Not leaving for Bambi Land until Wednesday. I'll be on the water tomorrow late afternoon and evening with PDOGG and then guiding for a good portion of the day on Sunday.

I heard 2 shots all a.m. east of Northfield, we went 2 check the spot last night, found a scrape so I put out the camera, with a drip-bag and man did that deer get mad that sombody else was in his spot! The scrape is now the size of a car, since 5 last night, and at 10:41 he showed up on my camera, a 9er, they're nocturnal still even w/o the moon mad.gif Any advice? confused.gif

I tried deer hunting the state land in this area. It was just like an Ice Fishing Turnie. As soon as one hunter was out of site another would come into view. Nice and evenly spaced with half of them shooting at every bit of wildlife that showed up. Sorry but that just isn't hunting!

Otter, good one there as most all are out hunting and the lakes are pretty open.

French lake Kid, those bucks will stay fairly nocturnal until the does are very receptive. Then they will make there mistake if one is to be made. All one can do is hunt all day and hope he walks by or gets chased out of his bedding area.

3 days ago I almost hit a deer with my car on my way to work. Yesterday the car in front of me hit a deer. Either the land owners around here should learn how to shoot straight or they should let people who can shoot straight hunt there land!

Yesterday a guy from work was following a car on his way to work that hit a Deer.

I have hit 3 Deer with a car in the last 5 years!

I'm starting to think the people around here don't know how to hunt or shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good thing i may invest in a flack jacket and body armor to hunt public land form now on, good thing i have a friend who talked to his buddy that doesnt let no one hunt his land till this yr he gave me permisson to hunt it by myself no one else is allowed, all others are banned from there after someone put a slug right through the barn wall to hit his prized winning car. when i shoot deer i make dang sure whats behind the target and if i cant make the shot i dont, adrian seen me shoot he was impressed that i hardly waste shots like most people do. all my deer taken been under 20 yrds or less. deer that r more then 50 yrd or better r more likely to miss the deer from long range then short.

I think I may be heading to the Milk River for Thanksgiving. I may even get a tag for a deer.

If the rut is on, it is early this year but the new moon and rut is about right.

      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
