Please pinch me... are we really only 1 week away from opening of gun season and only 5weeks away from early ice fishing on Lake of the Woods cant be true can it?

judging from the weather i dont know about 5 weeks til early ice... it could be 75 and sunny by then for all i know

My shack is still hanging from the garage rafters. Took the boat out yesterday. Two fish.

Up around the border it very well may be 5 weeks before ice.

I normally look to fish LOW around the end of Dec. the ice is thick enough to drive a truck on. Earlier then that I worry about Ice pushing and not getting off the lake. 3 years ago we went out, only to have the ice push, it took the resorts 5hrs to cut through the ice wall that was 7ft tall.

Well nov has come and gone as well pretty much dec. Are deer trip to upper north east missouri on the iowa border was pretty good. I saw 8 deer but not 1 ever gave me a good broad side shot so I got skunked for deer season. My buddy got a nice 9pointer hunting over the river bottoms in the stand I wanted to hunt from.

And then there was ICE the ice gods smiled upon us and we where some of the 1st guys out on several local lake's in upper mn the ladies let us out of the house from 9dec-16dec We fished blackduck 6" ice,uppper red 8" ice, and lake of the woods 12" ice. We landed a couple big pike 4 jumbo perch and nice limits of walleye and sauger on almost every day. To many fish frys to count! You have to love early ice they say its some of the best ice fishing for a reason. Im headed back up to Illinois to go ice fishing almost every other weekend they have close to 4" of ice on almost all of the northern il and southern wi lakes. If anyone from missouri wants some tips on where to go ice fishing in IL send me a msg your only 3-4hours away from some fun on the ice there is nothing like walking on water. good luck to all.

Where do you stay when you go to LOW? I'm thinking about at least one trip up there this winter. Do you stay at a resort or motel?

Just got back from deer camp.....I was able to get a 6point buck not a monster but it will make some nice sausage. After not getting a deer last year I was pretty ancy and took the 1st one I saw. Which was a good thing because I didnt see another deer the rest of the week.

1900le....we go to Riverbend we have all our own gear... but for the LOW trip we take the lazy rout and just use their hut and have them do all the work its a lil more relaxing. Charlie the owner is a real nice guy and hes done us right every time. I know they have some of the cheapest rates thou if you wanted to bring your own gear and stay at one of their cabins. This will be are 4th year 10th trip with them.

I'll check them out. I've got all my own stuff, so that's not an issue. I just need a place to stay, cabin, motel, doesn't matter. Thanks
