Hey Stick? I took your advice and got a 466. Do you get a lot of these pics in B&W when it still appears to be light out? The pics below are at 6 pm... Is there anyway to change that? Other than that I like the shutter speed and the fact that NOTHING spooks from them hardly!

Nice pics! Under a heavy canopy, sometimes it'll be b/w during low-light periods of the day. 6pm seems really early though - maybe a front rolled through? Not sure. Make sure to utilize that HD video w/ audio!

Not looking to great this year. Not just the lack of bigger bucks, but Ive only seen 4 different fawns on cameras over 2 of the most established licks were we hunt. Lots of other pics show bucks well developed, I feel mine are behind some how

Nice pics guys. That Reconyx spot should be gold come late October being on that doe/fawn super-highway!

Here are a few. The middle one is the big brow tine buck I'm hoping from last year. He had some big brows and good girth as a 2.5 yr old last year!

Looks like a good one. I like the creek cam setup. With the drought we've been having, I've been wanting to move a cam to a similar location. Water is at a premium right now!

Actually we moved the cameras to the creek due to the lack of rain some of the plots didn't come in this year as well. It's amazing how many mid day pics we have got that leads me to believe that they are bedding by the creek this year. There is a group of 4-5 bucks that seem to frequent the crrek mid day.

Lots of great pics guys! That bear is a fatty lungdeflator and those buck do look like they have some catchin up to do. They got time!

Muskieman, that middle buck appears to have some nice mass at the H3s and some good brows, I bet hell turn into something. I think those deer like the creekbottoms for the water but I think its like an air conditioner with the heat weve had lately. Stay low and stay wet!

Keep them commin everyone, Fun to look at!

Messes in the woods are a good thing! The more cover the better as far as I'm concerned.

From a friends trail cam by his deer stand near Viking Mn...He also had Bear, Bobcat, Wolves and coyotes!

That's a Bobcat right there, right? Or is it a Lynx? The tufty, long hair on the back of his legs kinda looks like a long tail hanging down behind his left rear leg!?! Was thinking of a much larger cat there!

Had me there for a sec! Started thinking, "Hey, I better call my friends in Viking with little kids!" shocked

Sorry but id bet the farm on cougar, Cr ap I said the C word. Looks like the tail os swing on left side of the left leg making it hard to really tell for sure but the tail is certainly very long like that of cougar. but im not a cougarologist either.

      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

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
