...you hold off on shooting a spike cause you want to shoot something bigger and 5 minutes later it comes running full sprint under your stand being chased by a monster. then a few minutes later the monster walks out in the field right in front of you but you have so much buck fever you don't put the bead on the deer and shoot only to see mud fly and the deer run off!!! Oh and that was the only mature buck I have ever seen on stand!!!!

...go out for the afternoon hunt and hear this scraping noise...your heart starts to beat faster as you are trying to figure out what it is and then you see the landowner decides to "rake his gravel driveway" for the last 2 hours of daylight!!! LOL...RIP Ken

It's been windy all day, and then the last hour of light everything dies down and it's dead quiet and peaceful out but.....then the neighbor decides he is going to cut wood with a chain saw that last hour of light.

When you go to spray some of your buck bomb off because you have a buck circling down wind and you end up spraying it right in your face. That stuff doesn't taste very good.

.............when you finish climbing up and your head is cold because you took your hat off earlier. You check your pockets, your bag, and even look to see if your sitting on your hat...

.......but oh,........there it is at the bottom of the tree....... ggguuurrrrr!!!!!

When you have been sitting in a stand, but get a feeling that another stand would be better so go to that one.... the next day you check you trail cam and a monster you've never seen shows up on you camera right next to the stand you've been on.

...you walk all the way to your stand, only to realize that you left your safety harness in the truck.

Or,

...you're in your stand and deer are starting to show up, only to be spooked when they hear & see the neighbor walk around his entire property looking for a good hunting spot for the gun opener...which is only 2 days away! mad

You finally get an arrow in a deer when you hear that sickening crack and you know you're arrow is broken.

Get 20 feet up in your climbing stand, go to knock your arrow, it slips and you watch it fall all the way to the ground?

Deer season is barely a week away and you haven't had one free minute to check your stands or scout that new property? frown

The wind's from the SE? Who has a stand for that this late in the year?

I have several E and SE setups. wink

Of course I hunt 100% mobile so about half of my setups can be hunt for a variety of winds but I do have some special spots for odd early season winds.

It starts lightning and thundering off in the distance just when you get in your treestand!

...and you have $500 worth of Gortex in the truck, and none in your pack.

Your sitting in stand and a nice buck walks in, you get ready to draw back, then realize you havent nocked an arrow yet, then slowly doing so, the buck walks out of your shooting lane, never to be seen again.

      Hey government,  Just give us choices. I don’t care what people use as long as as it works for you. I’m needing a new weed eater. Plan on a Stihl FS 40 easy start. I’m done with the cheaper brands. Just don’t last long enough.  Probably true with the Stormy Daniels of the world as well. Cheaper don’t last long enough 🤭

      If you turn on a movie they survive the 20min ride just fine. After many controlled experiments, I've found that they survive much better if you show "Finding Nemo" instead of "Jaws."

      Quick update: Lucky 7 now has rainbows, fatheads, crappie and light pike in stock. If I remember correctly, scoop of rainbows was $8.99.  Stopped at L&M in Virginia. Rainbows $6.99, fatheads and crappie minnows (scoop) $3.99. I was billed $6.99 dozen for rainbows, but was given a healthy scoop!

      I have had the same old Strikemaster augers for years, take care of them and they will last a long time.   I think E-augers are nice for around home lakes or at the cabin. The thing that was a eye opener to me was being in D-Rock in New Brighton getting new blades and there were two guys that just got back from a week in Canada on a big ice fishing trip and both very pissed off at their e-augers dying! They were both buying new gas augers.

      On the south end...   Things are shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 11th.  Recent rain has brought up the water levels, which were low.  The walleyes and saugers are in very good shape across the south shore.  Expectations are high. The goto presentation this weekend will be a jig and frozen emerald shiner or other kind of minnow.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.     Hook the shiner through the mouth and out the gill.  Push the minnow all the way up to the jig head and hook the minnow as far back as possible.  This will give you a better hooking percentage.     Jig sizes and colors?  This is stained water so you can get away with a big heavier jig, which is nice for those who don't fish a lot.  It enables them to have more control and feel the bottom.  A quarter ounce jig is a good size for starters.     In stained water, gold, glow white, glow red, pink, orange and chartreuse, or a combo of those colors, are great places to start.   The limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there will be some good pike caught this weekend.  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...  Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season is May 8 - 15.  The keep season starts up again July 1st. FYI, there will be some nice walleyes in the Rainy River for the fishing opener.  Lots of sturgeon anglers are reporting big walleyes being caught on sturgeon rigs! Up at the NW Angle...  Angle resorts are ready to roll for the opener.  As many of you know, this is the area of LOW where the islands begin.  Lots of structure.     Go to spots for walleyes, neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays which will have warmer water.  In true NW Angle form, be ready for a mixed bag of fish.  In addition to walleyes and saugers, pike, jumbo perch, crappies, and even a few smallies and muskies will be caught.   Again, the goto presentation will be a jig and minnow. Slow trolling a crankbait will also produce fish if need be.

      Totally disagree Gim. I have a gas Jiffy legend auger. Never issues. Take a little time to care for it before putting it away and good to go. Sincei started using non oxygen gas, startron and seafood in never have issues with my 2 strokes.   seafood???   I'd try seafoam!!!   🤣
