What a lousy weekend for weather. Well, we stepped out and

enjoyed the outdoors anyway.
The sturgeon spawning was in full swing.

We took my daughter out to see this for the first time, she said they looked like sharks. If you and your family have not experienced this, you need to check it out. There are many viewing spots along the river. We ended up just west of Shiocton at a large viewing area. What an incredible place we live in here in Wisconsin. So many outdoor activities to enjoy. I am looking forward to getting my chance at a turkey the next couple of weeks. This weather will subdue the activity a bit. When the high pressure system slides in next week be ready, they will be ready. The flocks should start to break up soon. This gives us a better chance to call in a gobbler. Join me next week when my guest

will be Don Kirby General Manager of the Green Bay

Gander Mountain. We are going to chat a bit about

Turkey hunting and the new changes in the deer hunting here in Wisconsin.

The pictures were taken at the viewing area in Shiocton, enjoy them.

The weather looks to be great this weekend. It's time to take the family to check out the sturgeon run on the Wolf river. There are several spots along the river in New London and north of Shiocton. Stop in at your local bait shops for details. Season 3 coming up, I can't wait. This is my favorite time to hunt. The hens are starting to build nests and leave the gobbler's. The gobbler's in turn are looking and are easier to call. Tip of the day. If you have a tom responding to you and coming your way and he quits responding get ready!!!. My experience has been that many times they come in silent.

Good Luck and be safe

"HEN'ed UP"that is the phrase for today. I was out scouting with my daughter today. The turkeys were very active for about an hour, then they just shut up. We spotted many flocks in the fields with multiple strutter's just following the hens.

Also a reminder that we are having a food plot seminar at Gander Mountain on Wednesday April 22nd at 6:30 pm in the Gander lodge. This years host will be Tim Malay from Ultimate Habitats and Tecomate Wildlife systems. See you there
