Thanks Steve I appreciate it! I'm alright nice thing about editing is you don't have to show all of the missed shots

Thanks it was fun! Hopefully it'll freeze over again this year

Honestly one of my favorite fish! Some people might be put off by the Y bones and the slime but I honestly prefer them over walleye even. Brook trout is probably my favorite table fare though

Wow that's a first!

Haha and we had Mille Lacs to ourselves could you believe! Thanks Ty hope the winter is treating you well

So far so good! Getting out with my daughter when the weather allows it and chasing some flags

Happy to hear it!

Thanks Tom! I'm trying to haha

Haha thank you! You're right not many places like it in the world

when you come up north give me a shout!

She's definitely 50/50 with the retrieves. I tried hard when she was a puppy! She just didn't have the crazy drive to retrieve. Also my first dog so I'd blame myself. She has always got ducks in open water though and I think she's damn near perfect with everything else she does but I'm biased lol. Yessir I have some newer shotguns but always seem to keep grabbing the old Model 12 out of the safe

Haha they are a fun bird to chase! Hope you had some luck deer hunting

Damn right haha!

An old Model 12

She sure can Ty! I'm lucky

It was a great trip!

Springtime that is the main run for fish on the North Shore. There's a small fall run too but I don't know anyone who fishes it

Is there any good trout fishing up there during December / January? I’m returning to MN and want to winter fish

You could always ice fish for trout. There are designated trout lakes stocked with brookies splake and rainbows. Also there are lake trout lakes. The first that opens are trout lakes inside the BWCA Jan 1 I believe. Outside the BWCA opens around the 15th of January. I'd have to look at the regs to double check.

Shhh don't tell the DNR haha

What lake did you think??

@ Brule and Wench.

Go more East

Haha just opening weekend, unpressured grouse in the middle of nowhere!

Thank you! I couldn't agree more, I love this country up here. A deer is always a bonus. Goodluck getting that swamp buck!

Appreciate it! It sure is, you got to work for them up here haha!

Thanks Tom!! Bad winters paired with tons of wolves in the area have diminished the population. I only saw wolf and moose tracks this fall. Hopefully get some snow and see if there are any deer at all. Have a great thanksgiving too!

Heck ya! Thanks Ty, have you had any luck?

I don't deer hunt anymore, used to go at my parent's place outside Moose Lake but don't have them anymore so lost that area. Decided to do waterfowl instead after that addiction started coming on strong this year.

I got ya! Not enough time to do everything! Wish there was haha. Sucks that we really didn''t get to hunt much of the migration this year in northern MN.

Thanks Tony!

Hey, sorry can't put my favorite grouse trails out on the internet. But, if you get an app like on X and look for old logging roads or atv trails on public land out off the beaten path you will find birds! If you have any more questions I'd love to help and put you guys on some birds. What area of the state are you looking at hunting?

I don't really know... Long story short my friends told this breeder I'd take a puppy, I had no idea, picked her up the next day lol

Thanks Tom! Yes, been seeing some woodcock usually they are south of us by now but flushed some again this weekend.

You know it lol!

Appreciate it Tom! Ducks were on LOTW

Also that poop might be an otter toilet. Typically black and full of fish scales and crayfish parts (depending on what they've been eating).

Thanks Ty!! I appreciate it and I think you are spot on with the otter. That was exactly what it looked like.

I run into a handful of them from time to time trapping beavers for landowners. You're welcome! Glad to see you and Harper out getting after it this Fall!

Thanks I appreciate it! That is definitely a white tailed jackrabbit though. Much bigger than a snowshoe and I don't think there are any snowshoe hare in South Dakota where i was hunting this trip.

I love it! Always fun when you recognize a place from film. I love that neck of the woods

You mean the resolution is low quality?

She is a springer spaniel!

Haha we sure have! Been too hot to grouse hunt very much! Hope you're still getting on the birds

I just like watching Harper try to manhandle a goose her size back to you haha. I got on a nice WI woodie jump shoot yesterday and a bonus ringneck drake and have been hunting the FDL Reservation the past week

Love to hear it keep it going!

Thanks man I appreciate that! Yes, I do

@@hoganinthewild8468 sweet. I live in Duluth. Let me know if you’d ever want to get out hunting, I’ve been getting on ducks pretty good this year in our area.

Hell ya man glad to hear you've been getting on some ducks!! I'll let you know! It's my first year really tackling waterfowl solo a bit so I have a lot to learn.

@@hoganinthewild8468 I’m learning as well, I’ve done it for the past two seasons and have just started being more successful this year! I’ve got a canoe and a good amount of decoys. Not sure if you ever get a WI license but there is some good water right over the border.

Appreciate it Tom! No it's all public

Yep! It has been very noticeable over the last couple years that a higher majority will tree immediately. One guess I have is that they only notice my dog and not myself so they feel more comfortable?

I'll have to show the setup one video! Best of luck and enjoy the cabin!

Thanks Tom! She's been spoiled with extra treats lately

Haha for sure! I honestly wasn't sure if she would get that goose or not. Was definitely happy when she pulled the goose to shore

@@hoganinthewild8468 gotta be the biggest thing she's retrieved there! You'll enjoy the goose meat for sure!

For sure, already ate it! How'd you do?

Limit of wood ducks, 2 teal, and a coot for the opener weekend on brand new bodies of water that I'd scouted. Next week will be trying out some areas above HWY 210 until the central zone opens up again.

That's awesome!! Congrats

She does great early season but when the leaves fall she starts to wander a little bit. They are special dogs that's for sure! She's got me a lot of birds and if I was a better shot we would have a lot more haha. Thanks for the comment

Appreciate it! St. Louis County

Public land. Fortunately, northern MN is full of public land opportunities. I appreciate the support thanks for the subscribe!!

@@hoganinthewild8468 very cool! I live down in Georgia and read we have very little grouse here. We got a bunch of quail down here but much easier to hunt on managed private land.

You have some access to some good spots then I hope. I have never hunted quail but always been on the bucket list. Especially Mearns quail in the southwest!

@@hoganinthewild8468 quail is fun. They’re a ground bird like grouse. Highly recommend you look into guided tours with you if you don’t mind spending some moolah. It was like $300 per person for 4 hours but great experience if you have kids or family you want to introduce to it. Great eating too

Theres times when she's a good dog and times when shes a great dog! Hunting as hard as she did in the 80 degree weather she was being a great dog haha

I mostly just run 7 1/2 or 8 all season long. Whatever i can get my hands on. Sometimes 6's. Not really dependent on the season. 6 could be probably argued for early in the year to push through the cover.

Appreciate it Tom!

We sure are! You getting out for duck opener?

@@hoganinthewild8468 hopefully at my first beaver permission property! Was out there for teal and saw dozens of wood ducks and mallards flying around.

Heck ya! Good luck

@@hoganinthewild8468 appreciate it! Hopefully the grouse woods continue to be fruitful for you this season, looking forward to your videos.

Thanks Ty! Hopefully I'll catch her again one day!

Hopefully so! I just caught my first and second ever lake trout out on Superior with Happy Hooker, so I feel the addiction

Awesome! Love to hear that!

Thanks for watching Tom!! I appreciate the comment! Definitely a special place.
