This year I bought the lifetime hunting and fishing license for MN. I will become a non-resident soon......and I bought the license before doing so. Now I just have to live long enough to make it pay off. LOL

These shots are coming from the south and west My 15 year old has a bunch of buddies gun hunting this weekend. I asked him if he knew of any first time deer hunters. Turns out most have archery tags and all he knows have been hunting for years. Sounds like population reduction to me.

I wish we could get more kids into archery, lifelong sport that is addicting. Iowa has a great youth program, and there youth archery numbers are excellent, partially due to the fact that many kids can get opportunities at big bucks even on public. It would be interesting to see the percentage of gun hunters to archery in each state. Minnesota would be a big spread... my guess?

Lots of hunters out in my neck of OTC. Heard they are having good luck. Hope they pressure them enough to move and stay unto ours.
Many of these hunters are not first timers just nicer weather hunting.

You’d have to think the National Archery in the Schools Program is helping this don’t you? I’m hoping my girls take it up for the school program. That’s why I bought them Mathews Genesis as starter bows as it’s what they shoot in the schools.
