Sarcasm aside, there’s also a new law that’s now grabbing the attention of Minnesota ice anglers. You may or may not have read about state statute 97C.363 in the Dec. 1, 2023, edition of Outdoor News – the “storing garbage and other waste on ice” law.
You won’t find many detractors regarding this legislation, which includes specifics right down to cigarettes and fireworks.

Otter Tail County’s South Turtle Lake is a two-basin system totaling just over 830 acres. The east basin is shallow and lined with pencil reed and bulrush stands, while the west end offers more depth, but plenty of vegetation as well.
It’s a pretty simple lake from a fish community standpoint. South Turtle is your basic bass/panfish type of fishery, but it also kicks out a few respectable northern pike, along with an occasional walleye.

The Glo-Ring fits into a Vexilar carry case rod holder and can be used as a rod holder too, but inside the ring are 18 super bright, UV LEDs to charge a lure instantly with 360-degree coverage by simply dropping the lure into the lighted chamber.

Pure maple syrup produced in Hibbing, Minn., took top honors in late October at the annual international competition held by the North American Maple Syrup Council.
Entries from 15 states and Canadian provinces were present in the 2023 competition, and a maple syrup produced by David Dahl, a hobbyist member of the Minnesota Maple Syrup Producers Association, was judged the North American MSC’s Best In Show.
With preliminary numbers from the recently completed firearms deer season showing a 7% decline in harvest from last year, it’s not surprising that muzzleloader license sales are up a bit, as hunters continue to try to bag their deer.
Although plenty of hunters shot deer during the firearms deer season – 112,636 was the preliminary total from the recently-completed season – many hunters saw fewer deer and harvest numbers dropped. That doesn’t bode well for your chances to shoot a deer, but with persistence and a little luck, there’s still time.

Many hunters dream of shooting a buck whose antlers score over 200 inches. It’s a rarity to record two 200-inch bucks in a lifetime.
But Luke Onstad of Spring Grove, Minn., achieved that rare accomplishment in back-to-back seasons. In 2022, he harvested a 22-point nontypical buck with a 236 7/8-inch gross score and a 232 4/8 net score. In 2023, he shot another 22-point nontypical buck with a gross score of 207 inches and a net score of 202, as measured prior to the standard 60-day drying period.
