Any news on the Gov deer opener?

Myself and two other guys headed up to our camp (20mi NE of Bemidji) and stopped at the Sawmill in Grand Rapids for dinner & drinks Fri PM. When we pulled up there were 5 squad cars and banners everywhere proclaiming it to be HQ for the 2004 Govener deer opener. We never did see 'the man' but was wondering if anyone heard any reports from his camp.

In yesterdays paper it said that he shot a small buck on opening morning. I think it said the paper said that it was a fork horn, but I'm not positive.

He shot a small buck Sat morning and then was leaving to run the NYC marathon.

And I thought dragging deer out of the woods was enough of a work out. grin.gif

I can't get the pic posted so I put the link to the gov's web site I hope its OK with the moderators

I just took about a total of 3 minutes and e-mailed the Governor on what a great thing he is doing by promoting hunting and the natural resources. I'm sure he's getting some **** from those other groups, so I figured he might want to hear some positive news from hunters like us. I'm telling ya, if you can type something in on this forum, you can send a positive message to him and it takes so little time. This is not to be a political jab, (as I vote both sides,) but here we have a man who says he hunts and actually goes out and does it! He needs to hear from some hunting supporters!

I would consider a yearling to be "bambi". Like the one I shot. A forkhorn sounds nice to me.

      Just gotta use some common sense and have some ice safety gear.  If I hadn’t duffed the shot on the buck on the last day of rifle season, I’d probably be on the ice this weekend also.  Instead, I’ll still be chasing some vennie.

      just seen a report on fartbook the pines resort on winnie had 8-9 inches in the bay.  they did warn any further out the ice has not been checked, like over by the river!!!!!

      Looks like Vermilion froze overnight on Monday, which would make it officially frozen Tuesday, December 3.  I am going out to McKinley Park Friday morning to check out the ice conditions and possibly fish.

      Looking at the webcams, I don't see any open water. Is Big Bay completely frozen over yet?   The forecast looks like a few inches of snow Sunday/Monday followed by temps below zero.

      I'd say lakes under 500 acers less than 40 ft deep. They're targeting panfish. We're making ice everyday. Windy today, terrible roads, lots of people decided that they needed to drive fast and that unfortunately led to some vehicles doing some incidental off roading

      Falls gone Gim, time to move to ice fishin!!👍

      Fall was like a month long.  Maybe even less.  I'm quite a bit south of you but I can recall fishing in short sleeves in late October.  Less than a month later, prior to Thanksgiving, winter arrived.   September and most of October were way more like summer than fall.  Kind of too bad, I like fall.

      is that 5-6 inches on smaller lakes or ........... bigger water bodies. i'm guessing knowing the lakes i fish or would like to should maybe have more. i will be seeing a former coworker who livws of hwy 6 north of deer river saturday, hoping he's got a good report.   he's a neighbor and good friend to CO Fairbanks so should get some good intel. i know Mike well too!

      It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year.
