Great pics, thanks for sharing. Black bears are so much like big dogs, all about food.

Why is this game not on a local free channel? Unreal

Might fish the Mississippi River opening weekend around Elk River here. Heading north the Wednesday after opener. Either Outing MN or Lake Vermillion, haven’t decided yet.

I use a cotton net that my dad bought in the 60s. Doesn’t split the fins, easy to untangle.

Life will go on as usual here in Minnesota. Unless you’re retired and glued to the TV. The Middle East has been a mess for thousands of years.

KC wins… shocking

Regular cab with an 8ft bed for me. All I’ve ever owned and will in the future as long as they’re available.

Nice gun, weedis. I’ve got the same one minus the scope, open sights here. What type of powder are you using that you had a mishap? I use white hot pellets.

178 here also, Mark. Just north of Meadowlands. Definitely agree with your assessment.

Thank you, appreciate the info

I’m near Elk River MN. Gotta be close to a month without measure able rain here. And of course today with the system moving through, we didn’t see a drop.

I agree Biggill, Dutch feels extra special tonight

Watching the weather here as well. I hunt near Cotton MN. I also see a cold front around opening day. I sure hope so.

Barred owls are the only owls in Minnesota with dark/black eyes.

Ebners in Elk River was a great classic bait shop, unfortunately closed now. Current picks would be In Towne Marina, Delaneys, and Wayside Corner north of Cloquet.

I’d imagine once the resorts open up for vehicle traffic, some reports will show up. But I agree, very quiet on this ML forum

Looking forward to the “regular” 20 or so posters on IDO for this one.

Dutch with his head in the sand…no can’t be, lol. Sometimes he should just stfu. But he’s a member of the good ol boys IDO club

Roosevelt is not a lake to mess with early ice, even the upper portion.

For somebody that supposedly doesn’t care, you sure seem to chime in Dutch. Two cents at a time

Did Jesse Holmes race this year?

Thanks for the tips guys

Thanks guys

30″ from Mille Lacs. They do exist

Welcome back, riverruns. Aka, Shawn

Bottom line..Red Lake is a zoo. Social media fans the flames of that dumpster fire. But hey, more quiet ice for the rest of us.

I figured. Thanks, glenn

Sounds good, Joe. I was more curious about Roosevelt to be specific. It’s a deep lake

Walkable ice up there, EPG?

A few years ago there was a looker working the bar in Outing, EPG. Back when it was The Narrows. Heck, I remember when it was a one story shack called The Bridge.
