I have been numbers of birds in smaller groups now. There is a group of jakes I am seeing every day on public ground. Toms are seeming to be in pairs or threes yet. I have seen a few hens but they were in small groups as well. It is getting close.

It's nice to see them now, but come season in another month, their home ranges may be quite different from what it is now.

Well that is true but on the private land that still has standing beans and corn. I don't see them leaving anytime soon or ever. The public land birds will move to their normal hang outs. I still like seeing them breaking up compared to huge winter flocks.

With only like 2 weeks to ago who chomping at the bit to sit in the blind. I woke up this morning to vivid dream of two double gobbling toms working into my spread. In my dream my nephew got trigger finger and blasted my hen decoy.

Turkeys on the brain! It does not help at work anotherguy is turkey hunter. He keeps sending videos or coming over to show me decoys. When I left Friday he was calling in the parking lot. He made a count down on my cube wall. I can't wait to spend time in the blind. 

 

We talked about using a deer decoy as confidence builder for turkeys. Or not wearing camo as turkeys seem to know when you are not hunting them. It was getting out of control on Friday.

      Just getting settled down now.  The kid and her family plus a buddy and his family came with.  Had to get everyone set up and get a couple pizzas into em.   19 inches of ice.  We drove till we came to crack that had softer ice about 13 inches.  Veered off and spread out on some structure.  One little walleye so far.  One missed.  Half dozen marked.   Good crust of snow about 2-3 inches on the east side.  Getting out toward the main body of water the snow patches and bare ice are about 50/50.  We have about 1/2 - 3/4 inch of snow here.  I’m able to move around without cleats for the set up but need to pay attention.  I’d be comfortable by myself but I’m still used to falling down, so… 😉

      Thanks for the report, kind of partel to sour dough and found many of the local maidens at market fairs to be a bit better then Great Harvest.   But, back on topic.  Pictures of cooked fish!  😜

      I have no idea what kind of jam Jan might’ve run into for lingonberries.  I just know she hit the mark with the blueberry.   After getting jammed up on the question I had to double check on the bread label to see if it came from the same store.  The bread was from Great Harvest, not Second Harvest.  Second Harvest is the food shelf….  The Great Harvest Bread Company has a location in Waite Park you might want to investigate.   Now, back to work with my cup of Reality Roasters coffee.  It’s budget season.

      Holy crap, Jan is missing the boat not having Lingonberry Jam for all the Finlanders up dar!  🙄     If she don't know?  Lingonberry jam is a Scandinavian staple that originates from the northern regions of Europe, where lingonberries grow in the forests of Sweden, Finland, and Denmark

      Well, a recent bout of fish fever has swept through our area causing work on Friday to be cancelled.     My wife said her fever is so bad she had to ice it ASAP.     Real time report on the snow and ice conditions expected tomorrow night.
