I am pumped as well I found some one hung a stand 15 yards from me and I am on private land? I know there is two of us in there so some one is where they are not and they are feeding deer. Well just the same there is a lot of deer and shoot strait matt good luck to all that are hunting the fish will love this time.

This will be my first full bow-season living in Duluth after missing almost all of last year getting ready to move. The scouting is done, one stand is up and a few other spots in the Duluth city hunting area are marked on the GPS. Hopefully a few deer are left by next Monday afternoon which is going to be my first time on stand for the season. Here's hoping everyone has a safe and successful hunt this weekend. SHOOT THOSE DOES!! Can't wait for the first meal of fresh venison. 'sgonna be GOOD!

I also will be ready for the big hunt. The stand is up and and there is a monster that i have seen twice. So hopefully a doe in the A.M, and the big boy in the evening. Good luck to everyone, and be safe.

Nice to see you guys ready, Tom

I did not see your name on the land owner sheet today, so you should get that in, as fas as your problem, on Tuesday

The ABA, City police,DNR and CO's will meet to discuss proper protocall, with so many invloved agencies we need to have a detailed plan.

So my guess is you have a tresspasser this may be handled by the land owner calling city police, probabaly the same for the feed and if there is someone sitting in the stand we may have the CO's look into it.

So keep in touch we'll get it fixed before the hunt!

Good to see others from the site geared up for the city hunt. I'm so ready for this season. I've got all sorts of spots to relocate if I need to but for now I have all the does I can stand coming right through my lanes and there's so many bucks it's unreal. A few in the 130's to 150's that have caught my eye but I know there's bigger...way bigger. I've captured many pictures of people on my trail cam along with the deer and i'm thankful none of them came back with a saw or bolt cutters to steal it. Guys, I definately have the fever.

I just sold my fish house to a guy who got a 230# eight pointer on Sun. Saw the deer on the news, it looked like a long horned steer.

Someone got a monster eh? Where might I find pics of this deer? We've got a few deer but this weather is really hurting the deer movement I think. The cold is nice but the rain and wind can head out soon. If anyone starts getting some bucks maybe post the pics here?

As usual if Im close to you Im not catching fish so I will stay far far away! grin.gif

And yes there is a very good chance Ill have my orange hat on. I may have to retire that thing by spring. Way to many people know to look for the Lund with a big ugly guy with a orange hat on. crazy.gif

I just hope those eyes are where I left them last time out. Im sure this weather will have me searching for a bit though.

I just developed some trail cam pics and on the 12 pictures that were developed there were 6 different P&Y bucks. The two shooters arean 8 that probably goes 150+ and a 10 that is also in the 150's. The 8 has it all though...mass, main beams, height, spread...everything is huge. 150 is being conservative. I've got two deer tagged so far and we've gone 16 for 6 guys. It's time for the bucks...too bad every pic is at night. Tom, sorry I couldn't get to the phone the other night. It was in my truck as we were cutting up meat. Hope things worked out for ya and fishing was good as well.

Mr. Pfister,

If the private land you are referring to is the Oneota Cemetery property in the northwest corner of zone 7A then I am the (Contact Us Please) who bungled into that area. I misread the map and got the stand hung, found a nearby stand near mine, investigated it, then got a call from Kim Gerard a few days before opener informing me of my mistake which I quickly corrected by removing my stand completely out of Oneota's property. I apologize for my mistake. What about "they are feeding deer"? Did you find bait in the area? I can assure you that it did not come from me as I have always been a "by the book" bowhunter and wouldn't stoop to illegal baiting.

Anyway, hope you have succesful hunting. I've harvested a doe fawn and an adult doe so far. Haven't seen anything over a spike buck to date. Best of Luck to all!

I will just chime in quick and say that I am in the hunt also. With me working road construction I have only been able to get out twice. Yesterday and last Sat. and I think we all remember that nasty weather last weekend. I didn't see anything. I almost had my anterless down yesterday but of course it stood in the only place that I couldn't shoot, but saw 5 total (does and fawns) but nothing else close enough. Good luck guys! I will be in stand all weekend coming up, so I hope to connect!

I would like to say it happens but what is private and hunt-able land we should know where we are???? well good hunting to you as well there was corn out 20 yards from your stand ??? I felt some one was in the wrong ? I was glad you did not put it there but it was there the DNR would not let me hunt there for ten day's after the corn was gone that stink's for me but the rules are as they read shocked.gif. I hope every one has good hunting I am three for five on buck and a doe to go smile.gif

Hey Tom P.,

Totally agree with you, I should have been more careful about where I put my stand, I was under the mistaken impression that the entire zone was public (should have known better) and put my stand in a decent looking spot. I intended to, but did not, get the plat book to be certain about where I was placing my stand when I put it up. As soon as I was able to, the next day after being notified that I was in the wrong, I removed the stand from the area. Again, I apologize if my error has effected your hunting in any way and swear that I won't let it happen again. It soundz like the placement of the corn has affected your hunting. I, too, would like to find out who did that and point the DNR in their direction. No tolerance for non-legal tactics in this hunt, especially with the attention being paid to all Duluth City Bowhunters by the Duluth City Council and the general public. We need to police our own.

Best of Luck to all bowhunters!

Tom B.

What's with all the non-Duluth residents participating in the city bowhunt? I thought the hunt was just for Duluth residents?

      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? 🤭
    • Rick G
      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
