Anyone care to share how their season went? This was my first season waterfowl hunting in southern Minnesota, and so far I'm eating license and stamp soup! I started out jump shooting along river beds, and then picked up a dozen mallard decoys and went out on the Mississippi with my canoe. Saw a lot of birds early in the season, but they got few and far between pretty quick. I've been geese hunting public fields as well with two dozen silhouettes, but the geese seem to have moved south as well. Maybe this storm tonight will bring in some fresh birds. I'm telling myself I made all my mistakes this season, and I'll give them hell next year

Where are people taking hides these days? I haven't seen hides for habitat dropoffs this year.

It appears the US Fish and Wildlife Service is in the press of removing the Grey Wolf from the Endangered and Threatened lists. After waiting period they will be delisted on January 4th 2021.

This season got off to a slow start after my son got his first ever bird on his first youth opener. Parker's first shot at a duck or goose got him a ten pound Canada goose. Early regular season netted a few bluewing teal, wood ducks, and a mallard, but we weren't seeing as many birds in central MN as we usually do early in the season. With the cold fronts and even some snow lately, things have picked up with us decoying mallards, pintails, greenwing teal, shovelers, canvasbacks, ringnecks, redheads, and bluebills. Worried about an early freeze up with the current weather and forecasted weather, but we shall see. Good luck, and I will see you out there somewhere.

Heading up this week to chase birds and wondering if the leaves are mostly down? Thank you for the info.

I have a new Ruger GP100 6" barrel and I'm looking for the best cartridge for deer hunting? Max distance would be 30 - 40 yards

Just heads up, if you haven't already heard. Camp Ripley youth hunt has been cancelled for 2020.
Public hunts will not have a lottery, information and purchase dates will be released in August. This allows for a easier cancelation of the hunts.
Thanks Covid.

You can park along Minnetonka Blvd. The enforcement is from May1 to October 1. Just watch for the signs. Also the lot by the pickle ball courts is plowed and open. -

During the summer I've seen rigs parked down by the pickle ball courts to the west of the access. I don't think there is a permit required there but not sure. There were spots open right across Mtka. Blvd. from the access when I've seen rigs by the pickle ball courts. Don't know if it's plowed in the winter. In the attached pic it shows this lot as parking for the Deephaven City offices which are in the nearby. See "P" in the lower left of the pic. Maybe I'll swing by there this weekend and see. I need excuses to exercise the truck. -

Probably. Try charging it and monitor how quickly it comes to full charge. If it does it quickly it's another sign the battery is shot. -

I think I know the answer, but . . . After running for about 3 hours the output on my flasher battery dropped from 12.5v to 10.1v. Pretty much means it's dead, correct? -

I haven't fished that bay in years. The times I did go in there I did pretty well though. The entire bay is minimum wake so there tends to be less man-made waves than on other portions of the lake. -

I don’t know dude and I’m not going to debate it. I’ve never used it and always came in from the lake side to Carson’s and there were always people there. Besides a certain spot I know in that bay you now know most of what I know about it. 😉 -

That's not the issue. I'm wondering where people park if they're using the Carson Bay access. -

Marcum is located here: 3943 Quebec Ave N, New Hope, MN 55427 I've owned 3 Marcums for 15+ years, all flashers. Both LX3s had an issue and both were fixed and no issues since. I live close enough so I brought them to their location. One of the LX3s is one I bought off of Craig's list. The guy was selling it cheap because it had an issue. It had the same issue as my other one so I knew what the fix would be. I bought it and dropped it off at Marcum to get fixed. Basically an almost new flasher for about 40% cost of new. -

What part of the lake do you want to fish? I grew up within a 1/2 mile of Maxwell Bay. There are a lot of nooks and crannies and old fire roads. I don't know if all are still open in the winter but knowing the part of the lake you want to fish will help find access locations and maybe parking. -

I did not participate in the youth hunt growing up because it didn't exist. I went on opener like everyone else. The early seasons and special youth regulations are relatively new. Do I think that having the youth duck season a couple weeks inhibits my success as a duck hunter? No, not likely. I don't think there's enough pressure to have an impact. But that's not the point. I believe that every hunter or angler that wants to hunt or fish should be able to. You buy a license and you can do it. You can make opener about teaching your child to hunt too. I know this because that's what happened to me. The early deer season is another topic for another day. Duck hunting has really gone down hill in about the past 8-10 years. When I first starting doing it, I'd see flocks of mallards that I haven't seen anymore. Hundreds of wood ducks early in the season too. Recently its just a fraction of that now. In the same spots I hunted years ago too. They just aren't there anymore. Its partially my own fault because I don't scout anymore and try to find new, more productive spots. I think many of the ducks that used to migrate through here have changed their migration route to the west. Something is going to have to change dramatically for me to start doing it again. Thanks for your work in the health care field this past year, Kettle. We are greatly appreciative of your work more than ever.
