As long as you cook them properly, you should kill any pathogens or bacteria. Treat it like chicken; do not undercook it. I am not willing to risk that so I clean mine after I'm done, vacuum seal them, and then put them in the freezer. It's more about what your personal level of risk is here...

My dog turns 14 in February. I still intend to hunt her this season. She is in pretty good shape for a 13.5 year old yellow lab. I go slower, give her multiple days of rest in between hunts, and nothing over 50 degrees.

I made an attempt to pick mine up when I was waterfowl hunting in a stationary location. It was pretty easy to just grab them while they were floating on the surface of the water. Same when I'm deer and turkey hunting, although I don't go through much ammo targeting them. It's hard to do it...

Tons of it where I hunt. In fact there's still some beans too.

No bells for this guy. All it does is tip off every bird in the county that you're coming. Silence is deadly. FYI I hunt with a lab/flusher but I keep her within shotgun range.

My Grandfather had to hang it up due to his inability to walk over uneven terrain a few years before he died. We tried to persuade him to post and he wasn't having it. He was still able to deer hunt a couple years from a ground blind after he stopped bird hunting.

I can relate to this. Seems to be a common theme among the hunting realm.

That's actually not far from the truth where I hunt. A number of them leave their fields up all winter. Don't ask me why

I agree, the best way to find good habitat and populations of birds is doing it with your own truck, eyes, and legs. But all that takes time and energy, something very few have the will power for these days.

Nothing to see north of 94. Keep heading south. 😬

You've already got a MN license and have harvested birds; why bother with an overpriced nonresident license to drive hours and fight more crowds of hunters? I'd keep striking that MN iron while it was hot.

It actually starts in mid September lol But I digress...

Youth hunts cater to one demographic. Adults cannot participate. They supervise, but they cannot participate. And yet, during the regular season, youth can participate. It's not a 2 way street. I'm against every early special season. It has nothing to do with being a youth hunter actually...

I quit waterfowl hunting about 5 years ago. I had done it for about 20 years. It wasn't because I wanted to focus on another type of hunting though. It was because there weren't enough ducks to hunt. Purchasing waterfowl stamps, getting up at 4am, slogging through a marsh, fighting for a...

Based on the point of this thread, I'd like to point out how stupid it is there's so many special seasons to hunt deer here. As a deer hunter myself, I understand the point. It's about hunter recruitment and revenue, and deer hunting is king. But these early special youth and antlerless...

No, you're better off not. You can't argue with stupidity.

Yep, free parking usually only happens once. Learn from the mistake.

LOL good one

I have a friend who was verbally warned several years ago about this during the youth/early antlerless season. They were rocking their normal orange hat and upland vest. The upland vest had orange shoulder patches and an orange back pouch. Wasn't good enough. You need full blaze orange above...
