FL ===> MN! Can't wait to get out in the wild up here

[FourPines]

We just purchased a nice 10+ acre piece of land in Nowthen. It sits at the intersection of Pinnaker Lake and my neighbor's private lake, lots of wooded area, pasture, field, and grass unlike where we are from in Florida! We have tons of wildlife on the property already captured on my cams including deer, pheasant, duck, geese, fox, turkey (haven't seen any yet) . We spent Christmas break trail-riding, shooting clays, and playing in the snow on OUR land. Our little slice of heaven.

It's our first hobby farm, I've never ice-fished, and the deep cold is new to us (even though I grew up in PA). I'm going to have LOTS of questions! I've got big plans for feed plots, deer stands, and duck blinds!

You better get a snowmobile soon before the snow gets 5 feet deep and you can't get out of your buried house for food! 🥺

  A great bunch of guys here. Fire away, I'm sure someone will try to answer it for for you. Maybe a couple others with a little too!

[Steve-o]

Good for you guys!  Close enough to the city...  Closer to the county...  Best of both worlds. 

[Bobberineyes]

FourPines,
Glad you found us. Fire away with questions because we always have answers. 

[Dotch]

Welcome! Sounds like a great spot you have and sure you'll enjoy it. As was mentioned, ask away. If we don't know the answer we'll try to make something up!

Welcome to the mix.  Good bunch here.  We all know it all and we all think we are the funniest.     

[FourPines]

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Leech, I had enough foresight to buy a Polaris ranger with the full enclosure heat etc and a snow plow on the front! Had it sitting on the property when I got here! I knew moving in in December was going to be tricky.

Welcome to Minnesota.

BTW, it hasn't been cold here yet this winter. Almost tropical in fact.

Yup, so I'm told! It was nice to get a blast right before Christmas while i was there. I'm back in FL for a bit for my daughter to finish high school. This is my view today

Not fair.  I cry foul play.  You are not allowed to post pictures from a sunny warm place while we are sitting here in the fridge.

My buddy up there took my son out on our big lake (Pinnaker) this weekend. Caught one sunny in the first couple of hours of drilling and moving, then hit a hot-spot and ended up catching upwards of 40 fish (a mix of sunnies, bass, and crappie). The also sprung more than a dozen pheasant and a couple of quail on their way to the ice.
