Ok so it should be a rule that you have to show proper gun saftey to post pictures. I can tell who I will not be hunting with.

Well i guess i havent figured out how to incorporate this url stuff and even if i do the site requires a password... I have at least 75 pictures of this seasons fun in ND.. Been here for 3 years for college now and it just keeps getting crazier. Seeing 100's of thousands of birds in one horizon becomes even too much for the best of hunters and really paints a permanent picture into a guys mind..

Buzzsaw: You must have a heck of nice camera and lens to get close-ups like that! What is your setup?

One could have a picture of a nice stringer of walleyes, a nice brace of grouse, a big buck, pheasants, but nothing matches the beauty of waterfowl or waterfowling pics

Here's a couple more that I just got around to processing...

Great pics, looks like you guys had a helluva season. Only problem is you should have waited til the day before the '07 season to put those on here, cuz now I'm reminded how long I have to wait to see a goose or greenhead again! Congrats!

Blonde Pintail...It was pretty crazy...

it came in a flock of about 200 and it stood out plain as day. I was calling the shot so I made sure he was about 10 yards out from MY blind...haha

You're lucky I wasn't there...I would have dumped that bird long before it swung your blind! grin.gif

You gonna be at that SDSU party? Pretty sure we're going.

Thanks for all who entered this year, I'm still getting entry photos here and there.....keep them coming, I know of a bunch who have threatened to enter and still have not.

The last day to submit photos for the contest is Sunday - Feb 18th. All entries after that date via email or posting will not be accepted in competition.

Hopefully a week after the deadline, I will have the entries skinnied down (for those of you who entered multiple photos....I will use one/category). I'll post that... for all to make sure I didn't make too many mistakes, from then it goes to the judges and winners and prizes will be announced.

Thanks,

The Barbarians

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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
