I’m a little behind this spring of getting out and scouting. I usually make a trip down to NE ahead of our hunt and run around WI ,Mn getting some scouting in. I have been able to check some MN spots out and pull some lifelines and take stands down while scouting but still have more to do. Seeing a lot of sign this spring on my Northern areas.

I already obtained permission to hunt 3 properties in late April (MN) with a shotgun. I was going to make a trip up there to scout pretty soon but the weather the next 10 days or so changed my mind. The landscape is going to look a whole lot different in a few days, so I’ll wait.
Lol now they doubled up. Removed a few doubles.
It’s going to be my first hunt on my new bow. And I can’t wait. But first I have to get my son on one. The way the fields have been loaded with birds it hopefully won’t be to hard to make it happen
Out pulling cards this weekend and scouting. Man some really hot birds right now just going on there own and lighting up the woods.

Is that second picture a pine marten? Pretty neat.

I think its a fisher. Looks bigger than a marten.
Definitely a fisher. I had never seen one before and then my son texted me and said Dad, there is a wolverine coming your way while we were deer hunting. I said, they are pretty much non existent here anymore. Sure enough about 5 minutes later it walks right under our stand and I took a pic and googled it. Fisher. Man they have nasty claws!
That makes a lot more sense. Still pretty neat.
Yep fisher we have a lot of them. Did have a guy out trapping them but the last couple years has not.
They almost look like an otter but have thicker fur. Similar in size though. And it would be somewhat rare to see an otter cruising through the woods.
I bet I saw 200 birds this weekend driving around, with lots of them strutting. Still not sure how you guys don’t get one easily! 
Seeing a lot of torkeys out in the fields right now. Big groups of Toms too.
This time of year, the Toms and Hens mostly run separate.
One of the farms I hunt had 30 plus birds in it yesterday after work.
And same with a field about a mile down. Both fields corn was cut earlier this week.
