Thanks to all for the entries. This week is a mess at work (like last week), but I'll try get things moving in the right direction and get some prize winners announced next week.

OK, this is finally coming together. Here's a run down of the prizes I rounded up.

I donated the ScentTote, Jim Gerold (aka. NoWiser) donated the Lansky Bowsharp Blade Sharpener and the two Vexilar hats, DonBo rounded up all of the ScentLok gear (besides the Tote) from the Wildlife Research Center, and Joe and Rick offered offered up the HSO sticker and two $20 gift certificates to the OutdoorProStore. THANKS VERY MUCH TO THE WILDLIFE RESEARCH CENTER, NOWISER, DONBO, RICK, AND JOE FOR HELPING ME OUT WITH THESE DONATIONS!

I will mail out all of the prizes that I have here, except the ScenTote- I'll work with the winner of that to figure out a way to get it to him without either of us having to pay for shipping (if it's possible to do realistically). Joe and Rick have the sticker and gift certificates, so they'll mail them out directly to the winners.

First place, non-hero division: the prize will be the ScentLok Scent Tote.

Second place, non-hero division: Tan Vexilar hat, Scent Killer Body Wash, Scent Killer laundry detergent, and a Scent Free Secrets brochure.

First place, hero division: Lansky Bowsharp Blade Sharpener, black Vexilar hat, HSO sticker, and $20 to the OPS.

Second place, hero division: Scrape Hunting brochure, Scent Killer dryer sheets, Scent Killer anti-perspirant, Scent Killer spray bottle and refill bottle, $20 to OPS.

I'll get the winners posted later today or tomorrow.

Just a reminder about how the prize winners are selected. First, I have nothing to do with the selection. Second, an HSO photo expert was kind enough to go through all of the photos and rank the top three in the hero and non-hero divisions. Next, two buddies of mine who have photography expertise and lots of outdoor hunting experience reviewed the selections and gave their input, making slight tweaks to the selections based on their opinions. Lastly, I went through the prizes I'd acquired and decided to have first and second places in both divisions- I didn't get quite as many prizes this year compared to last year, so I dumped the 3rd place in both divisions. Next year I'll get more prizes earlier, so 1st - 3rd are covered in all three categories (hopefully).

So, with all that covered- here are the prize winners of the 2013 HSO Archery Photo Contest. Congrats to them!!!

First place, non-hero division winner is NoWiser with the pic below.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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
