My dad and I did our remote wilderness hunt again this year opening weekend. I didn't see a buck worth shooting, but my dad got a pretty nice 10 pointer Sunday at 10:00 a.m. What a beautiful day. Dead calm and the woods was literally alive with activity all day. Public land and we have about 2 square miles all to ourselves. Didn't see a speck of orange all weekend. It doesn't get any better than that. Headed back up this weekend and hopefully Lady Luck will be on my side this time!

I'm working on a stone chimney across from the main entrance to UMD this big boy was guarding a doe fro an 8 pointer and a fork horn, I started getting a little to close for comfort, he put his head down and took a few steps toward me....I quikly retreated and went back to work.

I was hunting this guy, but unfortunatly the neighbor got him opening day. I didn't get any after pics because he already had it hanging, but he was a giant bodied deer. The rack isn't bad either...G2's wee both over 11"! I am jealous and bummed, but relieved to know I won't be hunting a ghost next weekend. full-20564-3056-mdgc0022.jpg

Congrats to everyone. There are some great pics on here.

I was fortunate enough on opening day, to harvest my biggest deer to date, a 6x7 that scores 155 3/8.

bmp78. Did that horse come from Wells County by any chance? I shot one almost identical to that deer out there 3 years ago. Nearly the same antler symmetry, and score!

It's a sleeper state! Really beautiful deer everyone. Nice to see the kids in pics as well!

Not sure about the score, Surewood. But he sure is a dandy old buck! Love the junk he's carrying. And no, not that "junk". blush Nice character in that rack, and the dark brown cap!

Lots of really good bucks showing up. Leave me one for muzzy season, huh?

This deer came out of the 3E2 area. We have not seen one like this before on the farm given the spread and tine length. The spread on the deer was 22 1/2 inches and had one tine on the left beam broken off (about 11 inches long). How has your hunt been going this year?

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!
    • Kettle
      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      i like this site!!!!!  👍 thanks rundave......its in my favorites!!!!!!

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  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"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.

      Charcoal Briquettes are great for low and slow cooking as they produce long-lasting heat. Lump Charcoal burns hotter and adds more flavour to your food; therefore is great for hot and fast cooking.
