Has been a warm, but fun start to the 24 waterfowl season. Got out for the first two days of the early teal and early goose season. Got my son out both days of the Youth Hunt, and got out both days of opening weekend. Mostly singles and doubles coming in so far, so my son Parker has harvested most of our birds. Not great numbers, but good variety for a very warm September in central MN. We have harvested bluewing teal, greenwing teal, shovelers, mallards, wigeon, pintails, a nice drake ruddy duck, and geese. Water levels are much higher than last year, with one of the lakes we hunt being about two feet deeper than last season. Hopefully some cooler, more seasonable temps will settle in and start bringing the calendar migrators through the state. Good luck, and I will see you out there somewhere.

Get ready. Any bets in a few years the average Joe NFL fans aren't going to be able to watch their local teams, unless it's pay for view! Sounds like their greasing the wheels now. There are 5 international games this year! "The NFL will play a regular season game in Madrid, Spain in 2025, as the NFL prioritizes global growth and expands the International Games to new cities and markets around the world."

With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up. We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

Bats
Brianf. posted a topic in Vermilion-Pelican Lake-Chisholm-Cook-Ely-Eveleth-Hibbing-Orr-Virginia Fishing Reports - Hunting
Hearing reports of bats being seen around Lake V. Haven't seen any since the White Nose Syndrome outbreak a few years back. Are they making a comeback? Is anyone seeing them around the lake? If so, that would be welcome sign IMO due to the number of mosquitoes they consume. -
Is there a website that is always monitoring water levels on Lake Vermilion? Any help would be appreciated. -
Since this site doesn't have a Cooking thread. Here's one. Lump coal, anyone ever tried it on the grill? How's the flavor and does it last longer then the Kingsford?

Lake Vermilion Area Flooding
SkunkedAgain posted a topic in Vermilion-Pelican Lake-Chisholm-Cook-Ely-Eveleth-Hibbing-Orr-Virginia Fishing Reports - Hunting
For those not in the area, the Lake Vermilion area got anywhere from 5-10" of rain the other day (depending on your source). The lake is rising rapidly affecting docks, shorelines, and cabins. The Littlefork River that runs through Cook overran its banks and flooded the town. It's not expected to crest until at least Saturday, which means things will get worse. Places such as the Comet, the Muni, the library, and many other businesses are flooded. Many roads in the area have been destroyed by flooding as well. There's lots of damage. Below are two quick links. https://www.northernnewsnow.com/2024/06/20/floodwaters-inundate-city-cook-evacuation-location-open/ https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/06/20/cleanup-continues-flooding-in-northeast-minnesota-southern-minnesota-rivers-rising -
Just wanted to remind everyone that there are words that are set as flagged on this page that were set up by the owner.

I think it was setup years ago when folks were calling each other names during heated posts, like: D-head D-face D-less Suk my-D Just passing it along incase your post didn't show up.

My wife is having a lot of issues in her garden with bunnies eating everything and asked me to try and find a solution! Any Ideas on a brand or type on a bunny popper you don't have to pump 10 times every shot, probably putting a scope on it. Is CO2 even a thing anymore? When hunting season opens, of course!

Dock Wheel (lost & found)

I found this dock wheel floating in Black Bay. If it's yours or you know whom it belongs to, go and grab it.

Trailer Jack upgrade
SkunkedAgain posted a topic in Vermilion-Pelican Lake-Chisholm-Cook-Ely-Eveleth-Hibbing-Orr-Virginia Fishing Reports - Hunting
Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack: It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion? -
Ice-Out 2024
SkunkedAgain posted a topic in Vermilion-Pelican Lake-Chisholm-Cook-Ely-Eveleth-Hibbing-Orr-Virginia Fishing Reports - Hunting
I hate to start this thread early, but this ice doesn't have much of a chance this season. It's about half as thick as it should be, there is no snow cover to protect it from the March sun, and it continues to be abnormally warm. Let's hear those ice-out predictions. I expect the smaller bays to be open by the last weekend of March with the main lake soon after, likely prior to April 1st. Earliest ice-out on record is March 28th, 2012. On the plus side, the spawn be done long before fishing opener. Combine the reduced walleye harvest with the longer growing season, and this should translate into a better walleye class for the lake. -
Maybe the next time the evil spell casting guy comes bye, we should all throw in a few bucks to cast a spell on all the spammers! Nice job on helping out reporting them all!

Ice-In
SkunkedAgain posted a topic in Vermilion-Pelican Lake-Chisholm-Cook-Ely-Eveleth-Hibbing-Orr-Virginia Fishing Reports - Hunting
I had my first snowmobiling dream of the season last night. Therefore I'm starting the first ice-in thread. We are still a little bit away from seeing shore ice, but it won't be long and I'm already excited to get out there. -
Snow-out
SkunkedAgain posted a topic in Vermilion-Pelican Lake-Chisholm-Cook-Ely-Eveleth-Hibbing-Orr-Virginia Fishing Reports - Hunting
Well the lake is taking it's lumps with this weather. I see ATV/SxS tracks but all of the tracks have frozen slush in them. There is just enough snow for sleds to go around, but mine was running hot last night as I searched for any loose snow. It's getting harder and harder to find. Riding in the woods is questionable. There's enough snow generally, but you are going to be scraping rocks and tree roots. We need the Ghostbusters to cross the streams, reverse the flow, total protonic reversal....to get some cold and snow up here again. It feels like late March up here. -
She's on and off like a bad date!
