With my setup on my 20 guage 45 would be tough but could be done I think. For sure 40 yds but man it's a killer. The last 5 or 6 birds with the 20 have not even flopped. Still like having the big cannon here and there but like Don said above, i'm carrying my 20guage on more hunts.

You can buy the tag that you were drawn for. If you want to get surplus you will have to wait till March when those go on sale.

Guessing in a couple weeks. Last Friday was the deadline.

Just getting nice out, I can deal with cold better then heat. Keep the ice fishing around as long as we can. I was fishing into april just north of the metro last spring. Older I get the more I like having winter around. Couple more trips to Red and just local fishing left. Devils in March still .

one more day

This Friday MN are due for A or B

WI is completed, season E for my group.

Scout scout scout. Trail cameras even for turkeys can be great tools. Learn the hunting property the best you can. Being a better woodsman will take more birds then the best callers. I have harvested a lot of birds just cause I knew what they wanted to do and how to move around my land. With my job I also hunt the afternoons until the weekend. I might go into work late one morning just because I love that morning hunt with the woods waking up. .

Still time ,Jan. 25 deadline for lottery of Season A and B. Can't wait for spring but have a lot of fishing to do :)

Either way works , i cook up a 20lb prime rib a couple times a year. One for the last night of fall ball with a bunch of Highschool buddies. We have been do this for around 20 years now. They sure turn out great I just slow cook on the grill at the ball field . Now i'm starving for some prime rib ,chessy tators man what a great meal.

That's the way most falls go. I was able to get out and put a gobbler down this fall. Went out just for a bird since I knew where they had been going in the morning. Got to the woods just after fly down and worked my way to the area and heard them talking a bit. Gave out a few yelps and had them running to me. Most years I never get a shot only have taken a handful in the fall. I was in a woods that I was not worried about ruining for deer.

Hoping for MN A season, just applied for WI E season. Our annual WI trip. I will pick up a season C also in the leftover tags hopefully if time allows. NE archery only for the first couple weeks and SD .

Congrats Wanderer I also pulled off a yearling last night for our land owner who wanted a young deer.I was see deer most the hunts but some small bucks and most years I would of shot but I have one in mind and still will be after with the bow. This was my last weekend for Muzzy heading to LOW this weekend. I will get out with the bow but sure was nice to get the Muzzy some work. Second year for this gun and tried some different ammo this year and worked great.

Now that's a great hunt. Love the story

Had this happen last year it was the ducer cord was cracking. At times I would see the jig and times it was gone and depth would jump. New ducer fixed it all. It was only 60 or 70 at joes in st.paul.
