    Hunting Dog Injuries

    She turned out way better than I had hoped. The eye is a little out to the side, (mainly the third eyelid) and she she did lose a little vision but can still see out of it. It did not effect her nose one bit (:D), and she still has her drive to hunt. Overall very lucky!

    Hunting Dog Injuries

    I have had German Shorthairs for 30+years, you always have injury issues with hunting dogs, it just happens. I had the worst one two weeks ago and thought for sure the outcome would be the worst with hopefully just a lost eye, but with the work of a great vet and a dog that let us treat her we...

    Used cell phone

    I have replaced both kids phones (sons twice) and wifes by purchasing newer phones on facebook marketplace from individuals. All have been great transactions and way under the price of new. Just got my son an iphone 8s (?) for $150 in like new condition. Make sure that it is with your current...

    White Hot Powder??

    We talked about this also, we went to pellets about 4 years ago just because of ease of use, but are contemplating going back. I have never used Blackhorn 209, but may give it a try?

    White Hot Powder??

    My brother in law and I both decided to switch to these powder pellet this year along with putting a scope on the muzzleloaders, what a mistake! We both cannot hit the broad side of a barn with them, no consistent groups and some shots not even hitting a two foot square and this is shooting...

    Carrying a gun in vehicle...

    Actually in MN you can have your rifle uncased in the vehicle as long as it is unloaded and nothing in the magazine. At least during bear season it is so I am assuming it is for other seasons as well.

    Fun Experiments?

    When I taught science the kids always loved the osmosis lab, I was into edible science. When your local store gets its meat in it usually comes with dry ice. Get that from them, place it in a cooler, cardboard on top of the ice and seedless grapes on top of the cardboard. Close the cooler and...

    can someone explain the logic behind this

    Another twist to think about, every year when you review the hunt data there seems to me that there are more and more people who get a tag that don't hunt. Maybe it is to assure those "tree-huggers" who draw a tag still have to pay the fees? I know that this happens because I have had that...

    Minnesota Bear Baiting

    Bear are really hitting the corns this year. This field has about a 150 yards of trees between it and a marsh and they are really hitting it hard. Set cameras on a couple trails and am really anxious to see what and how many are feeding here? The stalk they left must be a "GMO" stalk that...

    Minnesota Bear Baiting

    I know that feeling, our largest so far was 304 on the scale shot by my son the first time he went with at age 14. The was by far the most fun bear hunt I have been on. I have a newbie with this year so it will be another fun year. Stories around the campfire can keep you laughing, especially...

    Minnesota Bear Baiting

    Heading out in the morning to set out baits, it will be a sleepless night as I love the baiting almost more than the hunting.

    Minnesota Bear Baiting

    Started hunting the public land the first four years, got to know some locals and now have become good friends. We now stay in a hunting cabin of one of the landowners. About half the baits are on private land now, but still bait reliable sites on public that always produce bear. Found out...

    Minnesota Bear Baiting

    They are hard on bird feeders in the area we hunt. We hunt the No Quota area, that way we can hunt every year and there doesn't seem to be any shortage of bear?
