Going to try and get a dove or three and maybe some crows.

Got three doves but no crows. Note to self if using pheasant loads let the doves get out there before shooting.

It was nice to hear the shooting Saturday morning. I'm limited to grouse and maybe some pheasants with a 20 gauge this year. Tore three tendons and my bicep muscle in my right arm a year ago (shooting arm) - shot my spring turkey left handed this year. Got everything fixed though - Doc says I'll be able to shoot a 12 gauge again next year - sucks getting old, but maybe duck hunting with a 20 might work, small ponds and woodies? Yep, might just work......?

You can hunt everything with a 20. My brother kill countless geese with his 20 gauge.

You might have trouble using a 20 gauge for turkeys.  They have body armor.

They have some amazing turkey loads for 20 gauges now.

Well a no go for youth waterfowl day, so Finn and I are going to whack some doves.

Not one dove seen while out hunting for them. Finn and I found a crippled goose and I called it in to the local dnr. I did not buy a early goose license or I would let Finn get it.

Went up north grouse hunting it was fun. I must say having a dog makes it better.

Where is good duck hunting I have a new young Hunter anything in isanti surrounding areas

There lots of lakes and public land to explore.

I went out for duck opener near Milaca and it was sweltering HOT.  It was even cloudy/drizzly for a portion of the morning and it was still unbearable.  The DNR needs to move all these major hunting season openers back a week.  Its pretty obvious that fall is getting hotter and hotter.  We got 6 ducks and 2 geese but so it was at least a somewhat decent hunt but that didn't make up for the fact that it was like hunting in Louisiana.

They can’t really move it back because the teal and woodies would be gone

Posted

The woodies were still around in November last season because it was in the 60's on deer opener.  They won't be gone.

Nope there is a bunch of wood ducks around as I hunted with @river rat316 today got my limit of woodies.

I got a double on mergansers I thought that was great. Finn made a fine double retrieve, but both were laying dead in the pond.

      🤣 not near as shiny and spendy as that livescope toy. Thats kinda like bling ain't it? besides i'm on a paultry union pension  🫣
    • Kettle
      I mean to catch pike you just need a shiny object...

      Just another "Words matter"   Voting on school levy. This was posted on the School "education district" building door.  We had a nice cold walk all the way around the building! The arrow was added, after we educated them! 😒
    • Wanderer
      Nope!  But it’s more funner!
    • smurfy
      I don't need no livescope to catch fish....🤔🤪  It's all in how ya wiggle the worm!😜 Just sayin  🤣
    • Kettle
      Obviously this is more of a hot topic due to forward facing sonar. With that being said, I know people who have pulled crappies out of basins 40+ deep since the fl-8 and zercom flashers came out. That's over 30 years ago. I do think there's a push to ban these in MN and I could see them doing it here. They'll have to pay my livescope from my cold dead hands 😆 on days I can't catch a walleye jigging or rigging it's nice to turn it on and throw corks at individual fish
    • Kettle
      It wasn't just you, I was fishing west of you about an hour on Monday. Fished 8am-4pm, no fish, two keeper walleye and one small one from 4pm-630pm. Marked a lot of fish, they would come up to a jig and swim away. They were skittish to the dead stick too

      I wonder like divers, if we let them decompress every 10' for 1/2hr. If that would help?  🤔  It would slow the bite down a bit!  🤭
    • carlsonmn
      That was a better study compared to last winter when they setup the vertical tube nets and tried to release exhausted fish from being studied and expected them to be able to swim straight down a 3' hoop net.     That lake's crappie population from this latest video was pretty deep at 40-50', and no doubt from those depths that is barotrauma for most.  That is deeper than most crappie holes but certainly how some are. However from helping give fish a good release from the 35' and less range and tracking them with live sonar most of them swim at a shallow angle back to the depths and I watch them rejoin the school and be active.  Uncut Angling's video helped counter some of the initial narrow findings.

      If you fished with me more often, you'd never have to make this statement...   38" of ice - love it. I'm really going to have to dig around for my auger extension. I don't think that I've needed it in over a decade.   Too bad nobody has a locomotive chugging across the ice to do some logging, like the good old days.
