Walleyehooker Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Any idea on how busy or how many people line up early Friday morning to get in ? Last time I was there I drove up each day but this year I will be bringing a wheel house to stay in. I could get there early but not sure I want to spend the whole day there.

Bear55 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 The line will be LONG by 6am Friday. Yep get there early. I live pretty close so I will be driving, plan to show up late and hopefully not have to wait too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapcrackpop Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I talked to the guys near the front of the line and they said they lined up at 3AM. We lined up at 5AM and were half way down motorpool road.One of these years they are going to send the "early birds" to the end of the line again.

Black Bear Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Been doing Ripley for years and no they do not send the early birds to back of the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleyehooker Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Its says on my papers NO lining up or parking on the side of the road before 5 AM but I suppose this is hard to control or they just let it slide. I think I will still wait and go a little later rather than wait in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmellEsox Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 They definitely have sent people who were early to the back of the line! I wouldn't push your luck. Beau will do it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky hunter 82 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 we're not too worried about getting in the front of the line since we have not been up there before, hoping to get to a spot just as it's getting light out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapcrackpop Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The guys I talked to said they were sent to the end of the line once about 7 years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Talked to some guys who were sent down a road by the river, after a while they let them get over into the main line. They didn't sound too happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat-Run Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Bear55 and others can you guys give us "second-weekenders" an update during the weekend or Monday, can't wait till November 2nd to see how much activity is going on.thxMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yep I will report back on Monday, hopefully I am posting pics as well. Not too optimistic because I know the realities of hunting this place but with a little luck it could happen and it should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleyehooker Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Do they have anywhere to get coffee in the AM there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Do they have anywhere to get coffee in the AM there? Check the packet you got in the mail, there might be something there but I can't remember. Might have to bring your own or hope someone with camping experience chimes in, I live semi close so I just drive in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleyehooker Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 I see the MDHA does an evening meal like they did for the youth hunt. Is this just on Friday? Or Saturday to? Just trying to plan what to bring for food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NELS-BELLS Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I got a text at 5:24 AM this morning from some buddies that are hunting it and they said they are 7th in line. Not sure if that is outside the gate or inside.Nels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
