Deer hunting

The firearms deer hunting season started last Saturday. According to the Minnesota DNR deer harvested numbers are down 23% compared to opening weekend last year. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON.

After a decade-and-a-half of sitting in the woods for hours on end every November, I finally am ready to share my theory on deer hunting.

Seeing the happy hunters brought back a memory I had of the first time I went hunting with my dad as a kid.

Nearly 500,000 hunters will take to the woods and the farm fields this weekend for the start of the Minnesota firearms deer hunting season.

In my many years of experience, I've created my own list of deer stand must-haves. Here is what I will have with me in the woods this weekend.

The Minnesota firearm Deer Hunting opener is November 6th and ammunition is still in short supply due to COVID-19 related supply chain issues. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON today. He says with demand high and supply low he's noticing prices increase a bit.

The firearm season opener is Saturday, November 6th in Minnesota. It's basically the big holiday between Halloween and Thanksgiving in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

The Minnesota DNR released their new deer hunting regulations. These regulations for will allow deer hunters to shoot more than one deer in more than half the state. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON this week. He says "for deer hunters to be able to shoot more than one deer is almost unheard of."

Minnesota's most recent reported Bigfoot sighting happened on deer hunting weekend this past November, and it wasn't even a hunter that spotted the creature.

Hopefully you have a blaze orange t-shirt ready to go for Saturday.
