2025 Central Minnesota Deer Forecast
The mild winter of 2024 and ample spring/summer rains meant lots of fawns and big jumps for local bucks. Local taxidermists took in some of the biggest bucks on record. If your season was nothing to brag about, ask yourself these 3 questions:
1 – Do you know where the deer on your cameras are bedding?
2 – Do you know where the local destination (nighttime) feed is located, and how it changes from month to month?
3 – Do you have a plan rooted in this knowledge?
If you don’t answer yes to all 3 of these questions, your 2025 season goals should include changing those ‘no’ replies to ‘yes’.
When you have a solid idea of where they bed and feed, it becomes much easier to understand why the sign on the ground is there, and how to best hunt it. Knowing where they bed and feed lets us hunt these deer without spooking them. It’s a simple formula for success.
