Do you need special broadheads for Turkeys or can you use the same as for deer?

Same

Well so far I had 2 jakes come behind the blind and to the side no shot for the crossbow but tomorrow the nephew can blast them with the shotgun. Surprised at the number of ducks. Also the pheasants are a round now that hide from Finn and I all fall.

Well everyone I took a jake. A group of 5 came in as was watching some other turkeys in the beans. The jakes decided they could beat up my decoy so I said enough.

Grats Moose! I'd imagine jakes taste better anyway. Now you can get back to chasing fish!

After my nephew gets one

My buddy and I doubled on toms this morning. Both about 23 lbs and had 9inch beards. My first tom and first turkey taken with a bow. Had 6 toms come strutting into our decoys. Made the shot at 5yds!

My nephew was so excited he could not hold tight on a tom so he did not shoot. I am one proud uncle!

Was hunting on some public out west. Had some jakes come in the dekes. The one with the most noticeable beard walked past the blind at like 10 yards and I just choked thinking he'd stop and let me draw. The rest caught up to him, examined the dekes and then tried to figure out the blind. The jig was up. Dangit. Until next time. Should I have drawn my bow as that first one was walking through my shooting lane? I was kinda worried that it'd catch me, but I was in the blind..

Farmer had been spotting them in years past but we have not seen or heard any in our 6 trips (morning and evening).  Pulled the blind will have to target a new area.

We got a tom circling us but he has not come close enough yet. He is not making a noise but a weird cluck

A hen came in walked to the blind and went to drag the tom with her.

      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
