Dan,

How did the Minnesota deer experience go? Always interested in learning more about Minnesota - especially the "Big-Woods" of northern Minn.

Also, tell us about the Alabama hunt. I know their season runs into January in the black-belt region and I have always wanted to give it a try.

Minesota was a bust... I went up near where I bear hunt. There are not a lot of deer. But wolves? plenty of those. Wouldn't mind going back up with gun sometime to do some tracking.

Alabamba... I was invited to the Buckmasters classic event. It was January. It was a televised event. Lots of famous people were there. I hunted with Jeff Foxworthy and Wade Bog's. I shot a small 8 pointer. They put me up at the Southern Sportsman's lodge.

Wisconsin for deer, bear, turkeys, and small game. No other states yet

[Uncle Lou]

Michigan - Deer, bear, turkey, and many small game
Idaho - Elk, (also had a bear and mountain lion tag)
Wyoming - Elk,
Colorado - Elk,
Nebraska - Mule Deer
Illinois - pheasant deer, and dove, living half my life in this state I also hunted a lot of private land for small game.
I have only shot animals in Minnesota on farms.

Seems like I am missing something. I travel so much for work, maybe thats why I thought my list would be bigger than 7 states
