Live in central MN about 40 min north of the twin cities. Grown up hunting Whitetails with rifle and recently took a passion with archery. Took my first whitetail last hours of our 2014 season with a spot and stalk with a bow on public land. Excited to gain tips and knowledge about hunting out west. Looking to try a public land DIY archery hunt in the near future for elk. Addicted to the forum! Good luck to everyone out there! Stay safe, shoot straight!
