Carlos Avery?

I have been hunting Carlos Avery in MN lately and was wondering if anyone has shot a nice buck out there? If so could you give me some pointers on what to look for this is my first year hunting there after moving only blocks from it in Wyoming mn

Here is a pointer… Stay away from Carlos Avery. Let’s just say it has been “over run”. Then again, if you don’t mind the buzz of Ruger 10/22 lead whizzing by you as a shot is taken at every rodent, snake and songbird…. Have at it!

I would agree with staying away! When I worked for the city of St. Francis I asked about hunting land in the area and everyone told me to stay out Of Carlos Avery unless I was prepared for the worst plus I do not think anything dares to walk through there anymore!

Listen to these guys.

You might not want to sit in a tree stand in that dump. Unless you want to wear my bullet resistant vest. Or I could offer you a flak jacket to wear. Then you could arm yourself with a AK, MP-5, and a couple sticky bombs.

I suppose you could hunt man like the rest of em???

The chioce is yours…………

I whole-heartedly disagree with staying away! I also hunt a public area that is heavily populated with “small game” hunters. Public land is for all of us to use and enjoy and I, for one, will not be run off or seek to hunt elsewhere because these people are coming in large numbers and shooting away with .22’s! Instead, what I do is get as much useful info, such as license plate numbers and times/locations of unsafe and illegal acts and call it in on my cell on the spot! I don’t give up there, I demand a follow-up call from the conservation officer informing me on what was done, if anything. If they don’t call me, I call them! It’s my job to report this kind of stuff and their job to follow-up and do something about it….and I can tell you the CO in that area WILL do something about it.

I just feel that if we all decide to go “somewhere else” and roll-over to these people, pretty soon we have no-where to hunt….and it empowers these so-called hunters to keep up with their behavior and expand their range to other public areas because they know that we’ll just leave and let them have the place to themselves….DON”T GIVE UP on Carlos Avery! There are some beautiful bucks in there, just become smarter and more cunning at getting off the beaten path (islands in the cattails, for instance) and you will have good hunting. If you see or hear crap that shouldn’t be going on, become an activist and do something about it….call TIP or whatever, but don’t just willingly hand over your public property to one group of individuals!

Good Luck!

I agree, but still be careful!! About three years ago, we shot a really nice 8 or 10 pointer out of there. REally nice basket!!! There are a lot of inexperienced hunters out there and the DNR know that. There are a lot of asian hunters in there and the DNR does have CO that are also Asian and do patrol the area often. As for the bucks, you have to get there earlier than the rest of the hunters and wear a flack jacket!! Good Luck!!

Well the places that I have been focusing on I really havn’t seen to many .22 hunters. A few other bowhunters. I am not hunting the main part east of blaine etc… I have mostly been hunting the east side of 35 by Wyoming and Stacy. Last night I did see a couple Asians driving out but I was alone. I am working on finding those hidden spots where people tend to stay away from. It isn’t my primary hunting spot either just something I add in for more chances. Was wondering if there were really some nice bucks in there.

Amen Slipsinker! I feel all hunters should be more aware and take an hunters activist type of attitude with them into our public lands. We are the only ones who will protect our rights and preserve our WMA’s!
