Bowhunting land

[simplefish]

I am looking for a place to bowhunt this fall. I don't own any land and am pretty much restricted to hunting public areas. While hunting last year I was almost shot with a shotgun and had several pellet showers on my head from bird hunters. So I am shying away from public areas, at least till bird seasons over. I am willing to help out with whatever needs helping. I don't over hunt and take out everything I bring in (if lucky, more). Thanks ahead.

I see you live in Anoka.

If you're able to spend a Saturday driving around in your area scouting for some favorable wood lots, I'd do that; find the landowner and ask permission. If you're not looking to kill a trophy and just want to take a Doe, it can make getting permission easier from those saving it for Gun season--just explain your intentions.

You may want to negotiate a small cash payment for the privilege of using it for yourself during the early Bow season.

Good Luck!

Whetther you are hunting for bear or deer, I highly recommend you contact Kelly Petrowski. They also have private duck hunting parcels as well.

simplefish.......whats your experience with bow hunting? I have land but its down by mankato. But willing to help you out if you can help me out finding goose hunting land around the metro or donate some new trail cameras

Last year there were 6 does and 4 bucks taken by bow last year on our land by 12 hunters (my deer came from different property). ONly bow hunters allowed.

Sorry it took so long to get back to reply. I was down in Iowegia. As for an answer to your question korn-fish, I am 19 and have bowhunted for 5+ years now. I have been rifle hunting for about 6. I don't rifle hunt much anymore because I enjoy bowhunting much more. I haven't taken an animal with a bow yet. The first couple of years were spent "waiting for the right one." Never saw him till after the season closed. I have drawn on deer (and various other anoying animals), and missed a shot at a doe last december after banging my sight on a stick pulling it up to the treestand. I usually don't hunt bucks until after the middle of october, because I go to Camp Ripley. I am mostly a meat hunter. I read all the mags and books. Know about bows. And try to use the best of whatever I need. Last year I spent over $1000 on Scent blocker clothing and shooting time at archery experts. I have one spot that I can hunt from at my uncles place but it's a small lot and he riddles it with holes during rifle season and huge home made stand/houses during the off season. I wasn't sure what you needed to know, so I gave you everything but my waist size. (32) Sounds like an internet dating service or something... Anyway, thanks ahead and good huntin' this season.
