Ice Report

November 27, 2012

Midge Lake and Little Wolf are frozen over.  It is making ice, but remember to be safe.  Froggy went out on Allen's Bay yesterday on Cass and said the ice out there is about an inch thick.  I don't think the big part of the lake is frozen up yet.  I see the north bay, off of Isle of Pines Resort on Big Wolf is frozen over now.  If we continue to have the cold nights, another week will make a big difference.

We are still marking inventory and stocking shelves, trying to get everything ready for safe ice.

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving weekend.  We had lots of good food and a great time with family.

We woke up to about 3 to 4 inches of snow this morning.  Weather is turning cold and making ice.  Froggy has been busy working on his spear houses and getting everything ready for hard water!

We received our inventory order on Tuesday, so we are busy pricing and stocking shelves with everything . 

We had some people buying muzzleloader licenses today.  That opens up tomorrow, for 2 weeks.  Good luck hunters.

Stop in when your in the area and say Hi.

Happy Thanksgiving!
 
November 20, 2012

Wanted to wish you all a happy and safe holiday weekend.  We will be spending Thanksgiving Day at Froggy's house.    He really does up a meal of good food and it is always great to be able to spend time together as family.  We will be missing Jerimiah this year, but he will be coming home for a 10 day leave on December 22nd, so we will be able to spend some time with him for Christmas.

Our big summer inventory order should be arriving either tomorrow or Friday.  Then we will have lots to do to get things marked and put out.

Kalvin Hughs won our big buck contest with his 262 lb buck and Ribs Whitebird, won our doe contest, with his 124 lb doe.  Congratulations!

Again, Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Big Buck Registered

Calvin Hughs from Bemidji came in this morning to register his prize buck.  Calvin had spotted him yesterday, but couldn't get his shot.  After a restless night and no sleep, he got his shot off this morning.  The buck weighed in at 262 lbs field dressed, with l7 points.  Calvin is the owner of Buck Stop Taxidermy in Bemidji.  Congratulations Calvin!!

Deer Hunting

November 7, 2012

There were a few more deer registered today.  Yesterday was quiet.  Rainy and windy and the deer weren't moving.  (Hunters weren't moving either!)

Biggest buck we weighed went 231 pounds.  A dandy buck shot by Jeff Baird of Cass Lake.  We haven't seen many does, but that's on lottery this year.  Bucks are in rut and there is still 11 days to hunt yet. 
Froggy and his kids got their deer for this year.   Crissy won the prize with a nice 10 point buck this year.  Way to go girl!   Froggy has a couple more days to finish up a job in Motley and then he should be around for the winter.  He will be getting his fish house rentals ready for the winter season.

Good hunting and stay safe!

Deer Opener

November 3, 2012

I thought we might have a coating of snow when we got up this morning, but no such thing.  Opening deer hunting seemed to go well.  We have heard lots of deer being seen and  hunters have had a pretty productive day.

We even had a couple guys in for bait.  Seems like walleye are biting on Cass in about 8 to 10 feet, along the weed lines.  The guys were using rainbows. 

So all in all, it was a pretty good day.  Weather was great, hunting and fishing were good.  What more can you ask for!

Stay safe!  Good hunting and fishing.
