Monday, October 21 was the day youth muzzleloader season started because youth hunters get an extra week to hunt. Muzzleloader is a type of gun that is manually loaded from the dangerous end of the gun. Youth hunting is people under the age of 18. I was going to go out to my hunting spot during the end of the week but unfortunately my dad got into a car accident on Tuesday, October 22 and had to get stitches on his forehead so that prevented us from going out. Hunting so early in the season though is not very good because none of the big bucks are moving. They usually stay bedded in a bushy area to get rest for the rut. The rut is when the big bucks really start moving because they are always following a hot doe around, a hot doe is a doe that is ready to breed. The rut usually starts in the beginning to the middle of November. So unless you get a really cold day where the bucks have to get up and move to stay warm then your not gonna see any good deer.

Hello, My name is Miranda. For my Passion Project I am going to attempt to shot a whitetail buck during this coming 2013 hunting season. Youth hunting starts on October 21, 2013, my dad and I are going to try a hunting spot that is a morning and afternoon spot. But also change to a evening hunting spot for after. We recently put up a trail camera, which is a camera you can hang on a tree along a deer trail and takes picture every 5 seconds if there is movement, at my hunting spot which is Northeast of Winnipeg about 45 minutes away. We got it back and discovered only small does and there fawns hanging around but did come across a small 3 by 3 buck who was probably 1 and a half years old, 3 by 3 means the deer has his browtines and 2 small tines coming off the main beam. We plan to head out this coming week, I will attempt to take a video of the hunts and show you the process but I may just take pictures.
