My Hunting “Journal”
Here, I will post my hunting stories as I go throughout the season, and things I learn along the way. May or may not include pictures. I am from central MN. This will be my first year hunting public, and my first out of state hunting as well! I got 4 tags for Wisconsin. (Bow and rifle) Got my permit late, and I have brother in Wisconsin, so have to meet him which limits my hunt time in Wisconsin. Overall I’m excited for my first year of Beast style hunting and excited to share with whoever is interested! Also I have no friends who have the drive to hunt the way I do… If anyone is in similar boat, how to deal with that? I enjoy hunting with buddies, but sucks when I want to go mile in swamp and they wanna sit over food plot :/

Re: My Hunting “Journal”
I'm in Wisconsin and I have the same thing with all my buddies want to sit the same stand. They just don't have the same desire for adventure that I do . I'm out scouting a different place every weekend. Good luck to you this season.

The amount of knowledge to learn by hunting different areas every sit is not even matchable. What makes the style we love so great!

Why do you have to meet your brother?
If you have doe tags they have to be unit specific by county in that unit, is that what you mean by limiting?
Good luck and believe what you see as far as sign. Don't second guess yourself and since you will have limited time be aggressive.

Would u agree that casting a different lure every single cast while fishing offers the same benefit? I mean what do u learn by such a scenario? Something finally did what u wanted and now it’s the way to go? There isn’t no great knowledge that any chosen ones have been gifted by god. It’s about free time, common sense, and having access to a good area. You think I’m full of it fine. But ask folks to show their target buck b4 the season starts! Watch how that goes… Easy to look back through thousands of buck pics after the fact! Easy to request a pic from the expensive outfitter one just paid off. But how come nobody calls there shot upfront? I don’t even hunt a specific buck and I will play.
Life is hard; It’s even harder if you are stupid.

Because I only have permit, and it is a 4 and a half hour drive just to my brothers place for a few day hunt. Limiting is meaning that I am limited on time, I do not have license, so I cannot simply leave to go to Wisconsin to hunt, rather my parents meet my brother halfway, which he lives in Wisconsin. Also, for anyone asking... I mean drive like I have no friends who want to hunt beast style. Or have the motivation to do what I do. Hopefully I find some buddies on here. Have a great day man!

So you’re under 16 years old is what you’re saying.
And your parents drive you to your brothers place or halfway there he picks you up and then you get to hunt on his land or the public land that he hunts.
Well, all I can say is that, you are far ahead of me when I was that age. Because I had all the desire, but none of the knowledge.
See if you can find yourself a copy of Ken Norberg’s deer and deer hunting, the first, second or third edition.
Ken is the first person to fully document the rut and all the phases of the rut. And he pioneered hunting out of tree stands, he was the first person to write about it in Minnesota.
You will never see the deer or the wood the same after reading his book.
Then, watch all Dan‘s videos, and you should be able to sneak up and get close to any do you want to.

Re: My Hunting “Journal”
First of all, thank you guys for looking at this post. It’s a week and one day away from opener here in MN! Over last two nights, I seen a nice 8-10 point come out of bedding with a NW wind (wind coming from bedding). He may only be a 110, but hey I might try for him. First deer/buck with bow… I’d be pretty excited. Lots of does. Btw this is my private property. Thing is there are bigger bucks running around, be fun to hold off and hunt more for bucks. We will see how bad I’m shaking. I’ve gotten nice pics of good deer, which I will attach.

Re: My Hunting “Journal”
I know this is not a hunt, but something that seems overlooked sometimes, when looking at what you need for beast style hunting. Shooting. I was pretty confident that I was set for the season with my target practice. Went out two days ago to shoot and confirm my confidence, when I shot left. Way left. I had to shoot well over 100 times to get back on target. Follow through and the level. Make sure you practice! If I had not found that out, I may have wounded a deer instead of killing a deer. At least I would have harassed it... But seriously, praise God that I practiced. I am now confident once again, but will be shooting this week as well. Have a good season guys! Next post will be most likely about my opening weekend/ first beast style hunt!
