Quite a few of us on the north side, but most are old farts like me,

Looks about like the number here abouts Reno.  But we are a solid block of tradition

I sent you an email Mark, check your junk folder. I'm within a maybe 5 miles of you.  The WMA are not good, you need to hit state forest unless you are lucky. If you're between 40-60 years of age it could work out for me, outside that I do not see it happening.
I can help you on local shoots and clubs as well If you are new to the area.
Minnesota is a really hard place to get things going in the traditional world. The older you get, the more time you hunt alone.
I would love to get a group together to do hunts but there is never enough interest or a bunch or accuses why it doesn't work out for some.
I know some spots in Wisconsin as well and love shooting up their woods, much better hunting than here.

I work in EP and am new to trad bows.  Planning to hunt this fall.  I hunt public land and will likely do it again this year.  I think you need to go during week days and not on week ends!  I might be interested in hunting near town and  exploring new metro area options.  will shoot at lunch or after work at the range near the EP airport.

That is a crazy range, think it was like 100k for it, I hated it, too much compound based stuff, weird!
I belong to south 40 archers and they have a range plus 20 reinharts we can shoot through a loop. Fun but buggy. I can take non-members if you guys want to go. Like the first Tuesday of every month is open to all, so if you are afraid to show your poor shooting skills to me you can shoot alone then--ha!
Send me an email, if your not loco, meaning crazy, I can take you along.

rraming, thanks for the offer to shoot South Forty with you, have been looking at that club since I got here and wondered if was a good place. Missed your last trad shoot due to other responsibilities. I think I make your age range cut. Sent you a private message.  
Locohunter, thanks for resonding.  I shoot at the staring lake range as well just because it is so close. I shoot after work between 6 and 7 so maybe will see you out there. I shoot a longbow so you cant miss me.
