Post hunting time usually fills up quickly for me. Between gymnastics, wrestling and other events, the kids' schedules keep us busy. Outside of that, weeks like this keep us hunkered down, feeding the fireplace. Looks like the weather will break next week and I can get out to set some snares and...

What a great post to start 2024! There are a bunch of things I can think that would be considered a resolution of sorts but I am going to make an effort to focus on a couple core items. 1. Work on focusing efforts on being thankful for what I have in life. Im healthy, my family is healthy, wife...

Thats awesome! Hopefully you can get one in daylight hours! I havent had activity in 2 weeks now.... Going to keep throwing the fridge at them and see what happens. We have a month to get it done!

I am in the exact same boat.... no activity in a week now. They have started chopping corn so hopefully that will push them back towards the bait. Good luck!

Looks like we are through the latest heat wave. Curious what the next couple cool nights will do for the activity. Its been pretty slow this last week.

Thats a dandy! What did that one weigh? Looks to be above the MN average?

My plan to hunt with a bow for now!

Any other MN bear hunters on here? This is my first year giving it a go after waiting 5 years to get a tag! Almost more exciting seeing the first bear on camera as it is the first big buck of the year. 4 days till opener!

Like RICMIC, I also got married the 6th of October. When my wife picked that date, I informed her that it was waterfowl opener that year and that I would be going hunting in the morning. Her response was "as long as youre at the church in time for pictures, have at it!" So me and my wedding...

2022 Hunting has been tough so far. Took the year off from western hunting for the birth of our third child. God is good! Been focusing a bit more on whitetails around home than I usually do. Rifle season was the worst (its never bad) Ive had in my 20 years of hunting in terms of number of deer...

I took this year off from our annual elk hunt due to having a kid this fall, so in turn my training became a lesser priority with a new born. Now getting back into the swing of things, hunting whitetails and preparing for trapping, and predator hunting, I remember how fast your "shape" goes...

I picked up a TC Compass in .223 last January. Nice little gun to have around for coyotes and other critters that desire. I was also gifted a Henry .44 for my birthday earlier this month! My wife has expressed interest in wanting a new rifle, so i might look at getting her something she can take...

Saturday? Or did you weather the hurricane winds we had all day sunday? I only seen 2 deer all day yesterday, both were bucks, cruising.

Thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated.

These are all details and questions that are yet to be ironed out. Causing some questions for concern as well. Like Malllardsx2, this is also the sellout/retirement plan of our owner. Generally, it appears that if our retirement stay the same and separate it should be a safe option for...

Any of you fellow outdoorsmen familiar with ESOP? My company is transitioning to ESOP this year and while it seems to be all good, a few of us have some reservations. Mainly due to lack of knowledge on the setup and how it works. I understand that the details of each particular setup will be...

Done!

Been able to sneak out a few times with the family on the hard water and catch some fish and make memories when the weather is too cold to chase bobcat. My kids are 3&5 and really enjoy spending time in the fish house. Im headed to Mille Lacs lake in Central MN this weekend. Hope we can find a...

I joined this forum a few years back, (2016 i think) to try and gain knowledge and insight as I was fresh into western hunting. This forum has provide feedback in more ways than one, for which Im extremely grateful! I have made a point to keep working on my knowledge base for hunting rolling...

My wife has shown interest in venturing out from our typical whitetail hunting here in MN, specifically showing interest in Bear hunting! So im kicking around the idea of putting together a spring bear hunt in Montana. My initial thought is somewhere outside of grizz country. I dont have any...
