Stop trying to change the subject.  Once the Wolves kill all the Deer, they'll start eating all the fish!!

I have heard of deer eating fish but not wolves but I am sure they would if they catch one

Deer season or should I say grouse season? We ate a lot of grouse over the 7 days. Ps I sure was missing my old pointing Chihuahua’s.

[monstermoose78]

Rigged up all my ice rods with new line. I am super excited to hit the ice!! Anyone else get their gear ready?

[fishingstar]

If you don't mind what do you use for line?

I was able to fill a bonus antlerless mgmt tag last week with a nice young corn fed deer.  Didn't see a whole lot though in 7.5 days of hunting.  I think it was a little too warm.  Plus there's still a good amount of standing corn where I hunt south of Milaca.

 

I saw 5 bucks but none of them were big enough shooters.  One was a nice 8 pointer that was I was getting ready to shoot, but when it turned, I saw that one side had completely broke off, so I let it walk.  That was a buzz kill.  Its really too bad, it was a nice buck and had a drop tine.

 

I also saw a coyote, 2 raccoons, 3 stray cats, 8 wild turkeys, and too many pheasants to count.  I plan to start pheasant hunting soon after the temps drop some.

 

Way too warm out there this week to be hunting.  I don't think ice fishing will be happening until January.  Its supposed to be warm through the end of the month.  Best to keep fishing out of your boat.

Berkeley Ice line the grey or silver looking stuff but the mono in 2-3 pound test.

If you have time and are looking for aime great custom plastics and jigs look at the photo for details. 

[monstermoose78]

If you ask what plastics I have been getting he will tell you. Haha

[monstermoose78]

I have all my panfish gear ready to rock and roll, so now I am just waiting on ice. My wife saw all my plastics and she was not impressed with all my selections.

I got a couple dumb roosters on Friday.  Hunted 2 spots and raised about 15.  Ditches are full of water.  Stunning day out there though.  Finally some corn coming out.

[monstermoose78]

Good to hear some corn is being taken out. I think will go try to chase roosters with the dogs.

I put my deer hunting grouse to good use for Thanksgiving. It is a wild rice casserole that my grandpa used to make!!
