Im not sure of the rules about trapping so I need your help. I was pheasant hunting on a WPA area and came across two raccoon in traps that were twenty yards apart. I was sure glad I got my dogs out of there before they seen them.This was at 9:30 in the morning. Then I came back at 12:30 to see if the raccoons were still there in the traps and they were. I really dont know the rules for trapping but I think I did the right thing and left the area. I would appreciate some comments about this.

What are you concerned about? Seems legal to me, but without know the trap sets, if they were labeled, what type of traps, etc., it's pretty hard to pass judgement...

You must check traps once every 24 hours. And tampering with a trap or its catch is not legal so you did the right thing. If 24 hours go by and they are still there a phone call to the local CO may be in order.

      Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
