Many of you have interacted with former member BoomerUSAF throughout the years, and a few of us have been fortunate to call him a friend! He recently deactivated his hunttalk account to focus on his health.
Brandon has suffered from stroke like symptoms as a result of a carvonoma on his brain...
Time for my fourth installment of my attempt at a season journal! Previous seasons linked below, and while a lot is the same this year, a lot has also changed.

For starters, I have a new job that is fully remote. This has given me...
Slightly used garmin eTrex 30 in original box with manuals and usb cord. Just don’t use this thing enough (ever) and want to move it to someone who needs it! Excellent shape unit.
Comes with Wyoming and Michigan chips.
Asking $200 for the package.
Selling my gently used pop up 28. Purchased new last year and hunted with it this season in MN. Only ever been used to carry gear, and since we can't quarter deer here I don't really use the pop up functionality. Hoping to move this along to someone who can use it!
Size large, asking $225...
Well, it's official. Just paid for my Minnesota Spring Turkey permit. I'm starting this journal even earlier than last year so that I can capture some of my new adventure into turkey hunting. This will be my third season keeping this journal. I've found it pretty helpful to look back on after...
RH, Excellent shape Mathews Chill R for sale. Well taken care of all its life. Will sell loaded with Schaffer XV rest and Schaffer opposition 4 pin sight. Asking $500 tyd for the package and open to offers. Motivated to sell so I can buy a LH bow!
Only selling as I’m switching to left hand...
Selling my mission venture compound that has been used 1 season. In great shape and would make a great bow for someone looking to get into archery on a budget.
Asking $230 for the bare bow.
I'm trying really hard to simultaneously talk myself into and out of a new bow. I'm not dropping a grand on one and would be more in the budget side of things. My current bow (PSE XForce Axe 6) is about 10 years old. Shootability is number 1 on my list, followed by smoothness and probably speed...
Last year was the first time I tried keeping a season journal of sorts and I really enjoyed it! I’m back for what will be another fun season.
Here is my thread from last year:

I’m getting started a little earlier this year in...
Randy,
Listening to this podcast while driving for Christmas. Great discussion, just one question. Multiple times it was mentioned that the bills restricting private landowner property rights are brought by people who “hate conservation easements”. Why do they hate these? I’m guessing it’s...
Hello HuntTalk! I've enjoyed reading along with others live hunt threads and am inspired to create my own. If nothing else, this will serve as something of a journal for my own recollection of the season.
Minnesota is home to more than 12 million acres of public land spread across the state...
Got a “pending second draw” status currently and can’t find any info on their system. Assuming it’s unsuccessful since there’s only a 0.2% chance of drawing. If anybody knows the ins and outs I’d be curious!
In MN we can’t leave blinds up overnight on certain public. What tactics have others used for “set and hunt” using pop up blinds? Assume brushing in will be the key, but curious what others think.
A local club* here in the south metro is hosting a 3D shoot July 7-8. Anybody interested in getting a HT group together?
*full disclosure - I am not currently a member, but have been in the past. Stopped after I moved to a place where I could shoot in my backyard...
This is more of a PSA than anything but is fresh on my mind as I am dealing with this now. I wanted to post my experience so that other dog owners can be aware of GDV and the chaos surrounding the condition.
On Tuesday evening noticed something was wrong with my Irish Setter; she was dry...
Spring has sprung and after moving I finally had a chance to get my archery gear out yesterday. Felt great to put a few arrows on target right in my own backyard. Living in a condo next to a school I wasn't able to do that previously. Might have to go pick up that archery turkey license after...
Sounds like the park is as close as ever to reintroducing wolves. Interesting read if you've been following this story at all.

Like many of you I do the bulk of my hunting on public parcels and enjoy the challenge of it. However, I am not above requesting permission to access private. Being it is the middle (end?) of winter, this is on my mind now well in advance of the upcoming seasons. I use a combination of...
I've been doing a bit of research to try to figure out what I want to do this coming fall and I have landed on our neighbor to the west, South Dakota. My thinking here is that a) its within decent driving distance so a summer scouting trip could be in play and b) the archery tags are basically...
