    Conibear Traps and Zip Ties

    My answer in the tools thread, but I though important enough to share on its own. Conibear Traps and Zip Ties I have had the extra-long zip ties for many, many years (I suppose almost 10 years now). Couple of points ... make sure the plastic zip ties have not become brittle with age. Keep...

    Well ... SW MN is a little depressing

    October is supposed to be hunting grass and edges. Too much snow too early. All the prairie grass is laid flat and it is a tough walk. Saw very few other hunters. Not one public spot was occupied on Saturday, October 24th. The spots we stopped to look over, glass, and/or walk ... not...

    Interesting USDA article. Farmers aging as fast as hunters. Haymaker maybe surprised but I come from a pretty rural and very farm based ancestry. It is interesting to note that of all my relatives by birth and marriage, I can count two that stayed on the farm with their parents...

    Big Blue Stem

    I have been hunting across a broader range of Minnesota the past week to 10 days. I have not visited some of these areas for a year or two (maybe longer). I have noticed that the Minnesota DNR has gone crazy in planting huge areas of big blue stem grass in most of their "managed" WMAs. In...

    Not So Sweet (Sweet Clover)

    Most of us that hunt pheasants know that patches of sweet clover can be a pheasant spot to check, but that said ... I was hunting an area of MN that used to be really good for me years ago. Not a core area, but can be good. Had to shorten the drive to make the day work. To my dismay ...
