Thank You 2400 for your service and for keeping the veterans and current warfighters in the forefront. Your statements are iron clad truth and I share them in abundance. I appreciate what today represents and wish to Thank those who take time to consider the sacrifices of the servicemen and...
I don't like pushing the block under the ice. It reduces my visibility when the fish come in and I can't lift a whole block of ice out of a hole so I bust it up into basketball sized chunks that I can get out with my scoop shovel. When I'm done I just knock the chunks back into the hole. An 8...
I drill holes close together and then bust the ice between the holes out with an ice spud. A saw would work better when the ice gets thick, but I managed to cut several holes in 2+ ft of ice without one. It just takes a little longer. Have Fun, but I must warn you!! Spearing has been known...
Screw you cock'a'roach!!! How dare you blemish our time honored traditions of bashing each other on the eve of murder and mayhem where each of us can, and does, complain, point fingers, argue, criticize, and try to utterly destroy anyone who hunts deer different than we do while simultaneously...
I'm the VERY LAST person to ask when it comes to why the ND game and fish does what they do!!! I haven't the foggiest idea why the Friday noon opener exists. Though it was a great excuse to get out of school for the day. (Grin)
If it was me, I'd block the view of the plot with tree tops and other brush. Shouldn't take more than a few hours to drag enough brush to do the job. Then I'd put a blind right in front of theirs facing them with a camera inside. When you get a hit on the camera and see someone hunting, go...
Thanks BBJ. Yeah that pistol IS a bunch of fun to shoot, but you not only have to hunt the critter, you have to hunt the right shot where there is enough light, the right weather conditions, few obstructions, a stable hold, and a stationary target. I would have liked to have a rail to rest the...
Yeah huntinforfish, I heard there were lots of folks having trouble all over MN finding deer. I've talked to 6 different groups that hunted areas from Waseca to up by Warroad and they all said the same thing. Very little moving and very little shooting. Guess we just got VERY lucky.
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...
The 5/8 inch plywood is a typo. It's actually that 5/16 or 1/4 inch stuff. I can yank it around myself pretty good, but wouldn't want to drag it very far. Really good stuff here guys. I've got some decoys being shipped to the house and then going to DM for painting so those I have to wait...
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...
