good for you - me too - lol

as far as whitetail are concerned - i may have to take exception - we have great hunting here - bow hunting starts with small game season around sept 15 and goes until dec 31 - with the 2 rifle weekends out of season - i live on the metro area edge - and since whitetails are considers hooved locus in the metro area bowhunters can take up to 5 - intensive harvest permits - deer from the metro area - i took 3 last year - 2 does and an 8 point 200#er

my buddies and i have a 750 acre hunting camp in northcentral minnesota - we got it about 20 years ago as rolling farmland with a smaller river that runs through it with 3 low land slews and 2 wooded tracts - we put it into the conservation program for tax credits and such and over the years have built 20 platforms throughout the property - we have to follow the state guidelines - but not a problem - we have 5 feedplots in there as well as 150 acres of corn - we lease the land to a local farmer - in good years he combines for us during our weekends - he claims to have been seeing a 14 pt last summer - but noone saw such a creature during the season

we split the weekends alternating yearly - but it really hasn't made much difference as both groups tend to fill out - last fall we went 2nd weekend and we got filled 6 of six - my buddy t get a terrific 12 pointer - should have been mine - but the stupid creature cleared the woods and turned towards t's stand and not mine - watched the sucker stroll right up to t's stand - i told him he should have gone native on it and jumped on him from his stand and used his knife as any shot under 10 feet is not sporting - i never get gimmees - which makes it a good thing that i can shoot straight - lol
