There are two game farms in the elk river /princeton area. Look in the outdoor news for numbers and addresses

Gold Medows in St. Cloud is a great place.

And I second the outdoor news for a listing of some farms there.

My wife and I want to shoot some birds on a gamefarm October 18. Does anyone know of a directory or website that would give us names and numbers?

Or are there any that you would recommend? I would prefer something in the Annandale, Hutchinson area. We live in Rogers.

Another vote for Gold Meadows. They also have a website.

Why would you spend your money at a game farm when the real pheasant season just opened, with one of the highest pheasant forecasts in recent years? Spend your money on a good map of public lands and some gas, look for a public area where the crops are going out and then go after some real pheasants. When you get one of them, you have something to be proud of!

I will admit that I am biased against game farms, I think that they give hunting and hunters a bad name, especially when they start pushing to allow deer and elk to be released and shot in a pen. Maybe the pheasant farms would be good for a new pup, but thats about it. Plus I work too hard for my money, rather than spend $10-15 per released bird I'll put it toward a $105 SoDak licence.

Another vote for Gold Meadows, make sure you tell him what kind of dogs you will be bringing as it may determine which field he puts you on. He runs a clean, safe preserve and his birds all always big and healthy.
Here is his number 1-320-597-2747

Another vote for Gold Meadows. Top notch place and nice folks to boot.

I usually hunt there in the off season. Great way to relieve cabin fever.

Another vote for Gold Meadows, The Doubecks run a first class operation. As someone stated let Joe know what kind of dogs your running and how much experience they have. He will set up your hunt accordingly.

Gold Meadow's:
Ask Joe if Ralf is still there, he is the old timer and I think Joes father.
This guy really puts the effort into getting you your birds.But so do the rest of the guides, if you go with a guide any ways.

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
