Its been a while since I posted a report on here, but I have been working and hunting and hunting some more! Here is a nice 8 point I got on camera earlier this year. I also want to make it known that on these videos, you will see brands of gear that I use that work for me, I am not sponsored by any single company, I just use them. I am not advertising for anyone. Also, you will notice a title of my videos now on the entry screen, this is just so I can practice editing videos. I do at some point want to try to do my own actual show and this is practice for me and I hope you all enjoy watching them in the mean time. I know I have a lot of improvement to do, but that's what I am working on. Thank you all for the positive feedback on my fishing report videos!

Nice video and a nice buck. Congrats! My only suggestion would be to try cleaning up some of the blood, or perhaps shoot the video from the cleaner side of the downed deer.

Thank you all for the suggestion and the positive feedback! I have two more hunts that I will be posting on here hopefully soon. I would like to get one with my muzzleloader! Thanks again!

Tom what I liked the most is that you are a genuine guy like most hunters. Most of the guys on hunting shows are complete cheese balls. My comment is that we are all tired of hearing the same commentary from all of them as they sit in the stand. "We'll see what happens" for example stay away from that talk to differentiate yourself (not that you do do that). I know it's hard to figure the words to say but I'd watch those shows and practice using different words or jargon to describe the situation you are in.

Looking forward to more. Be yourself but be different.

Thanks! Yeah I agree with you on some of the shows on tv. I try to be myself. It is just me out there in the stand, no cameraman, no hunting partners, so I do what I can to just explain what I am doing and the situations and such. There are a lot of us that do not have access to big buck havens and huge plots of land where we can manage food plots and such. Don't get me wrong, I would love to be able to have land like that. However, I am fortunate to have the spots I have. They aren't big acreages or even really near any prime buck areas. I have just a handful of spots that I have permission to hunt, and all but one of them I got by knocking on random doors. Mostly in the summer, on the way to and from the lakes, I would mark spots on my GPS and try to find the nearest home and knock on the door and ask for permission. I was a bit nervous to do that at first, but if I didn't try, I wouldn't know. And the worst that could happen is they could tell me no. And that did happen a few times, but I did lock down a few spots here in MN and ND. I leave on Saturday to deer hunt in Arkansas where I grew up on my moms small family farm. Hope I get one! And yes, I will be putting together a couple more videos soon.

Thanks again!

Nice video. I personally like that it shows the blood. It's part of it. There's nothing better than seeing a bunch of blood on the deer & knowing it was a fast ending. I know the antis don't like it, but lets face it, they don't like anything about it anyway.

Thanks for that bigbucks. It is reality and how it is when we hunt.

That was COOL!!! I actually like the fact that you didnt stage the deer before walking up to it. IMHO the people who watch these videos know what a dead deer looks like. I also liked that you left some of the video of you adjusting your cameras in the clip! Good job and congrats on a nice filmed bow kill! Look forward to seeing more videos!

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
