    Anyone else getting excited for hard water?

    This summer my son bought a old hand auger at a garage sale. He was super proud of his find and excited for it to be put in use....Not sure how many more inches of ice i want to try to cut through with that thing though! Would have gladly put in the extra cash for a old gas auger....

    What I learned about CWD after 17 years of direct involvement

    Woulda been great had you just stuck to that from the beginning. Everyone than could have responded "no chit, welcome to the forum" and moved on. Seeing as you just joined this forum recently, and immediately decided to run your mouth, i would say "stupid mode" was always your intention.

    What I learned about CWD after 17 years of direct involvement

    I'm not quite sure what part of your history counts as "direct involvement" but much of what you are saying about baiting, hunter involvement and deer farms, and your thesis in general runs contrary to the words of a actual, white lab coat wearing expert, Bryan Richards (link below), lifelong...

    I can see how that might sour your taste for ice fishing.

    Anyone else getting excited for hard water?

    I cant recommend a specific source, but like all things hunting and fishing, dont get lost in all the equipment. Keep it simple. Maybe a couple medium weight poles, a auger (good deals can be found on FB marketplace for older gas and propane powered augers), some slip bobbers and jigs. The best...

    Anyone else getting excited for hard water?

    Last year was my first year really getting after it. Outside of the rods, one of my best purchases was a Garmin Striker 4 with transducer kit. very affordable and works great as a fish finder both on the ice and on my canoe/kayak.

    Anyone else getting excited for hard water?

    Nice! I'm in southern Minnesota, near Mankato. We picked up some tip ups last year but never really get them out to much. I can get suckers, but may have to try that hot dog trick! Will be getting all the ice fishing gear out of storage this weekend and making sure everything is set up and...

    Southern Minnesota. We should have enough ice to walk on within the next week or so.

    Anyone else getting excited for hard water?

    I grew up fishing, but always saw it as something to do "once in awhile" on a hut summer day and never took it as seriously as hunting. That all changed with the arrival of my oldest son, Jack. By the age of 4 he had graduated from all things Dinosaur (as many boys do) and became obsessively...

    2019 Wyoming Pronghorn Wrap Up

    It took a bit to get him used to the idea hunting on public land, but once we got out in the field and he saw how actual little hunting pressure there was compared to Minnesota, he loved it. He's hooked now; a yearly trip to Wyoming is on the books as long as he has the strength in his legs to...

    2019 Wyoming Pronghorn Wrap Up

    Not exactly a timely post, but thought I'd share our Wyoming Pronghorn success this year. Headed out to Unit 9 on 1 point split between my dad and I. It was the 2nd week of the season and on the exact day that big snowstorm blew in from the Rockies. Fortunately we were hunting a bit farther...

    Is the Hunter Nation non-profit the real "Green Decoy"

    https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/464226-raffle-offers-deer-hunt-with-modern-day-teddy-roosevelt-donald?fbclid=IwAR02daHSb4e7_U9fCUhiWR_r8q29KOx49W6LrBQn43-GxpSFbzArOOG_v4M I had never heard of this non-profit until today, but a couple of my non hunting friends pointed them my way...

    Attractions in Wyoming/SD

    If your wife loves chocolate as much as mine does, make sure to swing by the Chubby Chipmunk in Deadwood. Their chocolate is pretty amazing. While there, have dinner at the Deadwood Social Club. The Smoked pheasant is one of my required meals whenever i am in the area.

    Dozens for Dorian Hurricane Relief. Fueled by Fly Fisherman.

    When my good friend, Josh Mills saw the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian to the fishing communities of Abaco and Grand Bahama, he knew he had to help. As is all to often the case, the best help can come from the smallest, but inspired gesture. Josh sat down at his fly tying table, tied up...

    Wyoming public land - mobility?

    Without having the specific details on the mobility issues your fellow hunters will be facing, i can say that in 2017 my dad and i hunted Unit 7, only 12 days after he had a heart attack. He was on very strict doctors orders for not lifting more than 20 pounds and not walking more than a few...

    Red flag warnings

    I would only add, BUT does have the stomach to continue to watch its children die by gunfire, but your recommendation for mortuary investment pretty much gets that across.

    Chris Brackett Sentenced Yesterday

    I once asked him through a online conversation what "evil" he is "not fearing" in the woods. I was generally confused, as after spending most of my life in the woods as a youth hunter, 19D Cavalry Scout for the Army and as a Forest Service surveyor, I never observed anything evil in the woods...

    Anybody a wildland firefighter?

    Go take the S130/190 School. That would be a good start in really knowing if you want to do it and it will only cost you a few days of vacation time. Than see if you can take a fire season off from your normal career, and join the rest of the mostly seasonal fire fighters on the fire line. I...

    Can we learn to live with wolves again?

    This. Some folks in Montana and Wyoming act as if wolves came down from Mars and made first contact with them only. Not exactly new to the landscape.

    that's a dandy! I've seen very little mature buck movement around Mankato where I hunt.
