Crazy, I've heard of lighting strikes doing that. I wonder if they have some proof of intentional lighting? -

Hunt the west end of Mille Lacs area in public land. We had 5 hunters...I missed a med buck, and my buddy shot 2 bucks, that we shall say were not very old. decent and got meat on the table, but the bigguns were not showing up. We only saw 1 doe being chased by a small buck at dark...I did have something bound away when I was packing up last night. Overall another wild opening weekend with some situations that happened that only happen when you are out in the woods and a bunch of other "hunters" are out with you. Example as we were leaving the woods on Saturday the local fire department was there putting out a fire that they say was started due to some "hunters" starting the hollow trees on fire to smoke out porcupines, racoons, possums, and squirrels. Apparently this is the 3rd fire in the past 2 weeks in the area, and they were threatening to shut the area down to hunters for the season! We were wondering why a large trail had been cut through the woods to an area that was burnt deep into the swamps and oak ridges. Find out that was a fire from a few weeks earlier!! Unreal -

Your rut thoughts sound pretty much dead on. I have a buddy with 220 acres of land in center, mn and last year they had 5 very nice bucks on opening weekend and got nothing this year so far. He thinks it's to warm still. -

I’ve got plenty of photos over the past week but no tag filled. I only saw 3 that I thought were worth a stalk with the bow in SD. None worked out for one reason or another. The two guys I went with both got smaller bucks. Did 2 days archery in the 172 before boom stick season opened, then 2 days of that. Had over 20 sightings; all but 2 were does and fawns. The two others were a spike and fork. I’m waiting on an adult. Some shots were fired close to me but overall the amount shooting seemed to be down. Friends in the area saw mostly does and fawns also but few bucks and let ‘em walk cuz they were small. Sounds like that might be the one free pass they got though. The bucks are there but not chasing yet. Cameras show them at night. Fawns are all with does yet. This thing called the rut is still at a simmer based on what we’ve been seeing. -

I was spared all but the last 2:47 of the game. That was painful enough to watch. My wife said the whole game was like that. Glad I stayed in the deer stand. -

It's been a month since I posted a fishing report, so thought I would share our results this past weekend. The water temperature has dropped to as low as 41° in the shallow bays, though some of the deeper bays were still at 45. Friday night and Saturday Jeff and I targeted walleyes and caught 95 of them with 13 over the slot, the biggest being a couple of 27 1/2"ers. All of them were caught casting and all of them were released. One of our 'overs' struck a 6 inch swimbait so violently that it blew the bait completely through her gills, where the lone treble hook stuck on the outside of the fish, halfway down her body. Amazing... On Sunday we targeted smallmouth bass and got 54 of them, with a handful in the 4 pound class though most were in the 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pound class. We also caught a musky and a 26 1/2 inch walleye as a bonus by-catch while bass fishing. That musky picked up a little finesse jig/craw worked on bottom in 20 feet of water. All in all, it was time well spent on beautiful Lake Vermilion. To do that with my son made the trip that much more special.. -

Nothing? No one got a deer, saw a deer or heard a deer? Know someone who got a deer or know someone that knows someone who got a deer this year? I didn't go for one of the first years since I was 14, just no sign up where we hunt to give and effort. -

Jeez, John Parker Romo never played in the NFL or with the Vikings and he walks on and saves the day! I thinking he's a full time employee now!
