I have a yellow who was not supposed to make it past five because of her hips. She eats any kind of crap, but alot of deer crap and other dog crap. Shes eleven now and doesnt walk to good but she has all heart. So I dont know, it has not hurt her.

Mine likes to roll in it....I don't know if I'd prefer him to eat it, but at least you don't have anything to clean up.

I guess I would say that you should use a check cord or some long piece of rope. I understand that its nice to let them run uninhibited sometimes, I do it too, but if they are not under your control and they are doing undesireable things then you need to decide if you want them to stop. If you do then you need to keep him on some form of a leash to correct him when he does it. I used a 30ft cod and then a 50ft'r, and now if it ever does happen I have the e-collar.

yes.. but to many trees ..long stems and down trees and branches the rope gets so tangled in.. Theres no way to do with in the woods with a rope for me anyways..I wont use a e- collar.... I am not against them, don't get me wrong, i just wont use them on my dogs.. Thats why i was asking besides telling him to, taking him away from the crap, was there another secret out here i didn't know yet lol..

Hes a male dog after all, all a part of being a dog, just wanted to make sure he wont get super sick or anything.. In case i am not super women that day and miss it..

My GWP loved the stuff as a puppy. We went on a walk every AM were deer poop was everywhere and he would chow. An old timer told me that it was bad business because he was likely to turn into a deer chaser. I broke him of it with vocal commands when he was little and reinforced it with the collar when he got older.

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
