Story here, complete with picture of the moose: http://fillmorecountyjournal.com/

The craziest thing about this is that it is not even the first time I remember a moose being spotted around Lanesboro.

Back in the mid-1980s a moose was spotted in Fillmore County, just a little earlier in the fall. That one ended up getting shot by a deer hunter. IIRC the shooter claimed the moose attacked him, but the slug entry wound was in its hindquarter. laugh I also seem to remember hearing that he had the bad idea to load it the moose in his truck after shooting it and drive in to town to show it off.

Hopefully this moose stays north of the Iowa-Minnesota border until shotgun season down there is done, and he finds his way back to northern Minnesota.

      any reports in the backus area

      The 30.20 barometer probably didn’t help much.  But it also might be worth trying shallower?   10 feet seemed to be good in the past week on a few lakes and have read here that even shallower has been doing well for some.

      Careful out there this weekend

      I went out of the Federal Dam landing yesterday on Gull.  It was in good shape and we had 22 inches of ice where we fished.  I thought about going out again this afternoon but wind gusts to 25 don’t thrill me on bigger lakes with no real snow cover.

      Pike fishing Lake kabetogama

      By Wanderer · Posted

      I’ve only fished Kab once but I can imagine it behaves a lot like other shield lakes.  Try to spend time near current and use large baits; either live or artificial.  I’d never go pike fishing in that area without some F18 Rapalas.  The good old Original Floater in silver/black back being a top color choice.

      well nothing is biting, I did catch 2 very small perch in 15 FOW, had all kinds of activity in deeper water, but no takers. my locator would lite up with fish, but nothing bites.

      It's just about go time smurf 😀 I didn't wish for this weather but there won't b any complaints about it for sure. Been a great ice season but honestly ready for it to be over. I  plan on picking up the boat soon getting it ready and doing a little pool 4 fishing and maybe a rainy river run yet. Probably got a couple ice outings left next week maybe some last minute runs to ottertail county. Had a epic day with some buds today locally, fish were right under the ice was a blast 👍
