right by. Felt good!

First sit of the 2007 season here in Minnesota. Got in my stand around 3:30 p.m. Saw absolutely no deer the entire sit. A little disappointed, but have another three plus months to get some brown down!
Remembered as I was sitting my feelings at the end of last years deer season. Burnt out, depressed, and ready for it to end regardless of my unsuccessful season overall. Last year resulted in two total deer, both fawns. One with bow and the other during rifle season.
It was a nice cold hunt for the middle of September.

NCAA Wrestling...
It's on!!!
ESPNU that is. If you've got the sports package with DirectTV and are not working today, you'd be able to watch wrestling all day! I'm DVR'ing it as I write.
ESPNU will be covering the quarters and semi's today, with the finals Saturday on ESPN.
Minnesota has two going into the semi's with two more matches at 184(Kish) and HWT(Conrad) in the quarters. Minnesota had two disappointing losses in the earlier quarter round matches with Rivera(#4) loosing to an unseeded Rider wrestler, and CP Schlatter(#4) loosing to #5 seed Poeta from Illinois. Schlatter loosing in the way he always seems to repeat; stalling while ahead.
Overall Minnesota is still in good position for a team championship.
Biggest upset of the tourney so far... Max Askren, #1 seeded freshman from Missouri was upset in the first round and then out for good in the first consolation match.
For more updates look no further than The Guillotine's coverage of Minnesota wrestlers, as well as TheMat.

Vacation time...
Odd time for a vacation, I know! But, for the past nine years I've made a fly-fishing trip to an unnamed river in Montana. It's meant the beginning of spring to me during that time. The ice on the lakes around Minnesota is just starting to melt away. The mud, endless mud that slowly turns to the new green that is soon to envelope the landscape. I do look forward to it as much for this feeling of change as I do for the terrific scenery and excellent fishing. A few more weeks 'til we make the 13 hour glorious drive! A few pictures of a recent visit:

Wrestling...real wrestling! Anyone?
The 2007 Minnesota state wrestling tourney ended Saturday night. Plugging away on my tin can/string internet connection I was able to stay fairly plugged in. Either through the links the Guillotine provided or their forum I was a mere five to ten minutes away from match scores. Not the same as being there, but I got the info I needed.
To my knowledge Minnesota has never televised their state wrestling tournaments. Growing up in southern Minnesota I was treated every winter to Iowa Public Television's coverage of high school and college wrestling.
This weekend was also the Big 10 championships at Michigan State. With a little more hassle and shaking of the tin cans, I was also able to keep up with some of the matches and scoring...mainly from the forum at themat.com.
The past few years have been getting better for this wrestling fan. You can now see some coverage, more so on dish than cable from what I've seen. I can look forward to the upcoming NCAA championships televised on one of the espn's.
As for the Big 10 tourney? I'll get to watch it... Tape delayed sometime this week!
