12/30/2014 02:24AM Heavy Canoe and I are introducing our pre-teen daughters to winter camping in a couple of weeks. We are heading to a YMCA camp in NE Wisconsin we enjoyed as kids. They have agreed to let us set up camp and use the facilities for a nominal fee. Not our usual roughing it but great intro outing for the girls. Will get to do snow shoeing, X country skiing, and, of course, ice fishing. Our other departure from the norm is leaving the heavy canvas tent behind in favor of a double wide potable shanty. |

12/28/2014 08:55PM       Here are a few pictures from my spearing trip to the BWCA. It was a warm, wet hike in but a good time! Can't beat hiking through 2" of snow. |

12/03/2014 01:55PM Have my first real winter trip planned just before Christmas for some pike fishing in the BWCA. Think I am up to 11 nights burning wood in a Snowtrekker so far this fall/winter. Shaping up to be a good year. |

12/02/2014 08:25PM The Red Lake area I was in was very desolate, for the 4 days I was there I saw: 1 hairy woodpecker, a few chickadees, 2 gray jays, 2 ruffed grouse, a handful of ravens, hare tracks, 1 set of pine marten and 1 set of red fox tracks. But, in a black spruce bog, you never know when you could stumble across an awesome sighting. |

On all other WMAs if you are trapping beaver or otter you need a permit." Thanks for quick reply. I have been going out around home a couple times a week might see one grouse each time out and usually get nothing,but is fun in the woods now with the snow, for you can see so many animal tracks. |

Thinking of heading into the BWCA around xmas for a few day pike fishing trip. Take notes,if you see any Grouse up there,it use to be very good. Let me know. I know some wildlife management areas you need special permits to trap certain species. Red Lake unit,I have no idea? Good luck trapping. |

12/01/2014 06:31PM Well got back from the first camping trip, was a lot of fun and a cool landscape to experience. No luck trapping but did get a grouse. Next stop BWCA northern pike!

11/26/2014 08:40PM I typically make 2 to 3 trips a year but with a new little one I will be making one 6 day trip up the Gunflint for Lakers in January. I like to make a walleye trip in early December but I guess that won't happen this year. |
