Thinking about heading out this weekend to look for some sheds,. has anyone been out yet and has anyone had any luck. just figured that now would be a good time, most of the snow should be gone and i need to get out in the woods before turkey season starts.

Had the boys out wandering the woods once. Mostly just checking the trail cam. Didn't find any bone smirk On the 22 of Feb. the bucks still were sporting antlers. Gonna take the boys out again today and check though. Love the warm weather!

went out today. I ended up helping a buddy take down some stands, searched his area for sheds for a couple of hours only found some feathers from a rooster and half of a whitetail deer ear.

Took the boys out and ended up finding.....nothing. 540 pics on the trail cam. No big bucks, just spikes. Looks like they dropped them around the 5-6th. What a day to spend walking the woods. My uncles dog ran over the neighbors hill full bore and then I saw some turkeys take flight. Nice to see since I hadn't seen any around all bow season.

I spent a few hours walking this morning. Beautiful day to be in the woods! I found lots of trails and droppings, but no sheds.

      I've never tried it either but I would given a chance myself too.  I've heard the term "ribeye of the sky" but I'm very skeptical of that.

      Yup widgeon banded in north dakota this spring as an adult. Likely on the migration north

      @Kettle that band - did you get the info on it yet?  Was it a Wigeon?

      I will when I get home and grill them. Yea, they fold up pretty easy, not hearty birds!
    • Kettle
      Pass shoot them between roost and fields, typically farthest shot 40 yards. They don't fly high.

      can you share some pics of the ribeye of the sky after its prepared?   I really want to try the meat some time and hunt them as well. Is the term falling lawn chair still accurate when you bring one down? lol
    • smurfy

    • leech~~
      How do yea hunt um?  Do they come into deks with other stuff, or you sky burst um as they fly over?

      On the South Shore...  Now is prime time to head up to Lake of the Woods (LOW) and the Rainy River as fall fishing is in full swing!  With plenty of limits of walleyes and saugers being caught, and a favorable weather forecast, anglers are enjoying some excellent fishing. Dress for Comfort: With cooler mornings, dressing in layers is essential. Ice fishing gear is ideal for early mornings, and you can shed layers as the day warms. A warm hat and gloves or mittens are also handy. The best bite on the south end of LOW has been in 22-28 feet of water. Water temperatures are dropping and as the temps cool further, the bite has been excellent.    Vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners remains highly effective. Bring plenty of bait, as you’ll need to sort through some smaller fish, but you’re likely to land keepers as well as larger walleyes. Anglers have also reported good numbers of jumbo perch and occasional pike mixed in with the walleyes. Good Jig Colors: This week’s hot colors have been gold, gold/glow white, gold/chartreuse, gold/orange, and gold/pink. On the Rainy River...  Shiners and walleyes continue to move into the Rainy River, making it an ideal spot for targeting large walleyes. Anglers are experiencing success up and down the river, especially in areas throughout Four Mile Bay.  Walleyes are being caught in various depths, but 15-25 feet of water has been good. Jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners has been highly effective. Some anglers are also trolling crankbaits to cover more ground and find fish. Both methods are producing solid results. Sturgeon Fishing: With cooler days and shorter daylight hours, sturgeon activity has picked up. Catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open, providing anglers with an exciting opportunity to hook into these prehistoric giants. Up at the NW Angle...  Fall fishing is firing on all cylinders up at the Angle, where walleyes continue to be concentrated around traditional areas with structure. Points, neck-down areas with current, shoreline breaks, and transition zones from rock to mud are all productive locations for walleye right now. In addition to walleyes, anglers are catching pike, jumbo perch, and crappies. Using a jig and minnow is a tried-and-true approach and continues to yield excellent results. Muskie fishing is also hot this time of year, with anglers casting and trolling to find these predators. Big muskies over 50 inches are being caught and released. For those looking to enjoy some fall fishing at its finest, now is the time to head to Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River. With cooling water temps, great weather on the horizon, and prime fishing conditions, it’s a fantastic opportunity to jig up some walleyes and saugers for a fish fry. So, bundle up, gather your gear, and come experience the unforgettable fishing that awaits you up north!
