Reilley Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I have not been to the area we hunt since the second week of October. Has anyone been in the area? Do you think the rut will be in full swing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishin Dood Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Where abouts do you hunt Reilley? Our deer camp is west of Haypoint/Swatara. Do you ever make it down to the Corner Club?It's been a while since I was up there also. So I don't have much for info for you. Anyone else hunt the area?

Reilley Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 We have a camp at the end of the Spang road (north of North of Hill City 3 miles) and we hunt north and west of the camp about 4 miles. We make it down to the corner club every year for a few cold ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iland99 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 My in-laws hunt/own a pile of land just west of the Corner Club. The big power lines cut across their land. I usually fill my tag with my dad about 10 miles north of Aitkin, then buy a bonus tag and try to help them out for a day or two on the 2nd or 3rd weekend. We're usually at the Corner Club at some point during grouse and deer season. New ownership this year though........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iland99 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Almost forgot, I was down there weekend before last (October 24th/25th) helping work on deer stands and grouse/duck hunting. We saw a normal amount of deer sign, a ton of grouse, and no ducks. It sounds like the rut is really gearing up west of Aitkin from talking to some of my bow hunting buddies.

JimmyJames Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Own a cabin west of Swatara, deer are way down in the area. DNR lettin too many deer get shot, should be permit area. I'm up every weekend in the fall, maybe saw 10 deer. I think the rut will be peak. Good luck, let the does go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinnerPail Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Stop by the Corner Club the 14th, our local sportman's club will be holding their annual gun raffle that night. Usually a pretty good crowd that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeviShot Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Sounds like fun, anyone know of any good hunter hang outs about 40 miles north of hill city? We'll be hunting in the Wabana area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reilley Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 The Lawrence Lake Legion on Scenic 7 would be a good place for a few cold beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPN LIPS Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 We hunt south of Hill City and were up there scouting on the 24th and 25th of October and the sign was good. I think we'll be seeing the rut a little earlier than last year. The deer down in the cities seem to be moving, I'm starting to see alot of road kill.
