That was the deer’s.  It got damaged in the accident too.

 

Feel free to use that one yourself if you need to.

Walked today and yesterday, flushed 9, shot at two and got two. Hopefully next year I'll have a dog to hunt with. Still warm up here, skim of ice on ponds. Weather has been nice. Hopefully walk a bit more the next few weeks. Been pretty cautious walking for birds to not interfere with deer hunters. There sure are not the deer hunters there used to be

 How's the ice coming along? Looked at a few Webcams, its starting on some bigger lakes!

The lake i live on locked up Wednesday but it's pretty shallow and wind protected. I'd venture to say by next weekend lots of these little lakes will be sitting at 4-6 inches

[smurfy]

Looking forward to the report.

Tamarack on Winnie opened to foot and ATV travel.  Stating a real possibility of UTV travel by this weekend.

 

Crazy MN weather.

I’m seeing reports of up to 6-7 inches in the Brainerd area.  Edward as much as 8 by shore and 4 still out quite a way.

 

The big lakes might take that hit but I doubt the smaller ones will be affected,  Man, it turned fast this year.  This weekend there will be a ton of people out.

thats sounding great. honestly unless we get a pile of snow i am pretty sure the ice will be in great shape by the weekend of the 13-14th.  i spent 10 days at the cabin deer opener...8 days in Wi chasin deer, part of me says i should stay home for a bit, .......but naw that itch is getting worse to hit da ice and throw that fork!!!!!!

Lots of medium lakes are locked tight, big lakes like trout in colraine, turtle caribou north of Marcell are open. I'd venture small and medium lakes will be good for foot travel and or atv this weekend

It’ll hurt your arms as you’ll have to saw through that thick, thick 12 inches instead of 6-8.

I got all the time in the world to getter done!

It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year. 

[smurfy]

is that 5-6 inches on smaller lakes or ........... bigger water bodies. i'm guessing knowing the lakes i fish or would like to should maybe have more. i will be seeing a former coworker who livws of hwy 6 north of deer river saturday, hoping he's got a good report.

 

he's a neighbor and good friend to CO Fairbanks so should get some good intel. i know Mike well too!

Fall was like a month long.  Maybe even less.  I'm quite a bit south of you but I can recall fishing in short sleeves in late October.  Less than a month later, prior to Thanksgiving, winter arrived.

 

September and most of October were way more like summer than fall.  Kind of too bad, I like fall.

Falls gone Gim, time to move to ice fishin!!
