    What's a "Jumbo Perch"

    Some friends and I had a discussion about what it takes for a perch to be labeled a "Jumbo". I have been asked about Jumbo perch many times and to this day I'm not real sure what that means. I myself think that any perch that is 12 inches or longer is a Jumbo. However, the requirements vary...

    Fish Preferences??

    I was sitting in the spear house discussing fish preferences with another spear fisherman and the question posed was this...."Would you rather have ten 2 pounders come in or two 10 pounders?" Which got me thinking about fish preferences in general. Now I would rather have the two 10 pounders...

    Valley City Ice Report

    WE DON'T HAVE ANY!!! Went for a drive with the Mrs. today to look at some lakes and saw just as much open water as we did ice. Hobart, 50% open, Sanborn 30% open, Moon 50% open, Fox 30% open, Eckelson 30% open and what's not open looks like thick slush with a nice "Frothy" topping. For you...

    Weather Calls.........

    Hey fellas, got up this morning and the radar for ND looks nasty. However, radar can make things look worse or better than they are. We have freezing rain here in Valley City and I can't even walk on my deck. Driving may be treacherous already. Just trying to give folks a heads up if you...

    NOT so big MT Mulie Down

    I just returned from a MAGNIFICENTLY SPECTACULAR hunting trip to Montana with Kickemup and I hope he composes his own thread on his experiences as I don't want to steal his thunder relating my own story. We spent 7 days in the beautiful Montana mountains and another 5 days in the more prairie...

    Papa Smurf had a REAL GOOD WEEKEND!!!!

    As many of you know, I was in Minnesota for the opening weekend of rifle season to hunt with my 77 year old Uncle, my Dad, my Brother, and my Cousin. We were in an intensive harvest unit so we each could have an either Buck or Doe tag and a bonus Doe tag so we had potentially 5 buck tags and...

    Gator Giggin' Shack Accessory Advice...............

    Well I finished my first permanent ice house today. It's a 4 X 8 X 6.5 spear shack, but it's just a shell right now. It's 2 X 2 construction walls, 4 X 4 runners, 3/4 inch plywood floor with 2 X 4 support on the spear hole edge and the middle of the remaining floor with 5/8 inch plywood walls...

    BRAVING the MN Deer woods this weekend!

    I'm going to join the accursed ranks of THE NONRESIDENT HUNTERS for the MN Deer opener this coming weekend. In my arsenal of safety gear I've got my helmet, flak vest, armored underwear, some converse high tops, and a fur lined jockstrap. Hope it's enough to keep me safe. I'm torn on if I...

Grouse and Partridge seasons are only a month or so away and Doves are right around the corner. I've been taking Herc out the last few days for 2 mile walks on section...

    Definition of "Giant" and "Monster"???

    I've been watching some hunting and fishing shows over the weekend and I don't quite think those boys that make them shows know the meaning of "Giant" or "Monster" when it comes to Whitetails, Walleyes, or anything else for that matter. Since when does a 140 inch White Tail or a 7 lb walleye...

    Pike Spearing Questions???

    Took up "Gator Giggin'" this past winter and discovered how much like bow hunting it is and had a blast doing it. So much so, that I bought a spear and built a spearing house. I have scoured the Youtube Encyclopedia and have a couple questions for the spear guys. First, is it better to use...

    ATV Trailer Length??

    With the purchase of my new ATV and hauling it back to the house in the back of an 8 ft truck bed, I realized I'm probably going to need a trailer not only for convenience, but for longer hauls. With the tracks, I figure I'll need at least 12 ft, but would like to know if anyone has some...
