Why is it that some guys think since the hunting season is over that its ok to trespass to pick up sheds? To others out there shed hunting, trespassing is trespassing no matter what time of year it is. There are alot of people who enjoy this hobby. Dont ruin it for others, ask for permission. If my trail cam would have triggered faster I would have this culprit that walked by my feeders. They made it to the road and took off their snowshoes. Had pictures of a forkie that shed his rack 4 hrs before this person walked through. Who knows if his sheds are still there. The sheds aren't even why I'm ranting.

Agreed

Trespassing is trespassing. I agree. Is your land still properly posted?

I find people have been on most all the land I shed hunt. I have only a couple of spots that don't get walked by others. Event private land where I have permission is almost always walked by neighbors who know the owners are to old to get out and notice or are easy going enough to let it slide. I can recall 6 or 7 years back how I could go almost anywhere and not find any tracks of people where I shed hunt. It has really gotton very popular in recent years, especially with QDM all over making big antler finds a lot more likely. I would guess the big deer visible from the roads and QDM signs along property boundries are like a welcome sign!

Coyote hunting from the roads is about the same deal. Some stop and ask me, but I also find snow shoe tracks running through on a regular basis either way. I don't really mind the coyote hunters to much, but I'm sure many others do.

Really ? For sheds ? Maybe, just maybe if you knew where a B&C buck calls home and you knew he made it to January 1.

Ask and go look.

Otherwise do people really have that much time on their hands?

You'd be surprised how many people are unemployed for the winter months.

You need a dog like one of mine Marshal he carried a shed up to the house the other day. It had 5 points was 20" from base to tip, with a 3" circumference. Maybe he'd could get them before the trespassers do?

      Looks like a shallow lake with some potential.  Keepable crappies, decent bluegills and some nice perch according to the last survey (2015). Susan Lake   With a max depth of 10 feet, I’d want to know a little more about it before I’d start drilling holes.  Could be a nice little adventure though.

      Jeff and I fished Saturday and half day Sunday, targeting whitefish, ciscos, crappies, and perch.  The bite was tough for us.  We ecked out a few, but nothing special.  Highlight of the weekend was the sled ride into Wolf Lake and having an eagle swoop in and eat a rock bass we had on the ice.  All in all, not a bad way to waste time.

      Took another trip into the BWCAW last Friday to fish for lakers.  I waited until daylight to drive the snowmobile to the portage so I could safely cross the large pressure ridge in the middle of the lake.  There were 4 other parties already parked at the portage when I got there, plus 2 other parties came later in the day (one even after sunset).  Walking/towing on the lake was quite easy and I found a spot to fish with nobody close by.  Fished for over 10 hours until sunset and didn't catch a fish.  I did have 4 hits on jigs, including one I got up to the bottom of the hole before the snap swivel caught on the bottom of the hole and the fish shook off.  Enjoyed the sunset in the BWCAW before starting the trek out in dusk.  While leaving I saw 3 other people towing sleds just coming onto the lake, I assume to spend the night.  While snowmobiling in the dark back to the landing I got slightly lost but was able to correct my rout and make it out before running out of gas (was on empty).  Was very nice day in the BWCAW, but it is a tough trip when you don't even catch a fish.  May go back to Burntside this week for a much easier trip.

      Anyone have any info on Susan Lake just north of Black Bay on Vermilion?  I'm curious if it's a panfish possibility while we wait for the opener.

      Had a fish fry for my wife and the neighbor lady, so it’s time to get some more fish.

      Hot out today to enjoy the weather and fish. The bite was crazy good. I kept 10 crappies and 8 gills. Gills were 7 3/16 to 8 1/8 inches crappies were from 9.5. 10.5 inches. Shallow water just below the ice. 3 mm pink and white with a white spug.
