No one's started this yet? Huh. Well, I'll get it off the ground. Shot a limit of roosters today, including this beautiful golden-colored long tail. Nothing too crazy, 22 3/4" but it's my biggest yet so I'm pretty pumped

Great pic! I gotta get a pup. I've lost 4 birds already this season, not to mention who knows how many pheasants I've walked right past!!!

My Clyde the Glide with a couple of windy and wild November roosters, Friday before deer opener. It's been a great year so far.

I've really enjoyed the A5 so far...I've also got a citori that I'm partial to for pheasants, so I didn't think I'd like the A5 as much as I do. It's incredibly light, and paired with some Federal Prairie Storms it's a pretty fun gun to shoot. Maybe your beretta needs some company in the safe haha.

Great day today. a little windy but not too bad, just enough to cover our sound. Birds were holding really good, with several feet flushes. Shot 6, but one hit the ground running. I need a dog...

Awesome day in the field. Yesterday's shift started at 6am & we pulled back into the shop at 11am...today. I was actually feeling pretty good & it was absolutely beautiful outside & I knew that if I slept all day I wouldn't sleep at all tonight, so I figured I'd go try some new fields. After 2 big fields, 2 big sloughs and 3 wind rows these 2 got up. I had also jumped at least 20 hens, so I'm pretty sure all the roosters have been shot in this area. Figured that was enough & I was BEAT so I didn't go for #3

You guys are killing me! SE Nodak is depressing. I've been out three times with two good dogs and have ZERO roosters to show for it. Wish I could head west again. Crushed them out there on opener. Ugh. Hate always being on the wrong side of the state.

Tyler, any time you wanna get on a few birds let me know. I have an open spot on my floor for ya & would love to put ya on some spots. There aren't a ton of birds, but there's enough to keep things interesting

Didn't take long to get the picture and yes I did get that bird. I try to take pictures whenever I can, just sometimes have to drop the camera or phone to shoot.

Today was quite the adventure. Got off early cuz it's too darn cold to work outside, so I figured it was a perfect time for some hunting. Talked a couple buds into going and we ended up shooting our limit. We couldn't find 2 though. One crip & one went down hard, looked dead, but we searched for almost an hour in some super thick sage and couldn't find it.

Biggest tail yet, 24 1/2. Spurs were about 3/4"

      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
