Looks like we just got a new crop of MN's other state bird last night. Right about an hour or so before the sun went down we were swarmed by a fresh batch of skeets. Thanks a lot, glenn!!!!

hey....you dont think i know when its time to get out of dodge!!!!!!!

Gunner55

NO, not according to your wife!!

glenn57

yesterday got an email from the DNR regarding burning and more restrictions. so as i read it both at the cabin AND here in cold spring you can still have a campfire as long as it is in a contained fire ring????? of course if its gail force winds i'm smart enough not to burn, but is this how everyone reads the new restrictions????????

Jerkbiat

That is how it sounded on the radio this morning when they were reading it.

I thought if it was in a fire ring at a cabin or home you could still have a campfire.

odd, but you do need to sign up for those emails..........but still a person has to completely not watch the news or listen to a radio to not know about some of the restrictions.

glenn57

ok, so i went back to that email and reread it 3 more times............it does look like you cannot have a fire even on private land IN a campfire ring, and looks like both here and up at the cabin.

BUT why are the reservations not included??????

pretty sure those fires dont care where the boundries are?????

glenn57

ok so i looked at the map gunner posted.......that map is for burning permits.....to me it looks like maybe i can have a fire at home........

Jerkbiat

You are still good at home the way I read it.

No open burning – Campfires restricted
Open burning and some campfires are newly restricted in Clay, Douglas, Grant, Kittson, Marshall, Mille Lacs, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, Sherburne and Wright counties and the western portion of Roseau County, excluding tribal trust lands. These same restrictions remain in place for Aitkin, Benton, Carlton, Lake of the Woods, Morrison, Todd, and Stearns counties, the eastern portion of Roseau County, and the southern portion of St. Louis County, excluding tribal trust lands. Under these restrictions:

No campfires are allowed for dispersed, remote, or backcountry camping on all lands.
No campfires – with or without a ring – are allowed on any DNR-managed lands. This applies to all campsites, cabins, picnic and other day-use areas. Camp stoves are permitted.
On non-DNR-managed lands, attended campfires or recreational fires may be allowed in established fire rings associated with an occupied home, cabin, campground, or resort. Check with the site manager for possible additional restrictions.
No fireworks may be ignited on any public or private land outside city limits. Check with the local community for any additional restrictions.
The state will not issue burning permits for brush or yard waste.
No open burning – No campfires
All or part of 14 additional counties are also subject to these same restrictions on fireworks and burn permits, plus all campfires and recreational fires are banned, prescribed burning is prohibited on private lands, and the use of welding devices and other torches is prohibited when in proximity to combustible vegetation. Counties subject to these additional restrictions are: Becker, Beltrami, Cass, Clearwater, Cook, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, Koochiching, Lake, Mahnomen, Otter Tail, the northern portion of St. Louis and Wadena counties, excluding tribal trust lands.

In these 14 counties, campers must take note that in the backcountry, and at campsites, only gas or propane camp stoves are allowed. Gas and charcoal grills are allowed at occupied homes, cabins and resorts. Charcoal and gas fires must be in devices designed for grilling.

Recreational fires are also barred on DNR-managed lands in Pope County. This county is not subject to the other restrictions on non-DNR lands listed above.

Glenn, found out yesterday that my brother's property is right next to little bowstring lake south of Marcell. Heading there Saturday.

Gunner55

Had to look it up JB, that's just off Co Rd 38 it appears & is ~ 30 miles SE of us. We usually use MN 46 when we head to GR & DR. We're just ~ 1/2 way between 46 & 6, just off Co Rd 35. Not far(2 miles) from the NW PA on big Bowstring. Would be

to have a little GTG sometime your in the area.

never been on that lake but heard if you get fish they are nice. Guess it's a tough lake to fish. Safe travels.

I have also been told to stay on my side of hwy 6.

but I do sneak across it now and then

Forgot to mention that we have some famous company over at the resort that showed up late Tuesday. He's a guide & has his own TV show. He went out

Wednesday AM & came in ~ 3 that afternoon. Neighbor seen him wiping down his boat after he pulled it & asked the new owners of the resort what was going on. They said he went over to another lake so he could catch enough

to make a show.

Hope they got a discount!!.

Gunner55

Heard a drone flying over at the resort ~1 Thursday so the guide's camera crew were probably doing a photo op of the resort then. No sign of their rig by early Friday so they must've had somethin going on back home.
