Hi,
My name is Harry Marsh and I have been a hunter and a fisherman all my life.  Turned 70 this year and am slowing down due to age and a really bad auto accident 21 years ago.  I am mobility impaired but am still doing as much as I can.  I reside in Pensacola, Florida and will celebrate 50 years of marriage next march the 8th with my beautiful wife.  Hope you all can put up with this good ole boy from down south!

Welcome Harry.

I am sure you will enjoy the site, and also you will probably enjoy the stories we will all tell from our fishing and hunting experiences in the midwest and abroad!

Heck of a nice buck you got there in your avatar! Are you sure that's a FL deer?

Hi Everyone, I'm Janelle and I'm a newbie. Found my way through Outdoorsman388 and have decided to get involved in this website.

Few things about me. I love the outdoors in the spring, summer, and fall however I'm not much for freezing in the winter. (although a heated fish house works) I love to fish, boat, hike, camp, BBQ, 4 wheel, attend bon fires and of course, kayak too. I've never tried white water rafting but would like to give it if the opportunity ever comes up. I guess you could say anything related to water, sun, and fun is in my book.

I plan on checking the fishing reports quite a bit and hopefully I'll find some good tips, good locations, and possibly some friends along the way.

Good luck on opener:fishing2:,
Janelle

[Retired on Osakis]

Hello everyone! Real name is Tim. Recognize some of the names on here from other sites. I'm an old guy, 62. Been retired for a few years. As you may have figured out my location is Lake Osakis. Been on 8 or 9 other sites over the last several years, some good, some not so good. This one looks like a definite keeper. I am using the same name so some of you may have read some of my posts. I think I will enjoy it here. If anyone is interested, the ice hasn't started forming on the lake yet, shouldn't be long now. I'll keep you posted. 

[MTCOMMER]

 

Osakis is a very beautiful lake, been there a few times - also been to downtown for the shopping!  Great to see you on the site, and welcome to MNO We look forward to hearing from you!!!!  As always, if you ever need anything, never hesitate to ask

This is a nice forum you got here.  I found it while looking for info about this year's Eelpout Festival. 

My name's Ben.  I live in the cities and hate it.  I love fishing for big stuff like muskies, sturgeon, flatheads, etc, but I don't mind if occasional walleye jumps on my hook either.  I also love ice fishing.  In fact, I probably love ice fishing more than any other outdoor activity.  As of now, it's only 65 days and about 21 hours until the ice first feels my weight. 

I also like waterfowl hunting, coon hunting, deer hunting, rugby, and lifting very heavy stuff.

Welcome, and what part of the cities?  I'm in the west metro.

 Hello all i'm new here looks like 6h 20 m old lol.
 Well my name is Steve i go by slystuff on here because ii just finished reading an article on fox trapping on another site and that's what popped into my head at that moment.
 I used to be on fire for hunting and fishing then I got married but that didn't change much as she was into it too; then we lost about 5 babies (long story 4 another time) and decided to try foster care/ addopt.We did foster care for a sibling group of 5 from 6-13 yrs. and after 2 years we were able to addopt them and a few months before that we had baby # 1 which yeah that made 6then a yr and a half later # 7 came along and amazingly 12 monthes later my beautiful litle boy Micah john James came along  sorry emotional anyway he came 3 weeks early on oct 13th 2010 but is healthy thank GOD! Work has been off and on  mostly off so money is very tight in my house, and unfortunatly hunting and fishing don't come first anymore; If i want to buy things and believe me I do i have to pinch and save and hide money no more just going window shopping seeing something I like and taking it home with me(paid for of course) so yes I stay at home a whole bunch and I'd only be kidding myself if I said that I'd trade it for anything.
  The big problem that I have is that  grew up hunting and fishing and love it but the way I was taught I think has something to do with how I teach my kids a total lack of patience on my part so i will no doubt  be looking to you guys and gals for insight in the future as my girls and guys want to hunt and 3 of them are of age and one will be soon;and i for whatever reason haven't made it work for them yet and I feel so horrible for it....ok my story here is blipping back and forth and i can't see the bottem of it any more so it must be too long;and my two fingers are getting tired anyway so -so long for now

[deadeye]

Welcome to the site.  Maybe talking with the folks here will get you back into fishing and hunting.

[slystuff]

I apoligize;I still fish and hunt just on a smaller scale still love both just have a young beautiful wife and a young family I go to work for a break lol And I get away with going most of the time when it dosn't cost too much..lol yep whipped I am.

Hi, My name is Chris and live in Wahpeton, ND. I fish mostly the hard water (not much for the motion of the ocean) so that is where most of my winter time is spent. Hoping to learn alot form this site and meeting a bunch of fellow hard water lovers.

[DDSBYDAY]

    You came to the right place.

[kcarder]

Well I have resisted because I hate doing the introduction stuff but I suppose it is only fair that I participate.

My name is Kent.  I moved to St. Paul from Oklahoma after a divorce (Oklahoma wasn't big enough for the both of us)    almost 6 years ago.  I met a great girl here is St. Paul and got remarried last September.  I have been a hunter and fisherman since I can remember.  Since my introduction to ice fishing, 5 years ago, I now think that I would rather ice fish than open water fish.  As far as hunting goes I prefer upland birds to anything but I also deer hunt some.  I have three Gordon Setters that I hunt with so that pretty much occupies my hunting time until rifle season comes.  I grew up hunting quail in Oklahoma and it is still a one of my favorite past-times when it comes to hunting.  Anytime I am not fishing or hunting you will likely find me either tinkering/building something or flying. 

I joined here because I thought that it would be a good place to gather some info on fishing in Minnesota that I haven't learned yet and to meet and have good conversations with like minded folks.

My name is Travis and I live in Southwest Minnesota. I am currently going to school at Southwest Minnesota State University for my bachelors degree in Ag Business. I LOVE to hunt. Been doing it since I was 4. I went through a dozen bb guns by the time I could start shooting shotguns and rifles! I hunt everything but I am an avid bow hunter as well as goose hunter. Also love to ice fish. I am in a lot of different forums and thought I would join this one and share will fellow Minnesotans!

[Outdoors Junkie]

Welcome to MNO!  Glad you are here!   

[UplandObsession]

Just noticed this thread after about a week of being on here.
 My name is Isaiah, 23yrs old, currently reside in Becker/ Clearwater MN. normally live in a fish house in the winter and my truck in the summer. I have been called a gypsy plenty of times because I move around so much.  Now engaged and she put a stop to that. "I have better things to worry about." or atleast she says. Im in the Army national guard as a Cavalry Scout.
I have done alot of different things having to do with the outdoors thanks to my father, grandfather, and great grandfather from flyfishing in revelstoke BC to Dove hunting on some family land in clearwater. But never trapped anything other than pocket gophers. A random fact is I love Gary Paulsen books and hopefully be a 4th generation lumberyard owner. lol
