[@arrowheadangler]

Yeah. We typically just hunt the first week so we do a 9 day season and call it a year (some years we are lucky to get a 4 day season when weather gets bad). Someday, I plan to stay up for the entire 16 days and just relax. Great time to be in the woods!

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

that was a awesome video!! love the big woods deer hunts and camps, and you have a great looking camp. i do have a question and that is how do you get across that lake if she freezes over while your there hunting? those were a couple dandy bucks

[@arrowheadangler]

Yeah, if the lake locks up during season or before we typically don’t get over to the other side. There are no roads or trails over there so we just tuck up behind the cabin. We’ve had quite a few seasons where we haven’t been able to get across the lake. Fortunately we have plenty of land to hunt and can explore even more. A lot of public land in the area to explore that doesn’t get much hunting pressure.

Great video! Very interesting with your use of the boats to get to your camp and hunting. I have a question if you don't mind. I get that your camp is likely private land, is the area your hunting private as well or is it state/public land? As a guy from Florida, where it get's more crowded every day, the remoteness you're hunting is impressive. Gorgeous scenery.

[@arrowheadangler]

Great question! It’s a mixture of private and public. Deer density is very low where we hunt, so we put a lot of time in; often not seeing anything, but when we do, it’s exciting! Sometimes the quiet and enjoying the scenery is all you need.

Very nice video!! I have been bear hunting or just helping out with the baits just south of your lake. We had and always had a ton of wolfs on the trail cameras i am surprised you didn`t film any. Congrats on the deer. You get 2 nice deer in that part of the country you earned them!!

[@arrowheadangler]

We see wolves almost every year. The deer live with the wolves and we’ve had multiple instances where the wolves have gone through and we shoot a deer only hours after they have moved through. All part of the ecosystem up there. Lots of big bear in the area. We have had some large ones on our trail cameras. Because of how remote we are we have never tried bear hunting up there. Would be a lot of work to try and keep the meat from spoiling.

[@robbyoutdoors54501]

@@arrowheadangler I go up hunting and fishing, and, now to work on my cabin. I recently bought a premade cabin and had it put on the property we bought up there at the start of Covid. Deer camp is always a great time-shots fired or not. I’m hoping to make memories at my camp, with “the boys” when I get the inside of the cabin finished

[@arrowheadangler]

That’s awesome! I will be building an additional cabin as well. Not sure what the deer population has been like in Dryden but my guess is similar. If we could get some mild winters I think the population could rebound but with these hard winters they don’t stand a chance. Wolves need to eat and I’m not sure if they’d even make it if the wolves weren’t around. I know they can hunt them in Canada but something tells me the winters are just too hard on the deer. Deep snow doesn’t bode well for them.

[@nikzewers8630]

So I randomly came across this. Before hitting play I thought what would be the odds I know where their going. Then you pulled into Orr. Remember the opener of 2017 with all the snow? I was camping on an island fishing. Kinda cool listening to opening morning shots while I made breakfast! One guy in a boat stopped to check on me in my boat. When he found out I was fishing he laughed and said your crazier than us!

[@arrowheadangler]

That’s funny. I think I have enough video to put something together for that season. We hunted 2 days and left because we had 12+” of snow and the lake froze up. Shortest season for us. That’s the one downside of a remote cabin, the weather dictates so much of what we can do.

Awesome Video!!! We used to camp on Ban Lake just east of Orr! Awesome Deer Camp!!! How are the wolves up there? They have an affect on the deer population where you guys are?

[@arrowheadangler]

Lots of wolves but I’m not sure that their numbers have changed much for the last 40 years. They typically follow the deer population which is heavily dictated by the weather. If we have mild winters there are far more deer but we have certainly had some tough winters over the last decade so deer are few and far between. We are fortunate to have a lot of room to hunt with little pressure but the numbers are down. I guess I have a different take on wolves. They certainly eat a lot of deer and take down some of the bigger bucks but it’s their home and I just borrow it from time to time to hunt. It is all part of the ecosystem up there. We’ve actually shot some of our biggest bucks only moments after a wolf moves through. The deer live with them so they don’t scatter when wolves move in. We have the wolves come through every season and still see plenty of deer.

[@MNMadeAdventures]

@@arrowheadangler That's awesome! I have always had a fascination about the wolves and have always had the same thoughts as you. Just have heard different sides and takes on how they wipe out the deer herd where they are present.

Theres 5total packs territories that converge right on the area by my cabin. Over east theres only 2packs that run it and theyre smaller numbers one at the time was 5 wolves, the other was 7.

[@evanfettig2606]

Awesome camp! What are some of the biggest bucks you've taken over the years?

[@arrowheadangler]

Me personally around 140” 10 pointer that went 227 dressed. We don’t get large racks like farm country deer but definitely get some old deer with large bodies. A good buck in the area is 120-130”. We normally don’t measure the racks. The camp has been around since the 40’s and really only deer hunting since the 60’s but they have shot some absolute giants. Deer were never scored but just taking a guess from the photos they had to have been in the 160-170 range. Being that we are just a traditional deer camp anyone in camp can harvest any deer they would like. We don’t necessarily go for large racks. We usually hold out the first few days and look for a mature 3 1/2 or better animal but come later in the season most guys in camp want some venison so if it moves and is legal it may or may not be in trouble.

Wat deer permit area you hunt? I hunt 173 north of McGregor

[@arrowheadangler]

Yeah deer season was warm for opener. We typically have decent luck when it’s warm though. Yes, lots of wolves in the area. We saw them this year on opening day and the following day but then they moved on. The deer live with the wolves and we frequently see the wolves and deer on the same day. We hunt between 118 and 119 the bucks only areas. The deer numbers have really dropped since the winters of 2013-2014. We are really at the mercy of the weather for deer in the area. Since the habitat is marginal and the predators can get to them on winters with moderate to high snow conditions it’s very difficult for the population to bounce back. That said, we have been seeing an uptick in deer numbers over the last couple of seasons.

Both horizontally and vertically. I’m 38 and slow but I’m able is what I like to say instead of disabled ha. The pleasure is all mine too btw on the service call out.

[@arrowheadangler]

Awesome! I enjoy all the same. I’ll let you know on the deer hunt. We usually go first week in November (that’s around the opener of MN gun season). If you are into a remote adventure there isn’t much that can beat this. If the lake freezes up then it’s really difficult. Every year it is a game time decision on whether we can go in by water or have to take a 15-20 mile wheeler ride.

Nice, have you been having luck the Last few years?

[@larryzika2574]

@@arrowheadangler, I no longer hunt because of my COPD but our crew has intermittent luck. Some years they get nothing. Others they get a few. It’s buck only in their zone.

Love that wilderness deer hunting. No wolves? J Welna

[@arrowheadangler]

Always wolves moving around, they co-exist with the deer here, very common to see wolves and deer in the same sit!

What happened to 2022 rifle hunt. Been waiting

[@arrowheadangler]

Hey Larry, we had a member in camp pass away and it was pretty tough on everyone. I will likely put out a tribute to him later this year. Out of respect for his family and everyone in camp I am not sure that I will have a 2022 deer camp video. Because of this tragedy camp was cut short.

The guy with the side burns when he is looking at you it's very creepy

[@arrowheadangler]

Haha that’s so awesome! I thought the same thing when I put it together. Frank is a deer killing machine though. Guy has a lot of luck when it comes to shooting big deer. I think I have 4 deer seasons captured and he has shot 4 deer in those seasons.

U gotta get a new spot bud u seem like the only one out of the group that never gets one

[@arrowheadangler]

Haha! 🤣 so true. I miss a lot, not the greatest shot. But it’s pretty low deer numbers. Hopefully they come back up

I dont know if ill ever shoot a Buck in the chest again! with my OL' Trusty Remington 760 Game Master .308 i dropped one at about 50 yards with a shot in the chest, he went down in the ditch on the trail side, i waited for a minute popped out my clip topped it off (1 Round) why i dont know...LOL i was all Buck Fevered out..LOL all while i was slowly walking up to him at this point, as im about to pop the clip back in my gun, i raise my head back up to find him, and BAM hes standing rite where he was when i shot him, and before i could even get my safety back off, he bound in through the Christmas tree spruces, where it was so thick i could only hear him crashing through them, when i got over to the spot, there was only hair and not a drop of blood! and i watched him go down hard after i shot him, that buck never stopped running and took me through the thickest s#it, and up and down the biggest hills i could barely crawl up, i followed him for over a mile, and where he took me, it looked like a barn yard of deer tracks, and i lost him there, i never found a drop of blood, i was so mad, he's the only buck to ever get away from me, and my trusty Remington, im 34 now and have used it sense i was 12, but after this, i went rite out and bought a new Remington 7600 .35 Whelen, and i got a small buck with it the next day, and man o man did it do the job, it blew him rite over rite where he stood...Great job and good luck this 2022 season Fellas!

[@arrowheadangler]

Cool hunting story. I don’t recommend brisket shots but have been lucky with a couple. By far the best shot is behind the shoulder if you can get it. Up north you don’t have much time to make the shot. I’ve missed my last handful of deer because I don’t shoot enough and get buck fever. Need to practice more.

[@leadhead7338]

@@arrowheadangler Yeah I hear ya, I’m from VT, so it can be pretty thick, and he’s the only Buck I’ve ever shot in the Brisket, and I will most likely be more patient next time, heck I’ve even had more luck shooting them running through the thick woods, thanks for the reply, and good luck this 2022 season fellas!
