I saw someone resurrected this thread; I read my answer back in 2021 but clipped out everything but my comment on deer hunting in MN. I never again hunted whitetails in MN at the shack mentioned above; my hunting buddy ending his life Oct 27 of that year. In another week, I will mark the third anniversary of his death. I miss him dearly.
Sorry for your loss, I too go to Northern MN every year for the deer season. For me the main reason is to walk the trails and sit the stands that Dad and I did for so many year before he passed.
I still go, generally an open seat on my stand if you follow me...
Hope you can return one of these Novembers, won't be easy but I doubt you'll regret it either.

You guys are making me homesick. I decided to hunt with one of my long time friends (50 years we've been hunting together) so I got a NR Minnesota deer license. Haven't hunted there since 1991.

I fully understand your feelings. My wife lost her son 5 years ago next week. Last year was our first elk hunt since his death. We didn't make a serious hunt, but at least we were out in the country! memtb
One of my favorite hunts since I took up LRH is hunting the foothills of the Wyoming Bighorn mountains for whitetails that are on the move from the farmlands to the hills early and late in the day. Usually set up on a hill at roughly 500 yards and glass for the big boys.

There is no doubt in my mind that archery hunting for Bull elk is number one in my opinion. The mountains, the elk the atmosphere all contribute to an experience like no other. Rifle hunting for elk is a close second, but the American West has a calling that is difficult to duplicate.
