Upcoming Sawyer County dates and events

[snoozebutton]

They close on the first Sunday in March which unfortunately is March 1st. The closing date is inclusive so you can fish until midnight Sunday. I've had some luck this time of year in deeper water, 30 to 40 feet. Grindstone was particularly good last year at this time for walleyes on the edge of the larger bars and they did move up shallower after dark.

Here's some other upcoming dates that might be of interest.

snooze you get a turkey tag? Got mine on Weds and my son got his this morning.

No, I didn't put in this year. I probably should have, I've been seeing quite a few around our neighborhood this spring and almost hit a big tom with the truck 2 days ago.

Hope you and your son have a good hunt!!!
