they don't happen to own the place up the hill from the store do they??? I tend to stay away from the fence area, they have it posted pretty good.

If your talking about the place that had junk everywhere and no trespassing signs by his driveway. He said they bought that a few years ago I believe. I drove in there a few years back, scary. Big dogs and signs everywhere. Haven't been back since they got it.

[glenn57]

Yea think that's one of the places. I was thinking the one with the big pines. When we'd come in from hunting I would drive by real slow to see how many deer were hanging. Some years the did good others not so much.

Catfish like sunnies and bluegills.  Down south where it is legal they even use them for catfish bait.  They fit in the catfish's mouths perfect.

From Hill City north on your side of the road there was a little in the ditch & the edge of the woods. Record highs up here today, GR had 72* & Bemidji was reporting even higher. HH here was out on the driveway.

  I'd be willin to bet that this is 1 of her favorite weekends of the year & that she stays home on this weekend just about all the time.                              

[glenn57]

Don't bother me what she does. She's not having issues what I'm doing.

The neighbor & his kid were up Friday so I went over to say hi. They said that they'd just seen on FB where the resort had finally been sold. Health concerns for her was the major factor from what I heard.

So no deer for the green retired guy eh? see anything glenn? you need to hurry,bang you're buck,get back on mno to protect yourself,the natives are restless.

[Gunner55]

   He's used to it snow , if'n we were all nice to him while he was gone he'd probably think we were all really PO'ed at him.  Besides I've tried that & it doesn't work!!

hey all you fellers that live up in the northland, have any of youz driven by any smaller lakes lately??? is the ice forming? when i left the cabin last monday morning it looked like the whole lake was iced over except the deep hole across the lake where the creek is. not sure what the temps or wind could of did after i left??

i just looked at the geigers and williams narrows cams, there is some ice on the narrows cams and was actually surprised what i saw on the geigers cam, appears there is ice on bowstring as far out as i could see??   

[LPS]

The river is pretty much frozen shore to shore.  There are still some open spots but they are pretty small now.  The bays on the lake are frozen up too I have read. 

[Gunner55]

No chatter on Nextdoor about ice up on Sand yet & it looks like there's a lot of open water to the west at the Narrows but that gets hit by the NW wind pretty good along with the current there it probably freezes up kind of late most seasons, I would think. Geiger's wouldn't work for me the 1st couple times but I finally got it to go & it almost looks  like there's a good sized spot of open water not far off their shore. Really hard to tell with the angle/glare of the sun this time of day though.

[glenn57]

just checked the cams, looks like they got a dusting of snow up there and there is definetly ice on bowstring. look like the narrows made ice too in areas from yesterday!

[glenn57]

by the looks of the cams, it made some ice up nort!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

The lake assoc. has kept track of lock up on Sand since it began & from I remember normal for us is ~ the middle of December. Seems like there were a few years where it was the end of Nov- early Dec but not many, more years where it was a bit later as I recall. I'm sure it's been cold enough up there, now if only the wind & snow leave it alone.

[Gunner55]

  Checked it out on the association's website & according to that the avg ice up since '95 is ~18 or 19th of November.
