Bear Hounds in Mn

Recommended Posts

Read the law Neiko. It says, unless you are a conservation or peace officer it is unlawful to shoot a dog pursuing big game from July 15 until January 1. If you do, you will be held liable for damages.

Nolte you obviously don't know me. I am the last person to worry about life.

I know the laws quite well and abide by them. It is a system and you have to know how to play the game by the rules. That is what makes it fun.

"347.03. Dogs may be killed

Any owner or caretaker may kill any dog found chasing, injuring, or worrying sheep or other livestock or poultry owned by or in care of such owner or caretaker, on lands or premises owned or controlled by the owner or caretaker, and any owner or caretaker of sheep may kill any dog found on the owner's or caretaker's premises where sheep are kept, not under human restraint or control."

Anyone have any sheep for sale? I only need 1. wink.gif

Someone started citing laws so I merely was playing there game showing there are legal ways to take care of the problem. All I am saying is it isn't going to be pretty if I am hunting my property and I get a pack of dogs on my property ruining my hunt. Will I take care of them probably not but I would hate to be the owner.

I am glad someone got a laugh out of it. Cheeseheads have no sense of humor.

The way you came off originally, it sounded like you fanatically worried about your property. I've had no less than a dozen people tell me they were going to shoot my dogs, and this was when I was within my rights of hunting. One such landowner had 5 acres surrounded by thousands of county land, but we were chasing all his deer away so he was livid(in February no less). Those kinds of statements really rub me the wrong way.

Let me know when you get your sheep, I'll find a pair of velcro gloves and send em to you. That should make those cold MN nights a little more tolerable. grin.gif

Do you hounds hunters put blaze orange collar on your dogs? Something to distinguish them from wild dogs.

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. 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. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   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...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
