We were sitting in the camper discussing hunting plans for the next morning, the evening of November 3, when I mentioned to my dad, Gary Morken, and buddy Sam Schmid that adult deer activity was just picking up.
I had that feeling based on the past few days. Over the years, I have often left Minnesota to bowhunt in North Dakota during the first week of November. The deer herd in this area has a more balanced age and sex structure than what I am used to in Minnesota. A good mix of females and adolescent and mature males means competition for breeding, which means larger males on their feet more often in the daylight.
