With the end of gun deer hunting, archers can once more take to the field in camouflage clothing. There are good numbers of deer left in all units for those archers trying to fill unfilled bonus or hunter's choice permits, or their regular archery tags. Most of the corn has been harvested, but any unpicked fields remaining are great places to hunt. Wildlife Management Areas traditionally receive heavy gun hunting pressure and private land is often a better bet for filling late season archery tags. Some great small game hunting opportunities still remain.
Squirrels are still active all hours of the day because of excellent foraging conditions.
There are also plenty of rabbits and hunting should pick up once snow falls. Ruffed grouse are now in the thick stands of young aspen, as well as upland and lowland tag alder cover. Pheasants have had reasonable production and good survival the last two years. Late season snows should show hunters where they can still be found. Many lakes in the Price County area are just beginning to get their winter covering of ice.
