The moose study, in northeastern Minnesota, is a collaborative effort of the Minnesota DNR, the 1854 Treaty Authority, and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

There were fresh deer droppings and tracks all over a corner of the beanfield that had just been combined during the previous week.
The problem? The corner was 15 yards from a well-traveled road with homes all along it as it winds around one of the most popular lakes in this area of Minnesota. Deer were certainly feeding here under the cover of darkness. So, where were they entering the field and how could I catch them during daylight?

A year ago, wildlife officials with the Minnesota DNR were quick to caution that one mild winter might not move the needle in a big way when it comes to what deer hunters could expect to see during the state’s 2024 gun season.
Now, the question is what will a second straight year of similar weather conditions mean for the deer herd as hunters head to the woods for the firearms opener Nov. 8?

Outdoor users in Minnesota may know Blane Klemek as the northwest region wildlife manager with the state’s Department of Natural Resources.
That job with an emphasis on wildlife and the outdoors certainly fits with how Klemek lives his life. He’s a passionate adventurer focused on fishing, hunting, and camping. For 25 years he has gone on winter camping trips, usually with about five other friends in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of northern Minnesota.
“Sometimes it can be an absolute challenge with cold temperatures and snowfall,” Klemek said. “But with experienced people, many hands make light work.”
Back in 2011, wildlife researchers began noticing a trend: declining wild turkey numbers in parts of the country. The initial concern focused on southern states and the southern Midwest.
“Originally that’s where the concerns kind of blossomed,” said Dr. Michael Chamberlain, a National Wild Turkey Federation distinguished professor at the University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. “But I think the evidence is pretty clear that since then there’s a growing recognition that populations are declining in a number of other states, including some of the northeastern states and some of the Upper Midwest states.”

My wife and I were in our kitchen almost 15 years ago on a summer Sunday afternoon when I brought up deer hunting, a subject she’d heard me mention frequently.
“I want to get really good at bowhunting whitetails,” I said.
“OK,” she responded, barely looking up from the task she was tending to.
“I don’t think you understand,” I told her. “What I have been doing isn’t working. I’m not seeing the results I want, and it’s going to take me committing to this far more than I have been.”
Archery humbles a person every season, but big-buck sightings and deer kills in general have grown substantially since making real changes after that conversation.

One thing that helps get me through the heart of a bowhunting offseason is analyzing gear for my mobile hunting style.
This mobile approach has helped me shoot a lot more deer, but it can become a mental grind during certain times. It helps to have an efficient system dialed in to effectively hunt this way during what can be 95 degrees and mosquitoes during the early season and 20-below zero temperatures in December.

This summer has featured some destructive storms in parts of the Upper Midwest.
Eric Morken has bowhunted a river-bottom system for whitetails for seven years and spends a weekend scouting out there in August each year. This past weekend on that annual scouting/camping trip, he quickly realized a storm that came through in June had completely altered most of his favorite locations.
