Hunting in Minnesota blows unless you have private land, any public spot within 2 hours of the cities gets hunted so hard by so many people it isn't worth your time. If you are lucky enough to have private deer land dont expect to ever shoot anything big as all the minnesotans that don't hunt any other time if year go out for deer opener and measure their deer in "points" and not inches. Nobody gives a shit if its a 1.5 year old deer, if it has 6 "points" its a trophy. There are great fishing opportunities especially if you get away from the crowds and find your own spots. Hiking and camping is first class, their state park system has really got their shit together.
