It's not just up there Dave, the deer were just not moving much at all after Saturday opener.

The DNR has no clue really of deer numbers and they have admitted it after the comment by the lady here in Bemidji last year.

Lou Cornicelli the DNR big game coordinator is really trying to improve the population I believe. We had to many years of surplus tags, the CWD, and lower enforcement on archery and ML.

These are all factors that have a screwed up population. None of the does we have seen or talked to others were freshened. They were all dry. Which seems very odd maybe Brent has insight on that.

I still think the MN DNR needs to be more open with their management programs and let folks know what is being done beyond the annual report.
