The goal of the hunt is to significantly thin the herd. Where the hunters live isn't as important as meeting the goal.

83 walleye, don't even go there. There are a bunch of people from Mn hunting over here in Superior. It dosn't matter where your from. Its about reducing the deer car accidents.

Sounds like the right way to look at the situation. Population control is first and foremost.

They are all in the arlington ave zone. Seen 2 really nice bucks and a lot of does up in the old dog training place. One is a good 10 and the other may be a 12 or 13.

Hey steve guess were i'm hunting...arlington. I've got pics of some beauties and there have been some monsters sighted. I've heard through the grapevine that a guy downed a 170" 10 pt on the opposite side of the road from me but his buck was with a bachelor group of five with the smallest being a 140" deer. The third biggest deer was killed in my zone last year but two bigger ones were seen just out of range. I like this city hunt. cool.gif One more doe to go and then one of the big boys.

I heard that there was a monster 16 pointer hanging out over by the K-9 thing also. Young guy stopped by the shop with a really nice 9pter from the city hunt yesterday.

The 10 is all over the place lately. Or there is more than 1 nice 10 but Im sure its 1 deer.

The big one I usually only see every once on a while and usually standing very close to or in some cover. For sure a buck of a lifetime. I think it may even have a drop.

Before all the construction on the dang 911 building we had nice deer all over because we had a lot of nice wood and gardens. Now all we see in our work yard is little does.

Here's pics of the two 'shooters' I've got with the trail cam. I guess someone across arlington from me shot a 170+ 13 pointer. There's more where he came from though.

I'm hunting between central entrance and trinity along arlington road. My buddy's lady friend killed a nice 8 pointer tonight. This is her first year bowhunting and her first buck down. She might even be so lucky as to have an article in outdoor life (I think). I went home and they were off for a photo shoot. Tom let's see some pics of your 'shooters' tongue.gif

Who can hook me up with some FM decals for my truck?

I past on him Tuesday he was under a apple tree and I walked right up to him at 20 yards and drew my bow back and It just was not right. I like the hunt and that was not the hunt so I let him walk and pasted on a big ten point in my stand there are a lot of nice bucks well good luck on your hunt I have all my does so I am waiting for the big guy-?? Hope I get the shot shocked.gif.

Tom that's good you passed up the ground shot. It's tough to do but it's right (for those who don't know all shots fired must be from 12 feet or higher off the ground within city limits). I'm hoping for bigger...alot bigger and I know they're there but if one of those two walks by they are doomed. I think it'd be neat too since I have a pic of each while alive and that'd look nice in a frame by the shoulder mount. I'll get a big boy and so will you. How big can we go though before it's all done? I don't want to eat my buck tag. You should bring a digital camera with and turn off the flash and sound and try to get some pics.

Here's one that turned out dark even though I used the flash. It was still plenty light to legally shoot if I had wanted to just didn't turn out. You can kinda make out his rack though. Just a little guy.

      i cant help you with the weed thing, but i just came back form out that way......Regal, New London Hawick area. i dont no how big the swat of rain was but there is water standing everywhere. my buddy told me they had over 3 inches of rain yesterday/last night

      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
