Anyone going hunting?


Recommended Posts

Where are you headed? What have you seen?

I am heading the my brother-in-laws farm north of Perham. We seem to find deer there every year.

Next week and next weekend I am going to hunt some private land near Ulen. The area west of Ulen has had some nice deer there earlier this season -- I hope they stay close by.

Who else is going out?

I'm with you Brother. I'll be east of Frazee this weekend, up by Evergreen. Maybe I'll see you at the Wolf Lake Muni on Saturday night grin.gif

Not sure what time we'll be there, but I'll be looking for you. Last year when we were there, there wasn't too many cows. They had a band and I guess that pulls another class out of the woodwork.

I'll be hunting between Barnesville and Pelican Rapids. My last year there. The farmer sold it to the DRN recently and it will be public next year. It's next to Whiskey Lake, and no it doesn't taste like whiskey at all.

and hitman, stay out of trouble

Trouble just seems to follow a guy who's name is Hitman grin.gif

Seriously though, DH is right...be careful out there. Be sure of your target and anybody who may be beyond that target before you pull the trigger. I'm going to be one of those other guys out there and I don't like hearing lead wizzing over my head.

I shot a buck with my bow on friday,and a doe on saturday morning with riffle at a whole 15 yds. That really put the 25-06 to the test. grin.gif. I haven't fished for a while but while you were getting married i caught a few. wink.gif

How about you?

Paul --

Not sure what I would do with that. I know I would not mount it -- wink.gif

I think I would give it a beer.

Eye --

trouble does follow the Hitman.

I went to bed early on Sat. Night -- 9 p.m. I was out like a light. I stayed up and discussed the finer points of hunting and got 3.5 hours of sleep the night before. I was a tired puppy.

My Bro-in-law went to bed at 11 p.m. He said he heard something and thought I was dinging around and going out to my truck.

When I got up at 5 am I went to the bathroom and noticed that somebody left a deposit and did not flush or wipe. I thought that was odd. Then I went into the living room and the front door was open.

Strange.

Talked to my Bro-in-law and he said he heard the door open and thought it was me. My guess -- a drunk guy or one of those crazy dudes that work at the 24-hr dairy farm up the road. They milk like 2500 head -- they get some crazy dudes in there for the night shift.

So -- That is how people get killed -- they walk into people's homes after dark and use there facilities without announcing themselves.

Strange ...

Wasn't you was it Eye hunter?

No, it wasn't me. I was all the way over on Toad Lake, that's just too far for me to go to take a dump, even if it was for a good joke. I too was in bed by 9:30 on Saturday night, never made it to Wolf Lake all weekend. Boy we must be getting to be old men.... tongue.gif You know you're getting old when you would rather sleep than go out and party, and when you get up in the middle of the night, take a ____ and not remember it in the morning. grin.gif

Went out this morning. Found that someone has been using my deer stand. They left a 5 gal pail up there. Kind of ticks me off. I don't get that many chances to go out, we've lost most of our hunting land due to the owner selling off chunks and a guy started bowhunting above my stand up to the opener. This little woodlot only holds a couple of deer and I usually need someone to kick some deer around. Everytime I turn around there's something new and stupid going on. Did miss a buck on Sunday, probably my only chance this year.

I know that I'm just easily irratable because I painted the house and only fished one day since Labor Day. Then I go hunting and feel like there's nothing left for me to do. I should just pound down a few beers and get over it but I just don't like beer!

Oh, and Hitman, maybe a bear doesn't &#$& in the woods?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!  
    • jim curlee
      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
