Hunting

The MN DNR is now implementing the Minnesota Draft Deer Management Plan. The goal of the plan is to get more citizen involvement in the population management.

There are less people hunting every year. This causes a growing issue with revenue generated for wildlife conservation, and it's getting worse.

I checked out the new Gander Outdoors location in Hermantown and was quite impressed.

Yes, I'm one of those idiots who waited until the last minute to get a deer hunting license.

Both Minnesota & Wisconsin offer apprentice hunting licenses so you can try out hunting relatively easily.

Local hunters have spotted individuals removing and tampering with their portable deer stands in the Duluth City hunt zone. They are asking for help identifying the people in the following photos.

With hunting season approaching, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reminds everyone that many hunting related tasks can be accomplished by using your smartphone.

PETA recently started an anti-hunting campaign called 'Shoot Selfie's Not Animals.' People were supposed to post pictures of support, but instead many hunters used the Facebook frame to show off their recent kills.

If you hold a Minnesota fishing, hunting or trapping license for 2016, the Minnesota Department Of Natural Resources wants to remind you that they expire Tuesday, February 28.

The 2016 MN firearm deer season opener was on November 5th.  It was 70 degrees that afternoon in Northern Minnesota.  I wore an orange ball cap and a t-shirt with an orange vest.

The Marlin model 336 rifle is a very popular gun used for big game hunting for years.  It's a fantastic rifle, and I love mine.  But recently I've had a problem where after I load ammo and work the action, it gets stuck.  The only way to fix it is to disassemble the gun and put it back together.  How does it happen?  This video explains it.

So you've bagged your deer and you find yourself with a freezer full of venison.  What do you do with all this meat?  This is one of my favorite easy recipe for venison and it turns out great every time.
