Drove a loop from Duluth to Normanna to Greenwood Lake to Finland to Hwy 61 and back home last week. The only evidence of deer I saw was a forkhorn looking for love along 61 at 10 in the morning. Lots of evidence of grouse hunters and a fair number of wolf tracks.

Anybody else planning to hunt deer in or near the Boundary Waters? I know I will be.

Was in Isabella area couple weeks ago only saw moose tracks, no deer sign around that I saw. Not many deer north of Finland ive ever seen. I'm sure there few but a lot of work to scout to find good area.

One set of deer tracks in 5 days. A couple of wolf tracks one day and lots of wolf tracks today.


Moving to a new area.

We had that snowfall in October. The very next morning, I drove 70 miles of forest road on the wheeler grouse hunting and looking for deer tracks off and around Hwy 2 and 15/16.


I saw one set of deer tracks...one set!!! Wolf tracks, moose tracks, grouse tracks, other small animal tracks, but only one set of deer tracks.

Deer are pretty much gone from Finland to the BWCA

Yep - 2023 Harvest Statistics for Zone 131 were 19 deer. That's it - huge zone and 19 deer were shot.
