I hunted up in Floodwood, about 30min west of Cloquet. Got two on Saturday so packed up and headed back home that afternoon. What a beautiful day for an opener!! I wish I could relive that every year!
No luck here, passed on a doe opening morning then didnt see anything after that. But we are hunting close to each other, im hunting in the Alborn area which is'nt very far from Floodwood.
That's too bad you didn't see more, they were all over where we were. I shot at two bucks running early and missed...yeah, yeah...I'm out of practice. My dad and I dropped two young bucks within yards of each other, and within minutes. He shot his, we walked to camp (about 50 yards away!) and got the ATV, I walked back out of the woods ahead of him, and there was another, so I shot it. We were done in 10 min of each other. We drove to Floodwood for lunch, came back, and there was another small buck and a doe in the same field. My Dad got out his gun, but just turned around and smiled at me and walked back and put his gun away. We had a bonus tag to fill, but he decided it was too easy and we already had enough meat. It was great. We were on the road by 3pm Saturday back home. I wish it went longer for the sake of hunting longer, but it was nice to finish early for once. Good luck to you, there is still time.
We saw a TON of deer in the fields in the evenings. I would stake out a good hay or clover field and wait for them to come out.
i went up past milaca 3-4 times last week, sat in the tree n didnt see anything. i took a couple pops at a few small ones, that was it. i saw a really nice buck with a huge rack on my way to work in little canada just mosying through a large parking lot real slow, i was thinking real hard about whether or not the local sheriff would hear me fire a few slugs or a few pops of the 30/30....always could have pushed it over with the truck, i followed it for about a minute, but the one i saw i had to let get away.
