I hunted 3 full days of the Mn opener. Not ONE deer spotted. The nice weather kept them holding tight. Last weekend I hunted Thursday afternoon and all day Saturday and Sunday. I saw one little buck with a fork on one side and about a 16" spike on the other. Sunday, I crawled up in an old double ladder that I put up years ago. Perfect conditions in the morning, 29*, SE wind. I saw a doe and a fawn.

Sunday afternoon, I went back to my blind, hoping to see a rutty buck come through the river bottom. But alas, it was just the bucktard, forky spike from the day before. Probably should have culled him.

Sunday evening was a gorgeous 55* at sunset:
