Wonder how his drive went as it was FOGGY as he!! here early today. No way I'd have wanted to drive 3 hours in that soup. I see where LPS said it was kinda foggy there too.

[Rebel SS]

Hope the li'l feller made it OK.

[Gunner55]

Just checked my webcams up there & it looks kind of foggy there too. Bet that was a long drive.

[mike89]

he used his smurf fog horn!!!   

[glenn57]

well that really sucked, furnace wouldn't go. so I came home last night and drowned my sorrows. driving in that fog till it got light also sucked.

when I got up there had to shovel a big drift to get in but once past that easy peasy. I walked in the cabin and found a thermo couple and other little parts I assume where thermos couple parts laying on the floor in front of the furnace. there was a screw driver still laying on the propane tank. I spent 2 1/2hours on and off trying to get the pilot to light. no go. l had no idea what he did. so I packed up and headed home. I did get all my stuff i left up there home. 

[mike89]

aw ya just missed us all!!!   

but really that sucks........

[Rebel SS]

Holy crap...that REALLY sucks the big one. Sorry to hear that. You guys need to stay in touch on the cabin better.....just sayin'. Would have saved you all that mess.

[glenn57]

What a bunch of  . Figured the drive up sucked as we went to Mason City before 8:00 yday & I bet there were a lot of spots where you couldn't see 100' on the Ave of the Sts. Didn't realize he tore the furnace apart. Thought he knew how to fix it, huh? Then leaves it that way & don't tell anyone! Bet that MGL tasted good last night. 

[glenn57]

oh it did...……...and for dessert a couple of vodka OJ's!!!!!!!!!!

[Rebel SS]

Attaboy!!! 

[Gunner55]

Looks like it's about to start up there. Radar showed it closin in but couldn't see anything comin down on the webcams yet.

I have a question for all the smart "up nort" guys.             Not you Glenn.       My buddy asked me if a person can bear hunt and deer hunt at the same time. I would think bear bait would be considered hunting over bait although deer wouldn't be attracted to it.

well for starters, the first 15-16 days or so the bear season is open archery season is not. after that not sure????? I don't use a bow to bear hunt. and iffin i'm out looking for bear I have no interest in shooting a deer. besides I think dat deers and bears, oh my, don't really get along?????????

[Steve-o]

I didn't see anything explicit in the regs about shooting deer over bear bait.  However, this is what they say about deer baiting...

Definitions
• Bait—includes grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, hay, or other food that is
capable of attracting or enticing deer and has been placed by a person.
• Baiting—means placing, exposing, depositing, distributing, or scattering
bait that is capable of attracting or enticing deer.

I would certainly think that anything you legally put out for a bear would fall into the category of what was illegal for deer.

Is my garbage bag full of day-old doughnuts capable of enticing a deer?  I don't know, but I'd hate to have to argue with a Conservation Officer that is isn't.

No, It is considered baiting deer hunting over bear bait. That was actually one of the ask a CO questions that Lee put up awhile back.

[merc]

I missed that question. Thanks for the answer, I thought it would be that way but was not positive   .

[LPS]

Yup anything that is attracting them with any type of food is illegal bait.  I have gotten pics of deer eating my bear baits.

Just checked the webcams & the ground is white over on Cutfoot but it doesn't look like there's much more than that. Still snowing lightly at The Narrows & the 1 on Bowstring isn't working.

[Gunner55]

Geiger's camera is back up & the ground is completely covered. It doesn't look to be much more than that though, kind of hard to tell. 

[Gunner55]

Could see rain drippin off the roof pretty good over at Geiger's already before 7:00 this morning. That should speed up ice out a bit.  Not as easy to tell how hard it was raining over at the Narrows . The ice on the west side is disappearin pretty quick the last few days though.

[glenn57]

from what you can see gunner.........how does it look for snow left on the ground???????????

[Gunner55]

All I see over by us is very little right in front of their deck/porch on the office & out on the ice on the north side of their ramp is kinda white too. The ice the other way(SE) looks a look a lot more gray. The other camera shows maybe an inch or 2 along their north facing shore line.
