HUNTING
Remembering the Becker County Sportsman 
We quietly paddled the duck boat in the dark using a flashlight to untangle the decoy strings and shine it back to shore now and then to keep our bearings. A few mallards were quacking off a ways so we knew we weren’t alone on the water.

The many sounds of Herter’s calls
One of the more highly sought after hunting collectibles involves duck calls. A high end, vintage duck call is worth hundreds of dollars. It is with that train of thought I bring you this week’s article on Herter’s duck calls.

A Czech gun company you’ve never heard of
Since the Soviet Empire was dismantled a few decades ago, the individual countries have successfully reestablished themselves. One of the best is the Czech Republic. A very large and prosperous arms and ammunition manufacturer is Ceska Zbrojovka Brod, which has been incorporated in the U.S.A. as CZ-U.S.A., and this unit imports guns for sale here.

A tremendous tom!
Ten-year-old Carson Reep was hunting in his grandfather’s woods near Pelican Lake with his uncle Dewey Perkins of Crystal, Minn., when he shot a 15-plus pound tom turkey at 6:50 a.m. It was Carson’s first-ever hunting trip, and he got the turkey on his first shot. Carson is the son of Chris and Belinda Reep of Audubon, and his grandfather is Mike Reep.

Early ice-out means early pan fishing
The ice was gone by April 4 on many of Minnesota’s northernmost lakes, including almost all hereabouts. Pickups were trailering boats and motors a short time later. Angling when the weather is still very chilly can mean large crappies to most anglers. Crappie action has been good at Rush Lake south of Perham, and at Marion Lake and Battle Lake.

DNR may ask for season in NW MN
I doubt that few Minnesota waterfowl hunters are eagerly awaiting an announcement, but there may be a decree so in, from the state DNR. Sandhill cranes aren’t an important part of our hunting seasons.

Canada possibly reversing gun control laws
Prior to my departure to Saskatchewan a few years ago, I bought a Remington 870 12 gauge, to give to my Canadian host and hunting partner. He was appreciative, of course, but more importantly, it saved him from a two-year wait for his government

Dream hunt yields dream mule buck
Growing up in Minnesota, we always had great whitetail deer hunting. I moved to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to open a hotel nearly 20 years ago. Still, a season never goes by without a trip up North to “Deer Camp” with friends and family.
