Eighty degrees hell ! I’ve had some opening day deer openers just shy of the century mark (south Texas). Yellowjackets are particularly annoyed and will buzz when opening the blind door. To add to it, the wind is gusting at 30 mph and it just doesn’t feel like deer season. But the date sez its all good and out we go to try our luck.
I hunted my back yard on my 40 and some of the 3000 acres of county land behind my house hard the first year I moved here, and I even saw a fork-horn! And many wolf tracks.
Then I learned I live at the intersection of 3 wolf packs and the neighbor to the north doesn’t bury his dead cattle, just dumps them in the corner of his dirt.
At least the wife saw a mounrain lion less than 3 miles away, the bobcat keeps crossing my field and the hawks and owls got my chickens, so life in the swamp is still better than any city you could possibly name.
Spent a week in the Detroit Lakes area again two weeks ago. Love your state. Even the lesbian who sold me my fishing license hates Walz.
Been there, done that. Take a deer in those conditions and you need to let it sit so all the ticks disengage and crawl off. It’ll change your mind about hunting before a freeze believe me. And by the way deer ticks carry Lyme Disease and that shit will ruin your life. Be careful.
