Hello,

I am new to hunting, I just got my firearms safety last April but do not know where / how to hunt. I do have a 12 gauge and a .22. I live in Mankato, MN and have heard that there are lot of good land around here. It would be nice to have someone to hunt with. My friends are not into hunting.

Thanks

G

Gaurav, you should post this in the Mankato forum because you would more than likely be able to get a response from around there. Good luck, if possible, you might be able to contact a nearby sports club to see if there is anyone who would be able to hunt with you too.

I do both just day trips and weekend trips. The IN-LAWS live in Blue Earth so i usually start there and than head to Iowa usually about an hour to hour and a half drive from Blue Earth to Iowa spots. Safety is always the most important thing while i hunt. I have taken buddies hunting in the past and have never let them back cause of concerns. There has to be trust among those with a weapon in hand. Care about dogs and each other is a must. This year i will be headed down to Iowa for just opening morning, need to be back to Blue Earth by noon or so. But i will be headed back to iowa throughout the year. sometimes during the week other times on the weekends season runs til Jan. 10 license costs about $95 for the year.

a day here or there for upland ducks are hit and miss when i can go. i have never been i the field opening day in iowa for more than two hours. and that was with four guys 12 birds. i would be surprized not to shoot a limit by 11:00 lots of corn still up i'm sure but that will be good for late season birds. If your interested in iowa give me a call. 651-295-5110 Brad

      Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
