Minnesota Deer Unit 118

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Minnesota Game Management Unit 118.

Minnesota Permit Area 118 is deep Arrowhead country, a maze of Canadian Shield bedrock, boreal timber, and bog drainages where deer pattern around cover and crossable ground rather than open feed. Elevations run from roughly 600 feet along Lake Superior drainages to 1,800 to 2,000 feet on the Sawtooth and Misquah-style highland ridges, and browse from young aspen, hazel, and red osier dogwood drives the herd far more than mast this far north. Our pack covers Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, and a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
