AS MOOSE HUNTING SEASON ARRIVES HERE ARE SOME ABSOLUTE ESSENTIALS



Before you head out the door on your next moose hunting excursion, there are certain items you'll want to make sure are making the trip with you.

So you're getting ready for moose hunting season and you think you've got everything packed up and ready to go. There's always something that can be overlooked, and often, that item is the one that you need the most.
Here are some things you definitely won't want to forget:
  • Rules and Regulations: Make sure you've studied up on the local rules and regulations of the areas you plan to hunt. Forgetting, or not knowing, the rules can lead to some intense interactions with law enforcement which can make things go sideways in a hurry. Don't forget to check regulations on motorized vehicles as well!
  • Share Your Plans: Make sure to share your location and hunting plans with your friends or family. Give them a time-frame you'll be out hunting. If something happens, you'll want someone to know you're missing!
  • Know The Weather: Check the forecast before you head out. It is also beneficial if you know the area's weather patterns during hunting season so  you can be prepared for the unexpected! Rest assured, the unexpected will happen more often than you think.
  • Recommended Equipment: Check out this detailed list of items and tools you should bring with you on the hunt to help with meat transport.

JOHNNIE CANDLE ON WALLEYE ICE FISHING

Johnnie Candle  from Devils Lake, North Dakota, is a tournament walleye fisherman and recently was inducted into the North Dakota Fishing Hall of Fame. I don’t do a whole lot of ice fishing during the winter months, however, I do some just to keep myself sharp on how to catch walleyes under a variety of fishing conditions. At the time of this interview in late January, I’m headed to ice fish for several hours.  I’ve found that some of the most productive spots result from my paying attention to where I’m  fishing for walleyes in the fall .

At the low-light parts of the winter day – at first light and at last light – walleyes usually will move up and feed where you’ve caught them in the summertime in their traditional feeding areas, generally shallow rock structure, and weeds that haven’t died off in the winter....
