Minnesota Deer Camp - 2023! 

Same! Looking forward to another visit in a few weeks.

Thanks for the visit!

Hey thanks! It was a welcomed surprise.

Thanks! Yes, so far it’s been a good winter. We’ll see what January and February have in store.

Nothing beats Deer Camp in November! Even when there are few deer.

Thanks! We’ve always loved the UP. Spent 5 years at Michigan State and traveled through and visited that country regularly. Looks very familiar. Just subscribed to your channel as well.

@@patchinfamily thanks a lot really appreciate that!!

Always! 😂

Spent a lot of time on the golf course with him

You know it!

We use both!

Hey thanks! That’s the only buck I got mounted. I’ve got about a dozen 6-9 point racks laying around. All from that same tree.

They’re in our yard at home too! I drive 5 hours one way to see fewer deer!

I was wondering myself if they really existed! 😂

@@patchinfamily it’s been kind of mind boggling to me to see the north put the blame on wolves on dwindling numbers when disease and years of past harsh winters are more prevalent than wolves. Yes there are more wolves but they aren’t the main reason. Black bear populations have exploded in Wisconsin and they are moving to MN. People never bring up that their favorite food are fawns. People never bring up Canadian deer hunters and the fact that there are more wolves there than here. Wildlife gonna wildlife and there’s nothing we can do about it.

@@EugeneYus Yeah it is definitely a combination of factors. We've always had wolves and bears in our woods. They have been prominent on our trail cameras ever since we starting hunting there. The winters have been the worst culprit in my opinion, though the DNR tried to manage our area for moose several years ago and deer and moose don't generally get along so the DNR worked to reduce the deer herd and gave out too many doe permits. That worked to reduce the deer herd, but the moose never really moved in. So I think we are still recovering from all of the above. This winter has been pretty mild (so far), so hopefully we will get some good reproduction in the spring.

No baiting in Minnesota. Thanks for watching!

Never fails!

Thanks - you got that right!
