The Perkins is 15 minutes from The Game farm. If we all show up at perkins at 7;00am that would give us 45 minutes to eat or have coffee.

Sorry guys I replied last night but my reply isn't showing up today. Probably because of the site upgrade.

So far we have 17 shooters, 12 dogs and 71 pheasants.

I'm hoping we get a couple more people this week. I will have our groups setup this weekend along with the final updated signup list.

Most everyone has mailed in the deposit, so if you have't yet please try and get them out soon. This really helps save valuable hunting time and assures us of meeting our minimum goals. The remaining money owed will be collected upon arrival. This will assure the owner gets his money and no one will have to overpay if we fall short.

I'm assuming the weather will be warm still, so bring plenty of water in the field for your dogs. Water is available at the farm, just bring a bottle and a bowl.

Any last minute questions or special requests please let me know.

Spinach - I'm still in, I totally forgot to send the check, very sorry. I will be there with one dog. I may be able to bring one more guy with another pointer. I will try and get a conformation out of him by tomorrow. I will get that check out today...better late than never. This time of the year is so busy for me, looking forward to seeing you all again.

PS - does anyone have a young dog that they would like to do some training with maybe during lunch time? I can bring my remote launchers and we could get some nice controlled training. Let me know.

Pat - Check is in the mail.

Hey Setterguy!
Daisy could probably use some training with dummies. So if you want to I'll volunteer her for that. Thanks!

Mistermom - the remote launchers are for launching live birds, they aren't the dummy launchers. I will bring the launchers, they are real nice for bringing the pup in in a controlled invironment.

Well.....Here I am getting nervous again. Luci's first time on live bird and live shooting since spring. Hopefully she will do a decent job and not make me look like an *****! She is now 11 months old, her birthday is the week of the pheasant opener. I think i'll take her out for her birthday....what a great excuse to go hunting...."but its luci's birthday" grin.gif

Bdr,

I hope you can still make it, let me know as soon as you know your status.

To everyone else I am still working on groups for the hunt, but I probaly won't have it done until the morning of the hunt. Reasons are because of a couple of people might not be making it and also a couple more have contacted me about coming but cannot commit until the end of the week.

Overall it looks like we will have between 15-20 people at the hunt.

See you all Sat. morning at Perkins

I have 2-3 others that might possibly sign up towards the end of the week.

If you would like to join us please sign up it's not to late!

We need to make the minimum of 80 birds to secure the entire farm... We are a few short. A couple more people will get us there or a few of us might need to buy 1 more each.

We will have an optional contest also. The contest will consist of a $5 anti per person. I'll have Rick the owner mark 2 birds with colored ribbon, each bird will be worth 50% of the entire pot. We will not know where he plants these birds so it will be fair to everyone, even if your not in the field he planted the bird you could still have a chance because of wild flushes, poor shooting, etc...

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!
    • PSU
      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!  
    • jim curlee
      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
