I'd like to welcome scotty18 as our newest Pro Staff in our newest forum.

This Forum was his idea and I concur.

Here is a little background on scotty18:

He is a sporting clays fanatic. He used to gunsmith and sell firearms. Scotty is a traditional archer and was a former conceal carry instructor.

He also has a backgound in law enforcement and nuclear security.

Let's welcome scotty18 aboard.

Thanks Rick, I submitted a idea for a new forum for a place to talk about shooting, and here we are. A lot of you know me from the gun dog forum and some of the fishing forums. I love to shoot. My main interests are shotgun sports, archery and handguns/conceal carry issues. On a average I shoot +/- 2000 rounds a year at sporting clays. I have been into archery for about 16 years now. I now shoot a recurve bow and make a lot of my own equipment. I do a lot of my own gunsmithing and reloading. I have 3 girls,13-11-8. They love the outdoors also. I'm big on getting kids into outdoor sports, they are the future.

Thanks, Scotty

Our very own forum for those of us who like to fling and zing arrows! Too Sweet! While you guys are up north on summer vacation don't forget your bow and stuff if you're gonna be in the Grand Rapids area. My dad runs a pro shop north of G.R. on the North Shoal Lake Road (Co Rd 256) west of MN State Hwy 38. Look for the black and red 4'x8' sign on the south side of the road. He's got a 28 target 3 D course set up. Day pass is $5 and summer season pass is $50. The shop is called Itasca Archery and he's got a website under that name as well.

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Think the Free crawlers in the back yard are going to take a hit this summer! 🤭

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol

      Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet.  Spots on the GPS! 🤗

      Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.
    • leech~~
      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.
