Rented a field from them and wasn't happy with the spot. The "x" was on the other side of the road and we couldn't compete with live birds. The ones that came across barely changed their wing beats.

But, I wouldn't let one marginal experience impact their reputation. They are wild birds after all!

I'm sure they'll do well for you. Let us know what your experience is like.

You can always check out their FB page. They post alot of videos of their hunts. From what I've seen and hear, I would have no problems booking a hunt. All i'm lacking right now are the funds to do it.

We have hunted with them many times. They are great people and try hard to put you on birds. The guides are great and treat everyone extremely well. They are a group of guys that love what they do and it shows. As others have stated we are hunting wild birds and they sometime do not do as expected, so sometime things that happen are out of their control. We have hunted with them, gone out scouting with them and always enjoyed everything they have to share with us. You will not be disappointed. Last conversation I had with one of the head guides is that they had 8000 new birds arrive at he refuge this past week so there are fresh birds to hunt, and more coming down every day. Have fun!

Bring some ear plugs!

If things don't go well with maxxed out check out the mallard club next time. I don't do guided hunts but I've heard good things from others.

Used them on couple goose hunts at lqp and had a fantastic time. One good hunt and one not so good. Just like fishing, you can't predict what's going to happen. Great people all around, and they all work hard to try and make your hunt enjoyable and successful. Wouldn't think twice about using them. My son has used them too. Make sure you bring enough shells.

Okay guys back from LQP. Maxxed out guides are awesome!!! Hade a blast and will definitely be back later this year and probably a couple trips next year. My dad hasn't waterfowl hunted in 37 years and watching him turn into a big kid in the field made my entire hunt. we shot some birds and saw a ton. cant wait until some new birds start heading down. Knute and Kick were our guides, they were great at calling and the atmosphere was more like hunting with friends that anything. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested.

      I don't know, this save the plant thing looks like a money maker, for someone! 🫤 Where do you think electric prices are going to go when they have the monopoly for everything that moves! 🙄

      Trailer Jack upgrade

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Trailer Jack upgrade

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      Bait

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      Bait

      By gimruis · Posted

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Think the Free crawlers in the back yard are going to take a hit this summer! 🤭

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol
