Do you Minnesotans hit the peak of the rut during your gun deer season? Yes, I experience peak rut during deer rifle season. Wisconsin bow hunters have that advantage and block any attempts to change gun season dates. Gun season is tied to Thanksgiving week and this year is last week of this month. Not much hope for seeing rutting bucks.

Three of us sat a combined 32 hours, over the weekend. Total deer sighted = 0 Minimal pics on the 2 trail cams & all between 9pm & midnight. THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. Unbelievable !! Just talking to my neighbour, who was driving home in his skidsteer on Saturday afternoon. 4:55pm, 50 yards from one of our trails & 150 yards from stand area. Apparently, he just stood there & looked, while 3 photos were taken !

It's going to be a looong week. If it's cold and windy I'll probably be sitting in this: If not I'll sit in this: And hopefully get a shot at this: With this:

Idk Big Jelly, if it's that cold and windy, I'd sit in that truck. It looks like in as good of a spot as that blind.

One thing that is nice about that spot is the blind is dug into the side of a steep hill. It makes it pretty easy to slip in there undetected.
