that would be an interesting hunt. Don't think I've ever seen a single buck on the canoe trips and few motorized trips I've taken into the BWCA. I like my MN deer corn and bean fed though so I stick to what I know in western MN.

I saw a huge buck track near Isabella Lake on an unsuccessful bear hunt a few years back. The eastern BWCAW is almost empty of deer, but the western part has some potential.
