I was stationed up in Grand Forks for 9 years. I definitely spent time on Devils. Woodland has a good reputation and will put you on the fish. Late May, early June were my favorite times to go, when the walleye were spawning. You could have days you you pitch cranks in 2-4 feet of water and...

I wouldn't mind a couple more months of ice fishing!

Except football, baseball, basketball, hunting, and etc.

Im in the market for some new boots. I already have some rubber 1400 gram boots that work well when the temperature drops, so I'm looking for something I can wear early and hopefully into the rut. What do you guys recommend and why?

12" around DBQ and the Mississippi backwaters.

I haven't been out yet. The weather this month hasn't been very nice to the ice out east! On top of that, I'm recovering from Dec 5 back surgery. Hopefully I'll be out in the next couple of weeks.

Yup ignorance isn't an excuse.

They could be non residents. I know it's up to the Hunter to read and know the laws of where they hunt but, too many people rely on word of mouth, whether it's right or wrong. I lived in ND for 9 years. If the land wasn't posted, legally you could hunt it. I agree with the above though...

Right now it's between the LX6 and the Lowrance Elite 5. Marine General out of Duluth has them marked down to $450 with a $100 mail in rebate. They look to be very similar except the Elite 5 is $250 off right now. hopefully we'll have some ice again soon!!

100% agree!!

I pulled the trigger on the Jiffy Pro4 Lite. Looks to be a good unit especially for $399! Next thing to buy is an electronic unit. Im leaning towards the Marcum LX3, but I keep hearing good things about the Humminbirds, Showdowns, and Lowrance Elite 4. Id like to keep it in that price...

Awesome deer!

Do you guys ever have problems with the propane cylinders freezing up?

I sold all my gear a few years back when I moved from ND to Indiana. Had I known that I was going to end up in Iowa, I would've kept it. My FL18 was awesome, but it's too much to buy twice! Looks like I'll try the Marcum. Not really sure where to fish around DBQ, but I'll give it hell trying...

Thanks Hillwalker. I wasn't sure if the LX3 had the zoom or not. That's an awesome feature to have. I'll probably go that route unless someone sells me hard on the hummingbird flashers.

I've looked into those. After doing some research sounds like the 4strokes can be a real pain in the ass with leaks and what not. Price wise, the Stikemaster chipper looks interesting, but I'm wary of all the plastic the stikemasters use. I don't need top of the line, but not looking for a...

Whats everyone running out there? I used to have an old Strikemaster Mag 2 stroke. It was a heavy sob and Im not a big fan of having to mix gas. Anyone running 4strokes? I was leaning towards the Jiffy 4g Lite but wanted to get some opinions.

What are your thoughts on deer jumping the string more from someone shooting from a blind compared to a tree? I assume that it's louder with the echo of the shot. Never really thought about it until this year when my brother shot over a booner and I also shot a deer high because it ducked the...

For those who have the infrared suits, is it too much heat for hunting mid October when it's mid 50's or so?

When is everyone seeing the most activity? If I didn't have a bulging disc I'd sit all day but I'm limited to 3-4 hours at a time. I sat every evening last week and only saw deer 2 of those nights. Would you guys rather hunt say 10-2 or something like that? Dad duty has me locked up in the...
