First archery deer. My 4th season hunting with a bow and finally got one. Ive passed up many does and small bucks over the past couple years, holding out for a nice buck. This year my area finally allows two deer so I didn’t hesitate to stick a doe as soon as I got a chance! PUMPED! 20yds double lung, went about 50 yds. Whole different experience than shooting a deer with a slug 
thanks guys, yeah i googled it but theres about 100,000 recipes to choose from! 
I’m sure it will be good anyway its cooked
I’m all for the 2 lines and agree a lot with mossydan. Just because you can use two lines doesn’t mean everyone will use two lines every time they are fishing. Ice fishing I rarely use two lines but having the option to use two, well thats awesome if I want to throw a tip up out or something. Same with open water. In most cases I see my self throwing a bobber out then casting a rapala if its slow. Or jigging for walleyes when Im catfishing. It would be nice to have that option. Theres will always be the ones that abuse the resources, 1 line, 2 lines or 20 lines..
Hwy 218 south from Austin to Lyle. BAD. Lots of deeeep potholes, it takes a beating from all the trucks going to the ethanol plant.
very nice! I’m looking online and it only shows a couple camo patterns, what pattern do you guys like best? I see they have the digital FLX which looks good for all around.
thanks guys. Yeah pretty much looking for some lighter shell type rain gear that will work for fishing and turkey/bow hunting. the gander mountain stuff looks like what I want. Is the h20 from gander pretty quiet?
I’m in thanks!
The maps are online as well. Here is a link to the southern streams, shows all the regulations and other info too. Just click on a box and that map will come up with the PDF. Looks like you could get to a few streams in an hour and half.
Really getting the itch now!! Been watching it for ten minutes and have seen about 20 fat girls swim through. Lots of suckers too
This guy in Anoka does. Buddy and I just built a couple spinning rods in a class of his. He does ice rods too. Nice guy
nice skins
Yeah I though I saw you drivin by. buddy of mine got a few beavers out of the creek down there this weekend
Couple P4 sturgeon. Lake is from the spring, shovelnose from fall
can you do the same with an ipod touch?
Nice shrooms!! Here are a few I found during the last week in the Whitewater area and also some spots south of Austin. We found one cluster of 24! Im back in Mankato now, hoping to get out for some before it gets too late. Get out now!
Those are a couple pigs, congrats!
Thanks everyone. Yeah she must have been spawned out, she was too skinny to be full of eggs. Would have been a heavy fish if she was still full. I wish I would have had my hat the right way, and sunscreen on, I got a NASTY sunburn.
Wallster- we put in at bay pt and fished a few dif spots from there up to the dam. Mostly draggin jigs, anchored up a few times. That spot seemed to be producin the bigger ones
Nice load of fish! Makes me hungry. Some great lakes up there. I fished a lot of the lakes around frederic. Had good luck on little round
Congrats on the 1 year! You should be dam proud of yourself!
I’m on day 13 without a dip and I’m feeling great. It sure is nice not to have the cancer in a can controlling me. Its getting better and better every day. I chewed for 3 yrs. I tried quitting a few times before, but the problem was that I wasnt quitting for myself. I quit because other people wanted me to quit or it seemed they wanted me to. This times different, plus I’m a member of an online quit group and that is really helping. Okay thats enough about my story.
I plan on buying a GPS with a Lakemaster chip in a couple months with the money saved. I have already saved over 40 bucks! Anybody wanna hook me up with good deal???
If you are thinking about kickin the chew, head over to Kill The Can 
I’m 20. Born and raised in Austin, MN. Moved to Mankato late last summer for school and here I am…who knows where I will be after school
Im 20 and been dippin for about 3 yrs now…been really thinkin about quittin lately. I came across a website that has a lot of helpful info. A live chat and all. Also a calculator to figure how much money you have saved since you quit…it really adds up 
kill the can
YES! I can wait, its gonna be a great time 
Thanks for the replies guys! I’m gonna go ahead and replace it when i get a little time. I’ll post back when I get it fixed. thanks again 
I have heard there is about 5-6 inches on most lakes. The bobber shop in mankato on riverfront would be a good place to find out about ice conditions.
you better keep that secret spot on the hush hush bob!! haha…we got a lot of fishin to do when i get back to austin. Nice pile of slabs im sure they tasted great too 
I fish out of a scout most of the time so the buddy works best for me, the mr heater cooker just heats the scout up way too much. Fishing out of anything bigger than the scout, then I would reccomend the mr heater cooker
I second the buddy heater they are great. I too have the problem with the wind blowing out the pilot light and have thought of makin a mod to eliminate the problem. It would be nice to hear what others have done or a picture of it
yeah a .22 would be the best bet. maybe a 410 but you would probably still be pickin a lot of bb’s out when your eatin it.
