Doe Permits

[icehole10]

The results for doe permits are out now on the DNR page.

Saw that as well.  No luck for me again this year.  My hunting buddy also struck out.

That means we'll see a million does and no bucks again.  i swear the does seem to know who has the permits and who doesn't.

Thanks for the notice. I struck out as well, but glad to know now instead of wondering if mine got lost in the mail!

No-go for me as well.  I'm not sure what others might be seeing, but I'm seeing MANY more young bucks on my cameras this year - more than does, even, which usually dominate my picture results in early fall. They're almost all 1.5-2.5 year old deer with smaller fork or six pt racks.  I usually see nothing but does on non-permit years as well, but I'm optimistic that there will be a couple of eager young bucks in teh mix as well.

I posted pics of a little sparring match I caught on one of my cameras between two young bachelors on the photography forum.

I hate to rub it in, but my wife and I both were drawn this year. I think this was year number three for us, so I guess its our turn.

I can't remember if we even had a lottery in my zone in the past [180] but this is the first time I ever applied and I got mine.  Here is the link.  http://www.dnr.state.mn.us./licenses/lotteries/anterless.html . good luck.

None for me in permit area 156. I don't know how I'll start the camp stove now 

[ANYFISH2]

No go for the wife and I in 246.

[Jeff13]

We got 3/5 in 246. Last season 0/5, and we saw more deer hands down than any other year in the past 20. Wish we would have had them last year.

No go for me but my wife and father in law each drew

[jbell1981]

1/2 in area 272. Been a few years since either of us has had one. 

[PurpleFloyd]

I got one, my dad got one and at least 3 others in our group got one.

Went out to my son's stand to scout and we ended up seeing nearly a dozen deer out at dusk. 

Now that a noisy few got the audit thing passed there is silence on the lack of deer that are supposedly out there. Do you suppose the whole thing worked so good that it caused the population to rebound before the audit even happened and a single change suggested by said audit was implemented?

[SmellEsox]

So you go out and see a dozen deer at your son's stand and now the state is overrun with deer?  If you actually read all the DNR meeting and survey results, it wasn't a "noisy few".  It was a noisy majority.

I think it's kind of funny that we (me included) wait with excitement to see the lottery results for a doe tag in Minnesota.  Ends up being the talk at work for a few days. "Did you get your doe tag?''   "I sure did (beaming with pride like a first time father)"

I hear ya, the first year I was able to deer hunt I was 12 years old and back then, it didn't matter your age, you had to apply for a doe permit. I'm now at the age where if I shoot a deer great, if not, great, but I still get a little excited to get drawn!
