The Report

With the cold and the snow many hunters and fishermen are changing their tactics for the season. Ducks in the north seem to be gone, Grouse hunters have moved to the pines, deer hunters are getting stands ready, and fishermen are readying their tip-ups. Ice is near and we can't wait.
I have pretty well wrapped up waterfowling and am starting to chase whitetails. Pretty slow results with the bow so far but I'll keep trying till the end. Never know, with a little luck rifle season might be good too.
First ice will be the big attraction of the year. The crew I fish with is beside themselves with anticipation. Eary ice is what we live for and I know the walleye's aren't far off.
For now we'll hunt deer, with thoughts of ice in our heads.
