Here Fishy, Fishy

 

Ice fishing is upon us.  The cold arctic air that has moved in has turned our soft water to hard and the ice fishing season is officially under way.  Scott and I have been out the last few nights chasing walleyes and had great results.  Tuesday night we were able to catch 13 and last night we were able to catch another 7 or 8.    

Last night the temps dipped to -5 degrees making it very hard to keep our holes from freezing up.  I do have one 6.5'x14' permanent house out and plan on getting others out soon.  Waconia has 4-8" of good clear solid ice on the whole lake.  The only open spots are where the geese are keeping it open.  I will keep everyone posted on how the bite is going.

Scottie and I were hard at it again last night.  As you can tell our hard work paid off.  The walleye bite has been pretty good after dark.  Good luck, be safe, and fish on!

Take'm Down Seth Jones!

Seth, Nick, and I had a great day on the water on Sunday morning.  The ducks were plentiful and so was the fun.  The divers are starting to show up in large numbers.  I am headed to Iowa for the weekend to hunt roosters and then onto Bull Shoals Arkansas to fish.  Just can't get enough of the cast & blast in the fall.  I will get something up when I get home.  Good luck to all!

Huntwithmatt.com "Buck Down"-Shane R.

Back from a great weekend of deer hunting in southern MN.  As you can see both Jeremy and Shane were successful in there quest for a whitetail buck deer. 

My luck wasn't so good.  I saw some small bucks on opening morning that I let walk for a future chance.  "Let them go so they can grow", was my attitude for this deer hunting season.  Sat evening I did see one nice buck chasing a doe, but was not comfortable with the shot through the heavy cover so I held up.  My biggest concern was possibly wounding the animal and not finding it.  Sun morning I sat in stand again but did not see anything but squirrels. 

I would like to say thanks to Shane for inviting me down to hunt on his property.  I also want to say thanks for putting up with all of us for two days.  All together I think there was 8 of us that made the venture to deer camp this year.  There were four deer shot and many other passed up opportunities.  The property we hunt has some giant deer on it.  We have proof in trail camera pictures.  Of the giant bucks that we got on camera over the last two months neither of the two bucks taken were ever photographed. 

I am now going to be focusing my attention on bow hunting in Wis, and the upcoming slug season on Iowa.  Shane get your act together, we need to be going to Iowa to scout.  We have giants to shoot.  Then we will be ice fishing!!  I will keep you all posted on the upcoming adventures. 

Shane Raveling with a nice MN buck.  You can see that the one side of his rack broke when he went down.  It was really to bad cause it was a pretty nice deer.

Iowa Bucks 

Shane, Joe, and Myself were all successful in our hunt for Iowa bucks.  We did not harvest any monster deer but we were able to shoot some real nice bucks and have a very safe and fun trip.  It was great.  I am already preparing for next year.  Here are some pictures of the bucks that we harvested this last weekend while we were down there.
