Have any other gouse hunter's out there found as many tick's as I have? Small (deer) tick's! Me and the boy's walked a little tonight and I bet we found a dozen on us when we where done. It's scarin' me. I've lived and hunted grouse in northern MN all my life and it seem's every year there's more. All the time I spent in the wood's from the middle 70's to the late 80's nobody even mentioned tick's after July. Anoyone have an answer?

TKF,
Was out last weekend and after the first trail I pulled 12 off the dogs head alone. Needless to say picked up a tick collar one the way home.

I've never had any luck with tick collars but a product called "Front Line" works great. You need to get it from the vet.

Front Line works great! In the two years we have had our lab we have only pulled two ticks from her and one of those was before we started with Front Line.

The only problem that we have noticed is that for acouple of days after you apply it the dog is supose to stay out of the water. Keeping my lab out of the water is almost cruel and inhumane she loves it and looks at me like I am punishing her when she can not go in.

      2023 Lake Vermilion Fishing Reports

      Thanks, I'm riding this now "TW200 pictuer wouldn't post" so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍

      There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely.  I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd.  I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6.  You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties.  Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip.

      I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on?  It would be cool to ride by. 👍

      The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too.  I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive.  We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that.  Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG

      Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away.

      Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season.  Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind.  The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch.   That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure.

      Was up Tuesday and Wednesday this week for a UHV ride to Ely.  Made it out fishing for a few hours those days.  Walleye bite for me was fairly slow but I was only using leftover crawlers.  Most others I saw were using minnows so maybe they were having better luck.  Fall colors should be at peak on Vermilion.  Weather doesn't look the greatest however. Good luck and enjoy the fall season on the lake.
