Inevitably, like death and taxes, each deer season I hear from frustrated hunters unhappy with how their season transpired.
It usually revolves around a few topics: not seeing enough deer, enough bucks, or enough mature bucks. It’s no secret that Minnesota has a lot of deer hunters, and that we hammer the antlered segment of the herd.

‘If I have to shoot does, I’ll carry a Jackpine Stick’
In the mid-1960s, Wisconsin had a “party permit” rule that was considered racy by a good share of the deer hunters – four people could apply as a group for one extra deer tag, which could be used only on an antlerless deer.
