Here in Mn. the deer season for Bow Hunters runs from Sept.17 thru Dec. Rife is the first two weekends in Nov. The first weekend is only for two days while the second weekend is for four days. Muzzleloader is the last two weekends in Nov. Hicountryscoot is a Bow and Arrow hunter and my husband hunts with the rifle always on the second weekend. We live on a small farm but they do alot of hunting right here. Scott saw a Buck 8 yards away from him on Fri. nite and let it go. He is waiting for the big one. I hope he gets it.
