The last 6 days of deer hunting are upon most of us. Not everyone, I know, but all the states I hunt shut it down December 31st. Anyone else still chasing? Brother and I have a 3 day trip planned to try and knock down some whitetails the 28th-30th. I get excited for late season and the...
I take a lot more pride in shooting a mature doe than a small buck. I would love to shoot a big old swamp buck with a rack like a chandelier, but I also love the whole process of the harvest from start to finish. I even enjoy the dirty work after the kill. If I sat around waiting for a shooter...
Is this an annual muzzleloader trek? I've been toying with just throwing the smoke pole in the truck and heading to Nebraska in the next week or so to give it a try.
It's my understanding you need to draw a buck tag. I am not great at planning years ahead and usually find myself trying to arrange a hunt 7-10 days before I actually plan to hunt. Was looking for late season muzzleloader hunts in some states but that has not been very productive.

How is that sustainable? I had no idea they opened it up like that. Back in the mid 2000's MN decided to sell bonus tags and allow people to shoot up to 5 deer. I knew a lot of people who thought this was the greatest ting ever and made a point to fill all the tags as well as others from family...
I fully understand your anger and frustration after reading this. When I look to a western hunt I foresee an entire day spent glassing and stalking an individual deer. I don't understand how this could be an acceptable way to sell tags and why someone would want to come out just to slaughter...
Thank you for both pieces of advice. The former is good information and the latter should not need to be said. I am better than that and have made my apologies.
I'm sorry, that was unnecessary. I'm just used to helping people out and mentoring anyone who has ever asked me for help. I was hoping to get some tips on an outstate hunt and now feel like shit for doing so. I should not have responded like that.
Thanks! I researched both WY and NE until I couldn't take it anymore and ultimately decided neither fit what I was looking for (ie) OTC, public land available, decent deer population if willing to work. I am from MN and have time on my side. Would like to drive out for a 3-5 day hunt.
