I can’t believe how light of a trigger some of you are hunting with. I’d fire before my crosshairs were settled with some of your rifles. Especially with gloves on. Around 4 pounds is good for me. Maybe I’m just tougher and more handsome than the average hunter 😀
I’ve shot one buck and a couple of does with a bow from the ground. As I get older I’ve been doing it more for various reasons. Ghillie suits may seem ridiculous, but I’d consider at least the top. A mature whitetail buck is arguably the most difficult animal to draw a bow on. Drawing from the...
All my experience rattling has been in low density deer areas. Like others have said, I have found it to be effective for small bucks, throughout the season. I often wonder if my setups are wrong and the bigger bucks are catching my scent before I see them. I think in agriculture areas someone...
Wisconsin turkey camp is in full swing. Part of my bird from Saturday was just used as fuel for my Fort McCoy hunt that starts tomorrow. As much as I poke fun at Wisconsin, the driftless area is gorgeous. It’s become one of my favorite spots. I got a bunch of maple syrup from an Amish house that...
College hockey tournament begins today. Every year the analysts brag on the Big 10 teams but, NCHC teams continue to dominate the tournament. Will this year be more of same even though the Big 10 has a funding and recruiting advantage? Hopefully Duluth can eliminate 2 Big 10 teams on their way...
I must’ve seen different videos of the Pretti shooting then some of you. It is illegal to carry a concealed firearm while committing a crime. Pretti was participating in criminal activity prior to being shot by impeding law enforcement, encouraging a vehicle to drive through a blocked off area...
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there currently a 67/67 split in the MN house with the DFL having a majority in the senate? Requiring bipartisan support to pass anything in the house and DFL support in the senate. Then it would have to be signed by a far left governor. Hard to blame any...
Interesting find. One would hope Twin Metals will be much more generous if the project ever gets legs. Mineral rights are complicated, and once politicians get involved…..
The jobs would be filled by local workers. Plus all the additional construction jobs done by local companies. Communities would benefit, schools would benefit, and other local businesses would benefit. Money paid for mineral rights would benefit the area communities. There would be a select few...
I’m going to speak on this as someone that loves and frequently uses the BWCA multiple times per year and I’m also familiar with the Polymet and Twin Metals projects. I’ve mined on the very property of the proposed Polymet project. Ultimately folks need to decide for themselves how they feel...
