Late Ice and Big Crappies

Late Ice and Big Crappies By Steve Weisman I’m not sure which I get more excited for: early ice or late ice. Both times can provide excellent fishing opportunities. I guess what I like about late ice is the fact that the long stretches of intense cold are pretty much over with, old ice holes […]

Why Grain Food Plots: Whitetails 365

Why Grain Food Plots: Whitetails 365 Each winter, I go over what worked and what didn’t during last year’s deer season. The self-assessment is really taking place during the entire season.

Henry’s First Turkey Hunt Part 1

Henry’s First Turkey Hunt Part 1 “Shoot him when you’re ready” I said to my son Henry on that warm spring evening. The gobbler stopped 10 yards from our blind and froze. It seemed like hours before Henry pulled the trigger, leaving me time to recall all the preparations and practice that lead to this […]
