I want to take the time and thank a few people that made this possible. This year’s contest had quite a few entries, and the photos keep looking better and better each year. A positive side-effect here is that all those memories will be that-much better preserved with a great photo of the hunt’s culmination.

-Adam from Art Barbarians gets the big-thanks for basically setting this whole contest in motion. Without him, the thing wouldn’t even get off the ground! Adam is one heckuva turkey-hunter to his own-credit, as many of you remember from last year’s photos and article on the home page.

-Chris (owner of Art Barbarians) gets another huge thanks for donating the prizes and working to sponsor the entire thing. Check out their gallery, which is loaded to the gills with great wildlife art, at:

-Panel of Judges - Special thanks to Scot Storm, Jim Hautman, Joe Hautman, Jim Hansel and Randy ( of Your Big Shot). It makes the contest that much more special to have artists of your caliber weighing-in on the decisions. Thank you!

-Contestants!!! – You guys who go out there, hunt turkeys, and post your photos are another key to the successes we’ve shared. There would be no contest without the many great entries we’ve received. Make sure to remember to give something back here on the turkey board by sharing some tips and strategies, or even a story from the hunt. There are many of us out there who are very interested, especially myself!

Thanks for a great spring everyone, can’t wait until next year!

I stopped by Art Barbarians yesterday to pick up my print.

Very nice guys to work with!

Best part is you stop in to check out prints or framing and you end up talking a little fishing and hunting as well. grin.gif

I have them framing up my print and looking forward to getting it back to hang on the office wall.

I'll be heading back there with some prints I have that need some framing for sure.

I stopped by there on Friday afternoon to pick up my print as well. Got a chance to talk shop with both Chris and Adam, and these guys are about as knowledgeable as it gets when you're talking wildlife art and artists. Chris recommended some other prints that would fit well in our place, as well as mentioning some artists whose work I might enjoy.

I spent the rest of the time talking turkeys with Adam. Both he and Chris enjoy chasing birds, and had some good pictures to share.

Thanks guys, I'll be seeing you soon I'm sure.

Harpoon:

Swing up to Art Barbarians in Rogers and check out the store. The prints will be there. It's an excuse to check out the Cabelas across the highway as well.

Directions are a few post's above in this thread.

How much time do I have to get there? I am pretty busy with work now and have a few trips coming up so I wouldn't be able to make it to that area any time soon. Would it be possible to get it shipped?

      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. .

      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!

      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

      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
