About a year ago I hired a cleaning lady once a month is it has been the greatest gift ever.

Over covid thy quit making the winchster bullets I shoot for my Ruger 7mm. Switched to Horandy 138 grain and it shoots them very well. Has been a very good bullet for m.

I have two of the jumpers one dedicated to my boat and another for hunting.

My wife wanted a heavy rod for casting for northerns we paired that with a piscifun purple Carbon X. Reel has been really good. Nice drag to fight bigger fish. I would definitely get another one.

I have a vast selection of stuff and the two things I appreciate the most and our easy to overlook is an otter sled and on of the small battery packs that can jump a car, a nice tow strap. just some ideas.

Centracare here in St Cloud required it for employees and a ton refused and left or were fired. THey are so short staffed in certain areas now.

I used to work for them and had to get 2 vaccines. The side effects were like a really bad hangover. I actually went home sick one day. Nurses and other staff left in droves and took other jobs. They actually called in the national Guard. Centra Care uppers were seen on Walz daily updates.

I have since left in the last six months and couldn’t be happier. I have noticed a lot of changes as they get bigger and are no longer the same company I signed with a decade ago.

On our way to Canada we stop in Black Duck at Timberline and pick up one last lure before we head into Canada.

captain Musky what part of lake of the woods do you fish? I had an older lowrance with a lake master chip that showed more detailed maps then the newer bird. Really like those old lake master chips.

Pail of Perch how far west of Cushing do you hunt if I may ask? I grew up in that area. Lots of good hunting in zone 214.

The Stearns county sales tax did pass.

Zone 214 for me also east of Bertha.

For you that are voting in Stearns county it is for a new county Jail not a prison. The jail was built in 1985 and either way we are getting a new jail. If you vote yes it will be a small sail tax increase. Otherwise if it does not pass the burden will fall on the land taxes.

Had this picture lastnight on trail camera pretty sure it’s a bobcat. Picture is Central MN.

A lot of bars planned their girls day out for this Saturday thinking this was the opening of hunting.

Snowing at the office here in Wait Park covering the ground pretty well.

Yes it Was St.Cloud who ever it was gave me a heads up so I was able to stock up ahead of time. Also they are having their ice fest this weekend so they are mostly ice fishing stuff now.

What a great story Bman glad the boys are alright. Will you have them out in the stand in the next coming weeks? thinking we should get them together with my son next summer for some fishing.

Scheels had changed their stuff over the week of MEA. They keep a small supply of stuff year round but I doubt it get restocked. I got lucky and seen they were changing over and got mine ahead of my trip.

The gophers Have been more competitive then I thought they would be. Koi has been fun to watch. I wonder over the next few years if they will incorporate him on offense.

Central MN here we usually see multiple a year when out hunting. They will show up on the cameras over the year. As the snow piles up and the deer herd on our land more show up along with other predators.

Oregon started this trend and was a huge recruiting tool for the school. I am a fan of the black uniform and the all white uniform. Koi the freshmen looks like real deal hope we can hold onto him for all three years.

I have a couple friends who we have gotten corn from over the years. But they are over an hour from St.Cloud. Kind of a pain in the *ss for them. One is a good friend so he will do it for us. Perks of having friends that. Also get my Beef from them also.

I remember the 2020 storm because they were taring my road and the steam coming off thee road was crazy. By deer hunting I think it was all melted. We shot some nice mallards in that snow storm.

We launched out of Morson Ontario stayed on a private island. Fished the Canadian side. B man looks like the boys had fun.

Returned from LOW in just over two days of fishing three of us boated 225 walleyes along with some bonus crappies and perch.

My son spends countless hours a year with me chasing turkeys, duck hunting and deer hunting. He is 8 so just getting the taste of chasing a turkey himself. He just loves being out there and loves helps cleaning fish and butchering whatever game we get.

I spend Most MEA chasing the fall walleye bite and this fall I will b taking my son to LOW on the Ontario side. MEA was always a time to go to our land and spend time fixing our stands and riding 4 wheelers. Now with the early season it limits time we can be in the woods and riding around not wanting to spook deer for the neighboors. We do not partake in this hunt but finds it is nice for us as more mature deer usually show up on our property after this.

Fun show to watch. Just looks like a bunch of buddies out fishing and having a good time. good watch some really nice lakers.

Was it just me or was the NFL coverage terrible. Not replaying that penalty on the punt till after the drivee? seemed like they only highlighted rogers? Lots of terrible camera angles.

Friend was on Lake Miltona today and he had 58 for water temp.
